I can picture the press conference with Hogan, Frawley, Watts and Sylvia all announcing their contract extensions at the same time. Roos will talk about stability, culture and the long term view the club is taking and the consistency the succession plan will have in the careers of all young Melbourne players. It will be good vibes all round and carefully orchestrated in the lead in to trade week as we attempt to attract the likes of Swallow, Adams and co to join the club.

Well that's how I'd do it anyway . . .

man.. Hoges is 18 and hasn't played a game and is dead set the biggest asset at the club.. hard to think of anyone ever who has had so much of a buzz at his stage

cannot wait until season 2014

I can think of a couple. O'Meara and Martin for instance.

Yes that is exactly where Hogan sits, potential but has not played a game yet. Not sure I agree with this hype. Not sure too many coaches would be flying over the continent to see a player we already have signed, who is going nowhere for 2 years and who is yet to play a senior game. I reckon if I was Roos I have a lot on and I will catch up with Jesse face to face when he is back training. Happy to check in by phone or Skype in the meantime. But then I am old school.

as if, Martin wasn't even considered top pick at the same stage and O'Meara just like every no.1 before him.. this is different,, KPP who has shown heaps at VFL as a 17 year old, pretty much unprecedented

Can you divide your love between three?

Jackson, Roos and Hogan

I doubt that's all he's heading over there for. Would be amazed if he didn't have a chat with scott burns and might have a chat with scott selwood as well.

Hopefully Paul Roos Galvanizes this group like Steve Waugh did when he became the captain of the Australian cricket team!! Would love 16 straight haha!

Has he started chasing up Pederson?............ Isn't his contract up in a couple years?

I'm moving a new Demonland by-law that prohibits posters from taking the [censored] out of a player whose name you spell incorrectly.

Yes good point there may be some rich pickings in WA for coaches and perhaps some WAFL or WC players. I should never doubt Roosey.

Fixed.

So basically no one can take the [censored] out of Trengove, Moloney or McDonald?

No. Priorities, we have to sign Nicholson first. Edited by Demon Jack

only been coach for a fortnight? Seriously, time must move really slowly for the author of that article.

Hang on...if he's saying it's been longer than it really has been, then doesn't that mean time moves faster for the author of that article?

I'd much rather see Chip get an extension than Hogan at this point in time.

I was thinking that the 4 days has stretched to 2 weeks for him thus feels slow?

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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.
