McQueen

I think he was the only player with the 'mark of respect arm band' on so I'm imagining it was personal and not club related.

We had a poor game but last week was a great win. We'll be a better team than North next year. Granted that we need to be a much improved team next year to keep the Hulk.

I love watching this kid play footy in a Melbourne jumper.

I don't think Viney made as much of an impact on the game as Brayshaw has in their respective first year thus far. They're both blessed with leadership traits and an agressive playing style.

A co-captaincy of Viney and Brayshaw after Jonesy's tenure ends seems a reasonable proposition.

Agree with all of that however, my point was that if he remains consistent, as does Cripps, it will be the eye-catching games that get Jesse over the line.

I think the Hulk will need a few more games where he clearly dominates and kicks more than 2 or 3 goals. There's no doubting he's a rising star but I reckon the criteria will be heavily biased toward consistency. A few real eye-catching performances will help Jesse a lot. And let's not forget about Gus, either.

From today's set shots it appeared he's comfortable kicking from 45 - 50m. Outside of 50m his effort affects accuracy. Still pretty bloody good for a 13 gamer.

No, you do the leg work and tell me why he would not.

I'd be wanting those odds for him to kick one for the game.

I can't remember who it was but one of the commentators on tele did a mid-year AA team and it had Hurley in it. Might've been Alistair Lynch.. Personally I think Hurley is overrated and has escaped criticism over the years.

Would love to see Jesse dish out a super game by out-marking Hurley and kicking a bag. 6 goals today??

On AFL 360 tonight Gerard and Slobbo asked each other "if you had the chance to pick any marquee player to build a team around who would it be?" Slobbo went with Fyfe. Gerard went with the Hulk. Jesse will be one of the highest paid youngsters on his next contract and I hope it's the MFC paying it. If we're still serving up paltry efforts in two years time I'd be very concerned.

How does the rising star work? Can he get another nomination this week?

Did he see it lace out at all yesterday. Maybe once. That said, Frost played him very well.

I understand your situation only too well but when you live in WA, Tassie seems like a 9 iron to the MCG.

And you live just across the Tasman!?

I've got a feeling Jesse's gonna get mad, turn green and kick his first 5 goal bag this weekend. Set your recorders boys and girls.

The arrogance was on show in our first game against the Suns. In hindsight, given the results the Suns have had, our victory probably isn't as impressive as first thought but by geez we showed some real mongrel in that game that clearly wasn't part of season 2014. Let's hope we can sustain it this time around pick off the Power this weekend.

Personally I can't see anything wrong with the Hogan and Pedersen combo if it keeps up.

Cancel the current contract and offer him 7 on big $ from next year and take him through to 2022 by which time he'll have multiple premiership medals.

Doggies forked out $1M per year for Boyd and on current projections Hogan will be a better player. Please don't berate me about how early it is in their careers either. It's the closest thing to apples we can compare against.

Clear leader in "GIF OF THE YEAR" race.

I've read some dumb shyte on here before and your comments are right up there. Hogan has massive potential. Neitz is proven MFC gun.

Granted, it is.
