Loving it.

Great initiative to get over and meet his folks as opposed to trying to convince the lad by himself in Melbourne.

    Roos is set to fly to Perth to **meet with and interview Scott Burns** whilst also catching up with Hoges for a beer and a steak. Just as likely.

    By now he must be on first name terms with the crew of that 5:30am long haul flight, surely!

    Roos is all business, he doesnt muck around. Only been there 2 days and has made a lot of moves!

    If I was Jesse Hogan the first thing I'd ask Roos is why we're having this discussion given we're both contracted for the same amount of time. For our sake I hope we sign him up for life. But I don't see any reason for Hogan to rush things. He has a two year contract.

    I think its more about reassuring both Jesse and his folks that the best place for Jesse is the MFC club, then locking him away. Talk about getting on the front foot!, loving your work so far Roosy!

    You can start comparing the length of their contracts as soon as you tell me that Jesse Hogan is in the process of finding and mentoring the best young key forward in the country to take over for him once he leaves.

    But looking at it objectively, Hogan would be mad to go anywhere near a contract until at least half-way through next year. Looking at it through red and blue glasses, "come on and sign, Hoges!"

    I believe he's over here to put that house he bought in Wembley Downs back on the market too.

    Might as well have a chat with Gaff, Shuey and S Selwood while he's here.

    Why did you dangle that hope in front of us? I had completely forgotten about that Selwood rumour!

    Now I'm going to be dreaming about that midfield all day.

    That sounds like a very astute call.

    He can call them all 'Nancy' for all I care, as long as we have 'em!

    For the conspiracy theorists among us, maybe those rumours surfaced as a result of actual sightings of Roos in Perth... because Roos was signed sealed and delivered some time ago, and was making preliminary approaches to potential successors and poaching player targets prior to it becoming public knowledge.

    Can't get into trouble for "tapping up" a player or coach if you've not actually signed to work for the club yet...

    Shouldn't Frawley be a greater priority than Hogan?

    Frawley is in his prime with 1 year to go on his contract.

    Hogan is developing and still has 2 to go.

    This is about a lot more than Hogan...

    You really think he hasn't spoken to Chip yet?

    Do you think they are posting all their moves in the media??

    One thing will keep Hogan at the MFC

    Winning games.

    Win ten in 2015 and he will re sign.

    IMO it is that simple.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
