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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
