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.

Roosey's next mission looks to be starting ... locking in Jesse Hogan long term:

So he was spotted on a perth bound flight !!! the irony :)

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.

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: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
