    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

Sign Jesse Hogan up for 5 years (Suns and Jack Martin)


What

Recommended Posts

Thought it was really awesome to see the Suns signed their young gun mini draft pick Jack Martin to a 5 year deal last week,

Obviously they see him as cornerstone of the club going forward, and have huge confidence in the kid,

I would love to see the Demons do the same thing with Jesse Hogan. If Martin is good enough for a 5 year deal already, then Jesse is good enough for 10.

Hogan is the kind of player build an entire team around.

I wonder if he would sign on for 5 years at this stage? Guess its hard to say.

I'm hoping he will be a star but let' not get ahead of ourselves. Lets see him perform in the one's first before we offer exceptional contracts.

Unless you're Lucas Cook even a speculative tall is usually given 5 years on a list to prove his worth. I have seen enough to know Hogan will be a star in 3. If you can hook him for 5 do it but I would think a young kid in our current environment would want to know a bit more about who is coaching him beyond this year before he signed up long term.

And announce a new deal for Sylvia too asap.

He's the one I want the club to commit to and vice versa. I will lose the plot if yet another long term Demon leaves the club at the end of the year.

Contract extension for Frawley as well while we're at it.

5 year deals can be risky can't they?

I think he is going to be a Johnathan Brown 2.0 but agree that a 3 year deal depending on next years result would be a better approach.

Offering him a 5 year deal when he is only18 might send the wrong idea - that we are desperate and doubt his ability to commit to us in the future.

There have been many instances where we thought we had a star but didn't - Scully, Trenners, Morton and Watts etc.

I don't think I could take years of moaning because Hogan turned out useless and we are stuck with him for 5 year (like Jamar).

But I do think he will be a star!

We want to win a premiership in the next 10 years we need to get the signature of Jesse Hogan and James Frawley during this hard time, we can't let these boys walk.

Having said that it's too early to give Jesse hogan a 5 year deal, a two year contract extension being placed infront of him right now couldn't be the worst thing in the world though?

thanks for you input, but it has nothing to do with the topic

Hey Hoges I think it does! MFC are always waiting for someone, another star another no 1 draft pick a better coach etc etc

My point is whether Jesse is here for one year or 5 unless all else is done he will whither as many before

Anyways thanks for the critique

We can offer it to him if we like, however if I was him I would hold off and see where the club is heading. At the moment any reasonable management would not advise him to sign. Next season when the future of the club and FD is more certain would be the time, 3 or 5 we should get an extension as a sign of faith that he has a future with a club heading in the right direction.

We'll be right, we can offer Hogan the world.

Davey, Jamar, Sylvia will probably be gone by 2015.

Hoping we trade Jamar and they pick up the slack.

Delist Davey.

Keep Colin, but he'll most likely want to leave.

There aren't many other blokes coming through worthy of a top paycheck.

We have a good bunch of kids coming through, we just need to sort [censored] out by next year.

I am glad the AFL is cleaning us out and starting from scratch.

As supporters lose hope, it becomes even more important we lock Jesse in long term.

Question now is if he would want to, and would his manager advise signing long term with such a rabble?

They are rare individuals that will not waiver and sign-on for the pain. Trengove did it in the middle of issues a couple years back. Grimes did it this year.

I want him to but we have to show this boy, and Jack, and Dimitri that we are a club that will benefit their future, not just 'bank on' them as our future.

Really good point, that has been the case far too many times in the recent past.

Like the success of signing Davey for 4 years was??

What are we protecting here more, your sanity or the club?

I am not saying losing players won't hurt - it's not the end of the world, it will mark the end of Neelds though

I wouldn't sign John Coleman to a 5 year contract

Ironically Coleman never made it to 100 games because of a career ending injury

We are in no position to roll the dice on long term contacts and to do so would be irresponsible

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
