Most beautiful man you'll ever see gets Rising Star Award (http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/afl-rising-star-jesse-hogan-of-melbourne-wins-pips-patrick-cripps-of-carlton/story-fnelctok-1227519227695)
It's been a helluva journey this year watching this guy tear apart All-Australian defenders, kicking bags, creating goals and winning over our hearts :-*
It was Round 4 this year that he overtook Nathan Jones as my most beloved player (and I flowering love Nathan Jones)... it took 4 games for him to do it!
Big Mac and I often displayed our affections on the forum, with Barra making it known as well :P
I just... love him. You know? Like I love him.
Thank you for being you, Jesse. One gets the feeling this isn't the last award you'll receive.
Regards,
XOXOX

- Melbourne Faithful ME
They say he shaved this morning in preparation for the ceremony...
But it grew back in the hours he was there :-X
Just... listen to what he had to say here:
QuoteHogan said he wasn’t the most “academic kid in high schoolâ€.
“Mum wasn’t too proud of me. I had a lot of half days. Whenever the new COD (Call of Duty) or video game came I’d have a few sick days. She couldn’t get my out of bed and I’d say ‘Mum you’re having a laugh, just call school now and say I’ll be there Wednesday’,â€
How can you not love this guy? He's displayed this 'strut' all year. I just, love him, you know?
Will be a superstar, phenomenal debut season for the Hulk. Hope it's the first of many 8)
I was watching when he said that and thought, this guy is a lot like me. Except I couldn't play football as good as him haha.
One of the best debut seasons ive seen in 38 years of watching AFL footy. To do it in the position he plays is pretty special. We are all going to enjoy many years of watching him do his thing, who knows how far he can take his name up the ladder of the greats to of played our game. Glad he won it deserved to win it outright.

I still love this
"When Hogan was lining up for one of his three goals against the Doggies last week, rival skipper Robert Murphy was apparently doing his best to put him off by screaming "You can't miss this, you're Melbourne's great white hope".
Indeed, in his 16th season, Murphy probably had every reason to believe that sledging a first-year player might work. Which is why Hogan's response, after kicking the goal, is truly priceless. "And there's your great white hope," he retorted, pointing to Tom Boyd, who was sitting on the Dogs' bench at the time. had been subbed out of the game with just one handball to his name"

Then there was the incident where he told off Sam Blease in his only VFL game last year, loud enough for everyone at the ground to hear apparently
