We could lose Jesse Hogan

Whatever happened to that guy? A year ago his posts were everywhere.

Morphs into different accounts, I think he might have resurfaced again with this Machiavalli character.

Jack Martin signs contract extension and Jesse Hogan doesn't so Hogan must be gone. Isn't the Human brain amazing in how it can make logic jumps like that?

When Hogan's contract expires in two years from now he'll have a nice Melbourne local girlfriend, will be living with a couple of his best mates that he'll have been playing footy with for 3 years, and will have had a taste of the absolute worship that will come with being a star footballer. Even if he's homesick now, if he still is by late 2015 I'll be staggered.

Spot on, isn't he living with the Viney's and Toumpas? There is our core for the future, already living together which can only be positive.

    He is signed until 2015.

    And his agent not negotiating, if that is the case, is just another case, like Watts, of an agent doing his due diligence and protecting his client.

    Billy2803 is a poster here and he has said that if we hire an inexperienced coach he won't support the club anymore.

    But we expect our employees stuck in limbo to show ultimate loyalty?

    Make some good additions to the FD and hire a proven coach and we will keep these players.

    Note: I do not mention billy to ridicule, only to point out our expectations and our hypocrisy.

    Its been reported today that Jesse wont agree to a contract extension.

    I know I'm an intolerant bastard, but jeez I get annoyed when people blatantly misrepresent facts.

    Comprehension fail.

    Didn't I say that about Dean Laidley?

    Of the millions of posts that get posted on here, you picked mine for your example? GFYRPFC.

    He and his manager are smart. Imagine if he pulled a Cameron, and nearly won the Coleman in his second year? Suddenly we'd be looking at giving him the biggest contract of anyone on our list.

    Would be stupid of him to sign a long term contract before he has even played in the AFL.

    Your right im probably just paranoid

    Not paranoid mate - the skies not falling but being able to hang onto him, especially if he is half the player he is being talked up to be - is a real concern for us over the next season or so. Anyone who doesn't think it is a risk are just playing the ostrich.

    Jeez, cool down Billy.

    The point is that we have an expectation of players that are out of line.

    Trengove re-signing in 2011 was a show of faith wholly outside of what this club deserves.

    It's a risk and one the club must manage, but for mine it's not one worth raising a sweat over as a supporter. If we worry over every possible scenario that could happen over the next few years, we will never sleep again.

    What has that got to do with my reaction should we hire an inexperienced coach? I think my expectations of the club and players are quite realistic, but your post paints a different picture, in a thread that it doesn't belong.

    We have one last chance of getting this right. We can't expect a rookie coach (or Dean Laidley) to sell this "hope" that I need, that Old Dee and WYL need, and that PJ talks about. We need the best coach available THAT HAS EXPERIENCE. If we hire an inexperienced coach and I no longer support the club, all I am doing is saying my goodbyes before the life support is switched off. Some may want to hang around to watch the power go out, I don't think it will be the best thing for me to do that. It already feels like the club is palliative.

    FWIW - I totally agree with Hogan wanting to get a senior game first before looking at extensions. I'd raise my eyebrows if the Club demanded it. Can't really see how offering a 0 game player a 5 year deal, especially given that I'm not sure if the MFC itself has a 5 year contract.

    I'm starting to get paranoid about not getting paranoid ( looks over left shoulder rather quickly)

    were getting ahead of ourselves here

    shouldn't we wait until he drops marks

    gets shifted to the back pocket

    shows no desire to continue playing football

    waits to sign a new contract until after a new coach is contracted

    tells us hes under to much pressure re draft position

    looks sternly at coach during 3quarter time

    tweets himself having coffee in brizzy

    doesn't chase

    shrugs shoulders

    makes a statement ;I want to be a one club player;

    then and only then we need to panic

    and discuss what we can get in a trade

    He has a GF already in Perth.. Prob will lose him if we don't get our [censored] together!

    99% correct billy on almost all counts.

    Not sure I can speak for wyl but in my case I don't need it as I will buy a membership next year ( because I am too stupid to stop ) but IMO there are thousands of members and sponsors who need that hope.

    Have we offered him a contract extension - maybe. I'm sure we would've at least discussed it.

    But it's not really an issue.

    And his homesickness is likely real but again it's not a huge problem right now. We've deliberately managed him and given him plenty of trips home to Perth so he stays healthy and fresh mentally and physically. I fully expect as he starts playing games over the next 2 seasons he'll get more of a sense of pride for the jumper. Plus he'll keep making new friends and settling in.

    Every club has had guys who are completely homesick early and then once they settle in can't imagine ever leaving.

    The most important thing we can do for Hogan is turn up next year and cheer when he does something good and not be too hard on him if he struggles to adapt to AFL level straight away.

    This is Demonland......We reserve the right to bag the crap out of him.....Trade him......Delist him......If he is not a match winner in his first game........Master.....What were you thinking.....

    WE COULD START ONE NOW

    and that's the problem with our club, were to slow off the mark

  • Quote

    Not worried one bit. By the time his contract is up, we should be on our way up the ladder. Because if we ain't, can't blame the kid for leaving.

    So again, not worried. Was more Happy to read Misson's comment on Clarky

    Misson also said "Mitch Clark has resumed running with the rehabilitation group as he begins his preparation to be ready for 2014"

    Well, I believe there is a correlation; the correlation being that our support is contingent, and we should not damn employees for their continued desire to be at the club being contingent.

    I never damned your position - I agree with the premise in fact: we need to hire an experienced coach (and one that isn't Laidley and sells some level of hope).

    There are a few supporters who have turned on Watts because he will not sign before he sees the direction we are headed.

    I see that as wholly unfair, especially considering your ultimatum as a supporter.

    I hope you calm down enough to understand that - like the note in the original post - I never meant to ridicule your position, only the views of those ridiculing Watts for not showing an unreasonable amount of loyalty to his employer.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
