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

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Lock him up with 4. Hell we gave Pederson 3 years so why not? Then trade watts and frawley for midfield guns is my call. It starts in the midfield.

put the crack pipe down . hogan aint signing with the dees beyond this contract. dockers and eagles already in his ear.

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

Is that you Cameron Schwab?

I am also certain he will leave. Just a few murmurs around.

[rjay 24,921]

I'll be honest.

If you were Jesse Hogan's manager, and Melbourne tabled him a 5-year offer, even if it was sizeable financially, would you recommend he sign it?

Right now, that's not a certainty.

There is no way I would sign on if I were him in the current situation, it's just not going to happen. If the club can get back on track next year and show some signs for the future then it would be a good option for both to extend his contract. Now, it would be a stupid move for both parties. The current football mob are going to be too busy packing their own desks.

absolute hogwash and unlike you I have actual inside info. While a new coach might help he was loving the Dees preseason and wants to continue playing with Mitch and Jones.

the thing that will make him go is fickle supporters who say he doesn't smile enough.

If by murmurs you mean people on here panicking thinking the sky is falling and that every player with any ounce of talent wants to walk out, then yes there's plenty!

I'm pretty confident that the club would have done a fair bit of homework on the type of person Hogan is and the likelihood of him wanting to go back home given the investment they've made giving up such a high draft pick fos someone who couldn't even play this year. I reckon you might find that Hogan, Viney, Toumpas, Kent etc are all pretty determined individuals and they'll be keen to help lead the club out of it's current mess.

Anyway he can't just leave without the club agreeing to a trade. I think everyone just needs to take a deep breath....

Looks like we are going all in on the kid.

Need this to work....

This guy is the best talent I've seen walk into the club in 40 years.

Every cloud has a silver lining. He'll stay a Dee and I can't wait for next year (said that before).

hopefully this rebuild starts sooner rather than later and he signs in the dotted line.

Agree with your view of him and I have seen him play and I was salivating.

I pray you are correct about him staying a Dee as at the moment he is ours for the next two years only. We need to be on the improve next season if we can't get his signature this year on an extension to his contract.

BH we have all said cant wait for next yr for the past 7 yrs. Force of habit I think.

Once the FD is restructured, board is reshuffled and a new EXPERIENCED coach is signed everything will change for the better.

There is a different feel about this change that is coming as opposed to the ones in the past.

glad we are getting on the front foot about this. If we lock this kid away it will help me sleep at night. Tragic i know, but not much else to hope for!

Any inside knowledge BH? Have you ever spoken to him at any training sessions?

Geez I hope this is wrong. Being screwed by a manager of an 18 year old to become one of our highest paid players before he gets a game.

That's just the pits for us as a club. Our hard earned money we spend on this club should go to an experience midfielder to come in next year and help us rise up the ladder.

I will spew if we pay hogan that much now.

[rpfc 28,415]

Hogan is critical for the Demons, as the 195cm power forward is set to become a key public face of the club's rebuild from next season.

He has been repeatedly referred to by Melbourne officials in public speeches and media engagements as a silver lining to a dark season.

I hate the above.

As per my earlier post, can we just pump up the men in our team (however bad they are) and leave the kids to play footy?

No you won't.

You will be thankful we have extended the contract of a talent like him.

And we have plenty of cap space, just a ridiculous amount.

Thanks to our atrocious recruitment several years ago we have plenty of money to throw at an experienced midfielder.

So, feel better?

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

On sen this morning - reports we have offered a 5 year contract for big money. Dermie thinks its not the best idea but that the club needs 'good news'.

[What 18,810]

Im glad this is happening and hope he signs up soon

GO JESSE

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Maybe there is something behind the mumblings we hear about Hogan going home, club on the front foot.

Guess we have to find out before this years draft, that way if he is leaving we can take Boyd.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

I've heard he is happy.
