The Rising Star Thread - Congratulations Jesse Hogan!

[H_T 3,049]

Offer him a 7 year, $6 million contract ASAP

Yep. Need the sleep...

They just reported on sunrise that Jesse Hogan has declared he wants to be a one club player.

Not sure this will help me sleep. Players have said this before...replace "wants" with "will" .....and....so.....SIGN HIM!

Otherwise....

[DistrACTION Jackson 9,229]

I've read a lot of people thinking Cripps was robbed but if we break it down into the position they each play and some of the key factors Hogan wins easily.

Cripps:

Average possessions: ranked 59th in the competition

Contested possessions: ranked 8th in the competition

Tackles: ranked 62nd in the competition

Clearances: ranked 13th in the competition

Hogan:

Marks: ranked 24th in the competition

Contested marks: ranked 3rd in the competition

Goals: ranked 14th in the competition

Marks inside 50: ranked 9th in the competition

Roos said it best in that nobody has ever done what Hogan has done, what more do people want FFS

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Hogan's main aim for the season was to not be dropped. I'm a "very competitive man" and I was determined to "not be dropped".

Jack Watts drops himself.

Hogan would look at a player like that with contempt no doubt.

[H_T 3,049]

Roos said it best in that nobody has ever done what Hogan has done, what more do people want FFS

Roos said it best when he stated, "Why is there even a debate? There shouldn't be a debate"

9/10 supports this.

If Hogan agrees to a deal like $7m over 7 years (from 2018) and the cap rises the way it has been with a commensurate bump from the new TV deal from 2017 - he will not be getting as much as you think...

$1m in 2015 is 10% of the cap. But with the jump in 2017 and the annual increase - which is about ~$400k historically - we will see a lot of money flood to the best players.

$1m in 2018 might be ~7.1% if the cap rises to ~$14m for the first year of his new deal.

And $1m in 2024, the last year of this proposed deal, might be ~5% if the cap is ~$20m. I think that is a conservative number.

I know it sounds a great deal for a young player but his agent wouldn't be an idiot - he will see this new landscape and get the best deal for his client. And that will mean I think an extension to the end of the TV deal at over a million a year.

Worth every penny by the way...

Yep I have no problem with a player of his calibre squeezing the best deals for himself over his career. Every other club would kill for Jesse's signature. Thank god he's our asset!

Asset alright. Massive!

A player many other young players (even mature players coming out of contract - free agency) around the football industry would look at, and think, Melbourne is a good destination club.

May the positive talk and goodvibes continue...

Jesse's face smiles down at me in Demon jumper as I log into NAB Banking.

[Gorgoroth 13,019]

Poor form by the papers not having a pull out poster. Every one at work needs to see this on a daily basis.

[Little Richard 6,265]

The Carlton supporting oaf at work is trying to argue that Cripps is a better player and Hogan is a 'cheat'.

Pathetic, really.

[The Stigga 1,094]

Not much confidence he will stay past 2017.

Seems to miss his home in Scarborugh quite a bit.

just remind him that carlscum would be an expert in knowing how to cheat

[Guest]

Bryce Gibbs having a sook on twitter about the rising star. LOL

Jesse would eat this softcck alive.

Hope Jesse read this.

Carlscum fans are saying "Use this Crippa" as if somehow losing was a personal insult, and it'll spur him to be a better player in the long run.

Well, by that logic, I hope Jesse 'uses' this tweet as a means of spurring him to send Gibbs to an early retirement when we play them next year....

A man can dream.

[What 18,810]

Bryce Gibbs is a [censored]. Who gives a [censored] what he thinks

[Gorgoroth 13,019]

Gibbs is jealous. Both the players have already surpassed Gibbs career in their first year.

F!og of the highest order.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

If cripps had won and <insert senior melbourne player> had made a tweet like that you'd all be saying was a legend he is for standing up for the truth and supporting his mate and blahblahblah

[Guest]

By the way, I always laugh when Carlton supporters call Jack Watts soft.

Very short memories.

What a crock of shite.

That's a Bryce Gibbs comment, choc full of floggyness!

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

so because a player in your team once squibbed a contest you are never allowed to comment on the fact that Jack Watts is indeed soft

makes sense

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

so you're suggesting you'd be calling Nathan Jones a [censored] if he tweeted that

you're a liar

Here comes the fun police..

Once?

Extracting the urine I see. Fair enough, gave me a chuckle.

And Jones isn't a petulant child, so I doubt we'd ever see him tweet something of a similar nature.
