Jesse Hogan ~ new 2 year deal

[DemonOX 8,696]

The timing is interesting.

Why?

[beelzebub 23,198]

and at just 500 smackaroos a year...an absolute steal

Yup, considering teams would have been throwing 700k at him by the time season 2016 rolls around it is a steal

Not bad for a bloke who hasn't played a game!!

[Moonshadow 17,490]

Is that old age moon??

Picked it one Ox. Moonie shuffles around the supermarkets looking for specials on incontinence pads. Poor [censored].

I estimate I'm just over half your age BBO. Who you calling old, gramps?!

2 years is good. He hasn't played a game yet, let's remember, has a major back injury that he is getting over. And the end of that coincides with the approx end of Roosy's tenure, so it gives Jesse the option seeing who takes over, not that that is the reason for 2 yrs.

[Demon Dynasty 17,091]

The Roos train is a rollin' on ....

[BAMF 4,107]

Thank heavens for that.

Not that I was worried about him leaving. Just couldnt handle the negative 'sky is falling' posters always chirping on about him leaving for Freo.

I like how he has a go at u BBO!!! HA HA. Edited June 20, 2014 by DemonOX

In the words of the great Leo Sayer, this makes me feel like dancing !

[demoniac 1,295]

Fingers crossed that he is a one club player, or does not leave till he has a won a few flags. If he realises his potential he will be such an important piece of the premiership puzzle.

[pantaloons 2,019]

Glorious news. Two years makes perfect sense. He could be the best player in the comp by the end of 2017, or he could have snapped his back in half and never played a game - it offers a level of protection for both parties.

It'll be a great relief when he puts pen to paper. I was going to be needing a medical certificate for MFCSS if the contract negotiations lingered into next year.

And I'm twice your IQ!!!

3 years at his time of life is an eternity. He will be more entrenched in Melbourne and hopefully we will be more competitive and playing finals. Chances of being a one club player massively increased. Happy days!

[jane02 3,676]

I'm excited. I just kicked my husband in the shin after he smirked and said "he may never get on the park".

You should have kicked him in the balls. That would have - (a) Certainly shown your displeasure at his flippant comment. (b) Established your authority for all time.

pffft, how hard would that be?

If he keeps this up I might just do that. He should know better by now.

[monoccular 17,315]

The better part of this news is that the club obviously is super confident that his back problems will be over soon. No concerns of his doing a Paul Prymke.

[dee-luded 2,959]

... now we just need Captain 'Casey' to sign an extension

[Tony Tea 2,800]

The good news just keeps getting gooder.

[P-man 13,366]

Bloody brilliant news. No issue with the 500k. He'll be worth every cent of it.

[Macca 16,606]

Great investment and terrific news.

We will still need another big bodied forward who also has a bit of pace. Someone who is hard to match up on and together with Dawes and Hogan, would make our forward line quite formidable. We could almost rotate the 3 within the forward line with different roles (within games) to further make it hard for the opposition. I believe that might be an ideal scenario for Roos.

Either Watts or Frawley can be that 3rd big forward (At some stage Watts will put on a bit of muscle which in turn will help his overall game)

Haven't heard the latest on Hogan but it would be great to see him play at least a few games towards the end of the season. If he's fully healthy, let him loose.

Well, in theory that should be Fitzpatrick, but he seems to have stalled for the moment. Big second half of the year?

Watts can be the 3rd tall with pace, it's the perfect position for him.

I would have thought you want to tie him up for at least three.

Who knows then how Moonie would react to that?
