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

Featured Replies

TS wanted to be a one club player.

That did not last long

The MFC needs to improve on and off the field to give the kid some hope for the future.

Add about five others to that list.

I question whether your opening statement is correct.

 

What Manager with half a brain would encourage this kid to sign with the MFC beyond 2014.

IMO the MFC will really need to show some big improvements in 2014 to keep this kid.

That is the position our club is in at present.

Ask yourself one question if you were Hogan would you want to be part of this years team?

There are plenty of managers who would recommend staying beyond 2015 (not 2014).

First, we'll be able to offer him more than any other club, so financially there is a strong incentive.

Second, he's going to be the apple in every Melbourne kid's eye because he'll stand out like a diamond in the rough - meaning his sponsorship and marketing value improves here relative to other clubs with other young stars.

Third, 2013 should (hopefully) represent the bottoming out of this club, meaning that it's all upwards from here.

Fourth, adding in potentially ND2, and/or a FA, and/or a trade, he'll have N Jones, Viney, Toumpas, Grimes, Trengove and M Jones to deliver the ball to him - with time, and with hopefully one or two more mids, that's a decent amount of supply.

That's how I'd spin it, anyway.

As well as that, if he signed a big money 5 year contract, he'd come out of that a very wealthy young man - and still only 23 years old.

I'd suggest to him that he should make money while he is young and then if the MFC is still rubbish when the contact expires, he still has plenty of footy left and could chase success with another club.

I hope we will at least be competetive in 5 years time anyway.

He would be silly not to sign it, he get out of bed go to training and break down, I bet Mitch Clarks glad he signed his massive deal , he could've gone to Freo and got half the money, being a sportsman only a short term job, you could break down anytime.

I can't believe the trashing that we are getting over this. Martin and Hogan have the same manager, Martin has been given a five year contract, their manager has obviously pointed this out to us and said "How about it?". This is not us deparately trying to stitch him up, it's more of their manager trying to stitch us up.

Having said that, I would still give him the five years.


I question whether your opening statement is correct.

That was my point RB he said he wanted to be but we all know that what people often say is different to what they intend in the loger term. TS is a good example.

I give little weight to what people have purported to have said.

Actions are what counts.

I will believe Hogan is committed to a long term future with the MFC when re signs for a longer period.

Sign him up and breed him out.

Our luck he would have a set of twins and then triplets.

All GIRLS.

Has to reach the minimum games first of all. Is it 150?

Still praying we can get this done.

Might have to wait for the new coach though.

edit - by my count he has kicked 30 goals in 10 games in the VFL, including a game where he left early with injury

Amazing effort.

Given that we have more kids around Hogans age at our club - than Freo or West Coast, I think that helps our chances.

Hogan will be a big name in football and he has every opportunity to become everything he could be - playing at MFC.

You are 100% correct that we really do need get this coaching business sorted, I really pray we get Roos, he is that good.


If he didn't want to come to Victoria he wouldn't have put himself in the mini draft, he will sign in due course.

You can add an "A" grade coach to your list tu.

All GIRLS.

Think Hogan should meet with the new Women's team we have going on. One by one. In private.

I'm thinking a Magic Johnson style 25 year $25m contract for Jesse.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
