Farewell Jesse Hogan

Devil In Disguise
in Melbourne Demons

You’re doing well if you’re able to roll a modern car on a suburban neighbourhood street whilst doing the speed limit. As long as no one was hurt and lessons are learnt. Looking forward to seeing Jesse pull on the purple socks next season, I’d enjoy seeing him fire (except against us).

    An SUV with a high centre of gravity will roll even at low speed if control is lost and skids sideways, hits a kerb and flips over.  BTW his car is a VW and not a BMW. He most likely clipped the parked car, lost control and swerved  into the kerb. The lack of major damage to the car indicates he was likely going at the speed limit or under.

    it was reported that he did clip the parked car......after he was "reaching down for something". the something (phone?) was not described.

    and yes suvs are easier to roll than a conventional sedan (higher centre of gravity)

    when i was younger (and stupider) a common refrain was "you don't really know how to drive a car until you have rolled one over"

    Many years ago my wife rolled her car on to its side going up a straight suburban hill, at about 40km an hour.

    How you ask?

    Left front tyre burst, pulling the steering wheel to the left, and being an inexperienced driver she hit the brakes hard and whoops she do. Not hurt.

    Another time I came home from work to find her car smashed into the rear boundary fence.What the? 

    Story goes she was moving her car down the driveway, only a couple of meters to put it in the shade with our 2 yo son on her lap. He has managed to somehow slip down onto the floor between her feet and onto the gas pedal.Down the driveway she goes,hitting the side fence, bouncing off that and into the side of the house, off that, across the the back lawn and into the fence.Again no one hurt except her bank balance.

    Years ago driving up Little Lonsdale St I clipped a car that ran a red light at Swanson St and sent it skidding towards  the kerb, it flipped over onto the footpath stopping on its back against the wall of the old Queen Vic hospital. It was a Friday night when there was late Friday night shopping and there were pedestrians everywhere and it was a miracle none got hit by the out of control car. Luckily the other driver was not seriously hurt.

    I rolled one over back in the day and learnt stacking actually hurts.
    Was a far more careful driver from that moment on.

    Playing Possum & hiding in full view.  Very deceptive, they are.  Those stationary cars.

    I ran into one in my drive-way, as a lad.

    Or if the front wheel gets puled toward the vehicle being hit,  then the 4WD could climb the side of other car, and then tip over.

     2 handed driving Jesse, in future.

    There you go, that sounds like it. 

    And when leaning forward, head down, often that's enough to pull the steering to far either way.   Then bango.

    Whatever the science of rolling an SUV, trouble or misfortune seems to follow Jesse. 

    He needs to turn it around in 2020 otherwise everyone will be talking about his wasted talent.

    In spite of all the crap I wish he was still at the MFC Ernest, 50 goal a year KPF don't grow on trees. Can you imagine the Weid kicking 50 in season? I can't.

    Agreed, but with the assumption that we could get him on the park to kick those 50 odd goals.

    What suburb do you live in? I want to avoid driving there knowing she could be behind the wheel!!!!

    I've rolled a car too around 20 years ago, hit a bluestone garden bed which would have been around 350mm high, ripping the wheel off under the chassis causing the car to tip over. Would have been doing around 30-40kmh.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
