    Hogan is out of form and his confidence is low. Thanks for letting us know Dermot 'Captain Obvious' Brereton.

    After a cracking first 9 or so rounds, the guy has had a few low weeks. I'm sure it's not lost on the FD, they'll be working on it.

    Lol to the posters on other threads suggesting we should drop or even trade him!

    Get Dermott down to the club NOW to forward coach Hogan. 

    Pay him a good wage, he knows exactly what Hogan should be doing, as he was the same player 30 years ago

    GET Dermott MFC

    4-6 goals a game we should be getting with our i50 count

    68 last week and Hogan was unsighted!!!!

    MADNESS..

    Spot on, Moonie.  It's nothing more than this.

    Jonathon Brown said he playing like a 'Fish' but should be the 'Shark'.  https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/why-demons-need-star-forward-jesse-hogan-to-return-to-being-a-great-white-shark/news-story/1117606af1d368416a21f9cc0decbaac

    Brown suggests, his role as a mid/forward has him chasing possessions and scouting packs(fish) rather than going for pack marks or crashing packs and bring the ball to ground (shark).  It certainly seems that way of late.

    For mine, Jesse is another example of the 'flexible players' game plan getting to the point where we have a forward group comprised of uniform players without clearly identified roles.  This is the antithesis of cohesion and predictability in the forward half.

    Hes had a couple of quiet games...  three games ago he had 19 possessions, 10 marks and kicked 5 goals.   The game before that he had 20-11-5.

    Give me a break.

    He can’t take big pack marks. So why is anyone suprised when we constantly bomb the footy in he’s not influencing the game. If he’s playing deep kick it accordingly, play to his strengths. Having said that it doesn’t mean he still can’t crash the occasional pack.

    It's not like the last few weeks define his career.

    It's been atypical.  

    He'll sort it out.

    Hogan will be fine.  Last week no-one actually kicked him the bloody ball so that wasn't his fault.  Against Port he was poor.

    He is an absolute gun and would be third in our BnF imo (behind Gawn and Oliver)

    and he LOVES the sainters.  6.0 comin up.

    Jesse's best role is as a moving tall target with licence to roam to positions where he can present and distribute.

    For him to be a "front and square" crumber is a waste of a huge talent and punishes the team who lose his exquisite skills up the ground.

    The only time he should be near the goal square is when he is running.

    It will take a combined effort SW.  This is a great test for the club and player to adjust the sails from starboard (crumbing fish role as mentioned) to Port (KPF - shark).  If the FD weren't aware of it they certainly will now ?

    Next 3 weeks is a great opportunity to fix.

    I think they missed the fact that our delivery was horrid at times.  But at other times it was in his area (as per fox video) and on a couple of occasions on the chest also which he missed.

    My understanding is forwards gain confidence with much that they do by scoring goals.  Get him back to doing that and the rest should follow.

    P.S. Minor point but might have helped his confidence a little if T-Mac handballed to him in the square on Friday night for the goal.  Bit risky though.

    All fugazi 

    Hogan at his best is everything, covering more kms faster than opponents, being stronger than them, crashing packs, marking and kicking goals.  He is not one ‘type’ he is his own beast.

    he is still young, and his form will fluctuate.  He will be back in form and all of those who want him traded or dropped can rejizz on the oldjizz.  Because there was plenty’o’that when he was dominating.

    Brereton is a stain, Jesse is an easy target. I would not let Brereton anywhere near him.

    Real stars of the game live for the big moments, whereas most of ours seem to overawed in every big game we play.

    If only the entire side were as consistent as Oliver, regardless of opposition,  we would be world beaters.

    I think Hogan would look good with blonde tints in his hair too ?

    Yeah, you're right, everything's fine and it is unreasonable of us to expect him to get a kick in big games against Collingwood and Port.  FFS.

    It was interesting to hear Roos talk about us before the port game  last week.

    He said one big area for concern was that our forward structure has not settled properly yet.

    The bombing wouldn't have helped.

    I think Dermott is commenting on the symptoms and Roos knows the cause.

    Hope it gets sorted quickly.

    How many games did Richmond's "stars" have under their belt before they started to perform in the big moments ?

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
