Hoges probably just found out that his back is completely rooted and couldn't sign quick enough

No wonder it is stuffed, having to carry the weight of our expectations on his shoulders.

Might be filming his retirement from afl football!

Sorry to burst your bubble with this positive news, old dee.

Must be doing your head in?

Absolutely sensational news, and further proof that the tide at the club is slowly changing for the better. Tommy Mac is next...

100%.. he said that he wanted to know what direction the club was heading in,, well James, mate, a young kid who hasn't played a game and has world at his feet wants to stay..

It's official... tweeted afew minutes ago by the MFC. Signed on until the end of season 2017.

Im cool either way with the signing of JH.

I found it interesting what dunstall and healy said about him the other night.

It sort of renewed my interest in the current welfare of JH.

Glad hes onboard.

Great news!!! Let all the hulkamaniacs rejoice!!!

An outstanding commitment by Jesse .............. an outstanding investment by the Melbourne Football Club. Our star is most definitely on the rise, in every sense of the word.

Edit: I spelled his name wrong. Better not do that on Demonland!

Just got off the phone to my best mate who has spoken to Jesse today, she said you can't wipe the smile off his face, absolutely stoked he is staying another couple of years

Can confirm there has been really strong interest from not just west coast and Freo but other clubs as well but Jesse knows how much we have invested in him and he's got some really good mates here in Jack viney Jimmy toumpas and Dean Kent

He's in for a significant pay rise but I wasn't told an exact figure and also Jesse is hoping to play against the lions but the club may make himwait an extra week, he's really working hard to get back asap

Small joke there Macca.

Did not pick up on it?

Dry humour is a dying art it would seem

Thanks Jazza

He really loves Melbourne hey

Well done Jesse and GO DEMONS

I was impressed when Dunstall said Hogan was impressive. If he thinks that there is def something there.

You little Ripper - no need to rush him back ..... but wouldn't it be great if he plays against Lions, WC,GWS and North !! 3 or 4 wins at the tail end of this season would invigorate the whole football department to make bigger in roads and attack the preseason with some real gusto and optimism!!

Have to love the dream

Same,after all the normal Bs we hear from experts,every now and then you know when Dunstall is serious.

This was one of those times.

Speaks well on camera and certainly comes across as being quite mature and confident for a young fella. Great stuff!

Dunstall is a really good footy man - articulate and has a brain

just quietly....

am pretty stoked

The club gets so many slaps in the face and heres a young lad, obviously talented who WANTS to be part of the resurgence.

Attitude is a lot in anything and that sort of outlook says a lot about where we're heading.

and Im still looking forward to his first game !!

We all said similar things when Trengove re-signed, look how that turned out !
