Jesse's on $500k next year. Not bad for 21. Bet Dawes was nowhere near that at his age & if Jesse really plays his cards right he could very well see $1.5m+ish in a few years given the way contracts for key forwards is going.

Man I hope he reaches his full potential at MFC!!

    No, you do the leg work and tell me why he would not.

    Cause we have been [censored] for 7 years, and have rebuilt 3 or 4 time snow with similar results: nothing. We are sitting on 4 wins but i'm not sure where the next ones will come from. Looking at Brisbane they were impressive against Sydney, Saints weren't bad either. We have some good young kids coming along to support him but they wont develop if we don't develop them properly, which has been a weakness of ours for a long while.

    He lives in Perth, loves Perth as we have to send him home every so often so he doesn't get homesick. The two sides in WA are successful in the sense they are able to build/re-build without too much fuss and consistently push for finals. You get (roughly) a 10 year period of AFL footy and that's it, why waste it sticking around at a club like us?

    There, i had my go, now tell me why he would stay as opposed to joining Freo or West Coast?

    A bit of perspective on Hogans game.

    Same number of disposals as Daniher who was BOG

    2nd most marks on ground

    2nd most contested marks on ground

    3rd most inside 50 on ground.

    What I love about him is that he works his way up the ground in an effort to genuinely help the team. It's what Dawes should be doing, not Hogan. Pedersen is a big loss because he normally filled that role. Hogan carries on like a kid and has for the past two weeks, but the delivery forward has been nothing short of deplorable. He seriously looks like he hates playing for us right now. His teammates don't give him a chance. At least he tries to work his way into the game. Something Howe doesn't do, and something Dawes tries to do but is very, very limited as a player.

    What was needed was for three forwards to lead in three directions to draw the opposition and give the mids and backs some options to kick to. This is basic footy used very effectively by Norm Smith all those years ago!

    I couldn't agree more.. Dawes did the same thing saturday too..

    Howe gave us peanuts on the lead front and what annoyed me more was as soom as any kick dropped short to Howe he gave a no contest..

    500k is not what Jesse is on next year. It is around the 375k -450 max. Fact

    The kid is in his first year

    Lets give him a chance.

    He was not the reason we lost.

    That joy belongs to players who have been a round for way longer and make his job very hard at times.

    This clearly isn't factual information.

    75k range is a big gap for a "fact" ash. care to expand on that?

    HOGAN DAWES PEDERSEN combo

    all 3 have played together once for a loss & our equal lowest score.

    2 of 3 have combined for 2 wins 9 losses.

    Hogan & Dawes have played solo once each, both resulted in wins & our 2 highest scores for the year.

    Definitely food for thought isn't it.

    If we played about 500 games a year these stats, in the absence of other information, might really mean something rather than just provide entertaining conjectures.

    Riewoldts roughhead et al the new model super forward can work up the ground to be an extra in defence and then on the turnover through hard running be an option in the forward line

    This is the next challenge for the young man

    I think there are enough reasons already. Probably won't happen though.

    I'd try Dawes in the ruck more often. He clogs up the forward line. Hogan, Howe and Garlett would be enough firepower for any team. I think we keep waiting for Dawes to provide that spark but he just isn't that type of player.

    He's like a Jamar-Watts-Dunn hybrid lol

    Id like Howe in the square. Dawes running from the square and making space on the 50 metre line, Hogan running the other angle from Dawes. Garlett behind DAwes Hogan in front of Howe. Mids Watts Brayshaw etc runing in front of and through Hogan and Dawes pack.

    Rotation around the forward line by those three keys to keep churning the opposition and providing constant alternative options

    The three must know where each is going and not clog up but rather separate to create space.

    The mids flankers and wings must also churn with two in deep two in mid and two covering back

    Its a new tactic THE CHURN

    IMO until Hogan consistently kicks goals from 45m to 50m out, he should play out of the square (FF) and lead to the ball carrier.

    That's not a criticism just a development thing.

  • Quote

    Another match-winning performance!

    I was watching on the TV, but his second goal looked he was kicking from 50m and it cleared the fence. So while LONG kicking is not his strength, he does have it in him.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
