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!

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.

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??

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
