Former Melbourne forward David Schwarz has hit out at young gun Jesse Hogan, calling his kicking for a goal "a disgrace" and saying that it could cost the young forward "$400,000 a year".

Hogan was wayward in front of goal during Melbourne's 24-point win over St Kilda, kicking two goals and two behinds.

"Jesse Hogan's kicking for goal is a disgrace, shocking, absolutely shocking," said Schwarz on SEN radio.

"He's kicking with a left-handed drop for a right-footed kick – awkward is an understatement.
