is he fast? no

is he a good kick? no

does he apply defensive pressure? no

is he a good mark? he's ok but wrestles too much.

i would be all up for trading him.

for those that say he is a good field kick are deluded. his ball drop is hard to watch.

Only one  person is deluded on here.

Found it!!!!

watch pedo's pass to him in the last, leading to the speccie on his head. If you think Hogan is the problem, you're wrong.

Isn't that Petracca that is left handed? Even bounces the ball left handed. Not sure about Hogan though.

I can confirm Hoges is left handed. I asked him as he continually shot left handed at one of the MFC holiday programs at MSAC where he and Trac were shooting hoops. Both would not be out of place on a basketball court.

Thanks mate, good to know 


Just interviewed on Talking Footy. Very nervous, not a great speaker. Was asked about staying long term at the Dees. Gave the well rehearsed, straight bat response. 

He's Gawn!

Also said his injury only happened against the swans and was just a niggle. Also on On The Couch, they showed footage of Jesses poor positioning and leading patterns, just goes to show it isn’t just the midfields fault, he’s not positioning himself anywhere near where he should be. Jonathon Brown called him out and said he was part of the blame.

He has kicked 42 of his goals this year against the bottom 10 sides? Barely averaging a goal a game against the top sides.

Correct, I posted the stats this morning. Flat tracker

Would love Jonathan Brown to do some coaching with him in the off season.

Well Jonathon Brown showed that footage amongst several others on On The Couch as another example of Jesse Hogan being terribly out of position.

Dockers would give us 1st rounder 2018, 2  nd rounder 2019 and a player. Worth a look

Depending on the player yes please 

These last two rounds Hogan has to stand up and be counted, right now he's the epitome of a Melbourne player. A rock star vs lower teams, goes to water against the good teams.

How do you listen to a post? Hehe.

He holds the ball in a way to suit his left boot, kind of; but his run up, as silly as it looks, is for his right boot

... his current method does not work closer to goal.

Why does everyone pick on @DV8, he's just having his say, take it or leave it lol

Its because I challenge the status quo...  and because of this;  I think outside the status-quo box,,,  so then I have different thoughts/ideas, to those conservatives caught up within that box.    'They', just do more of the same,,, each time.  coming up with the same results time after time_]

 

I challenge them _  from the words of the song to the mental theme of the club and supporters.    from the culture,,,  to the vibe/noise in the stands on game-day.

 

I am getting results...  back at the expense of my own well-being.

No, msf, its confidence related...  but the problem remains... our midfield needs better mids, who use the ball smarter.

We still have to somehow,,, get those players onto our list.   it's imperative we do, because we are crucifying our tall forwards, and the smalls as well to a lesser extent.

 

Hogan is out of position for his skills.

Did you watch On The Couch last night and Jonathon Brown?

yes it is Drts.

We have too many of the same types, in relation to our needs;  as forwards and as mids.

No MSF, I don't watch fox.

But my point is nothing to do with Hogan's ability.   We have too many players for his position, compared to elite mids we don't have.

He is not suited close to goal, with the way we bring the ball in.

 

Weideman is better with the high ball than Jesse. 

Jesse would be better playing Petracca's role, than playing deep.  half-foward/mid.

 

The whole gist of my points are to trade, to get elite mids into the club.  We have to give something, to get something.

Hogan will be a star somewhere.

 

No point having star forwards, if they can't get the ball in the first place.  This is our dilemma.

How do we have too many players for his position though? We have Weed who isn't up to it yet, Smith who is a bit parter and Pedo who is 32 next year. Don't see too many others fighting for his position long term?

whats happened, I have see any news yet.

 

losing hogan is no loss. probably play with real spirit now without having the staging sook inside 50m

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
