Simon Hogan - information

[catswhiskers]

Living a long way from KP its hard to keep track of the newer blokes. There has been very little discussion of this kid compared with say Davenport, Donohue, Djerrkura etc. I notice though that he IS on the radar of the Journo that wrote the season report for Geelong.

Can someone or three tell me more about him. Is he a small back like Donohue? or have a different role? Is he a big chance like this Journo seems to think?

Thanks

there is some info here http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=335154

came to the club pretty light and has spent the last few years in the VFL. Was named emergency several times this year for the AFL side because he was impressing everyone with his VFL performances. May get his debut next year in the AFL side with another pre-season under his belt.

im a big fan of the lad, as catman forever said he was emergency numerous times this season but could never break through understandably but a great effort none the less. came her needing to put on muscle and weight and has done that and has pretty much done everything asked of him.

If he has signed which im pretty sure he would have then he will play pre season cup next year no doubt about it baring injuries so we will get a good look at him.

He started at a half forward at the club but played most of this vfl season in the middle because of his big tank. Had a couple of run with roles but mostly played a one sided game where his opponent found himself getting alot of the ball on occassions but so did all the vfl midfielders, probably needs to get that balance right and defend better but he is hard at the pill, doesnt have great skills but is good under pressure and makes good decisions which is hard to find in a player.

I think he will become a wingman or midfielder but can play forward effectively.
