Some big marks taken last night on the end of some ordinary disposal from both teams due to the pressure. Didn’t see any supporters blaming their respective midfielders.

Well the Tiger supporters should be blaming their mids.

I have said previously the threat isn't Freo it's Meth Coast. Jesse's contract ends at a time which is perfect for them Kennedy will be done Le cras will be done and Natanui's wage will be significantly lower.

I hate them but they are well run and any leaks from them are deliberate 

yep and we would get pick 20 or thereabouts in return. Even if we keep him it would be overs from a dollar perspective.

Oh so blind are those that do not see.

Sign him or trade him this year.

Ship him out - we clearly don’t need talent like his judging by the first half at Optus.

Would be bloody handy out there today.

Yeah, who needs a talented forward who could turn out to be the next Josh Kennedy.

The one worry I have with Jesse is the feeling that he's going to be the super talented guy who breaks down every year and never lives up to his potential because of the never-ending rehab. I would love to know what our medical staff think about him.  It's just possible that two top ten picks could turn into a bargain for him.

Or someone who might drop his head, play for frees, half hearted second efforts and go sookilala if it's not his day.

No he doesn't do that all the time...but does often enough for some to take notice 

Anyone thinking he was the difference yesterday is kidding themselves.

We could have had wayne carey and gary ablett snr in out forward line yesterday and still would have got pantsed. If the team is prone to shirking the hard stuff your forwards will never be the difference makers.

Hogan would have kicked 50 this year - he is a player who kicks goals each week. Tom Macdonald and Weiderman are not players who kick goals each week.

Tom McDonald kicked 53 goals this year you clown.

Before yesterday, McDonald kicked at least one goal in every game he played this year.

Saying Hogan should be traded is stupid when clearly he is our best forward option by a mile. Not say Tom Mac isnt good or Weiderman wont be good... nust pointing out those saying we should trade him obviously dont look at the statistics.

He wouldn't have been the difference clearly, but he played better yesterday than our 2 key forwards and for that matter our 2 key backs and he wasn't even on the ground.

this is an embarassing comment. josh kennedy is a coleman medalist that excels in defensive pressure. Hogan is one of the worst in the comp for his pressure. If tom mcdonald couldn't have an impact in yesterdays game, no chance hogan wouldve gone near it.

Jesse Hogan 152 goals in his first 4 years in 71 games.

Josh Kennedy 90 goals in his first 5 years in the AFL in 67 games. 

Jesse averaged 50% more disposals in those games as well.

I think you are the one that needs to feel really embarrassed. Also I was rubbishing the get rid of Hogan thread. I never said he would have made a difference yesterday, so don't change the meaning of my post.

I said he could be our Josh Kennedy and people want to get rid of him. He is on better track than Josh was at the same stage.

Round, opponent, score, disposals, marks

Round 1 :  Geelong 3.0, 16 & 3

Round 2 : Brisbane 5.1, 22 & 9

Round 3 : North 1.2, 26 & 7

Round 4 : HAWKS 1.1, 24 & 3

Round 5 : TIGERS 2.2, 22 & 9

Round 6 : Bombers 2.1, 8 & 5

Round 7 : St.Kilda 3.1, 25 & 7

Round 8 : Suns 3.0, 22 & 8

Round 9 : Carlton 1.1, 15 & 6

Round 10 : Crows 5.0, 20 & 11

Round 11: Bulldogs 5.1, 19 & 10

Its at this point here people were saying he’s in AA form. 10 goals 1 from his last 2 games with a 31 for the year so far. The stage was set for something special on QB, and we got this....

Round 12 PIES 0.1, 17 & 3

Round 13 : Bye

No need to panic it was just a one off, or was it....

Round 14 : PORT 0.1, 12 & 2

Round 15 : Saints 3.2, 15 & 4

Round 16 : Freo 2.3 19 & 7

Round 17 : Bulldogs 4.1, 18 & 9

More goals against weaker clubs and all is forgotten again. Hold on....

Round 18 : GEELONG 1.1, 14 & 4

Rd 19 : Crows 1.0, 10 & 4

After yesterday’ loss many are now saying he’s been playing injured for weeks, so to help him recover the gets him to line up against the hapless Suns.

Round 20 : Suns 4.1, 22 & 10

Not bad for someone playing injured. But then again as some have already alluded to, a lot of players are carrying injuries this time of year, it all depends on whether or not it suits your narrative.

Round 21 : SWANS  1.3, 19 & 4

The games where the opponents names are in capitals are games where he needed to deliver. You could go into it more and look at how many of those behinds were easy misses, or like yesterday his disposal efficiency which was yesterday quite low. We are yet to play the Giants or the Eagles but looking at that the games against the other 5 top 8 sides and Geelong who are currently 9th there is a clear trend, and that is he goes missing in big games. Again, he’s not the player many thought he was going to become. 

The club should be open to trading him but we don’t need more kids, line up and a ready made player and make it a three way trade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just reposting this in the hope some others might get some context on Hogan, his goals for the year and his inability this year to influence certain games.

you can show me all the stats in the world. im sure you couldve shown similar stats to prove watts was decent.

at the end of the day he offers 0 forward pressure. 0! he is not a great kick for goal and is mentally weak. no surprise he was no loss in finals and he is only best 22 if he fixes his attitude.

Thankyou...its valuable context.

I dont think anyone really thinks the lad isnt talented. It's a very one sided extrapolation to say he'll be as good as Kennedy.

That said it would not surprise me if WCE made a play for him

People need to quote posters correctly. I said he COULD  become our Kennedy not that he is.

I’ve shown you he has kicked 60 more goals in the same games as Kennedy and you dismiss it as just a stat. Then you say  stats could show Watts was decent. Unbelievable.

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years.
