Yeah me too, but I do worry about these new big deals.... look at Franklin. Since he was on the real big money whats he done?? Then again theres no other option I guess.

The thing that I can see with Jesse is that he's driven to be the best and absolutely hates losing. Paying him big money on a lengthy contract wouldn't change this.

He was interviewed at the Heartland Training session at Toorak Park, no idea what he said  BUT highlight of the day for my 2 little boys... Jesse walked passed us on the way home and said by

The club is very confident that: Hogan will re-sign to a long term contract this calendar year. Despite reports to the contrary discussions with his manager are on-going and positive.  We got c

Yes i think your probably right with this kid. Just saying many millions of dollars can be distracting for a young lad.

Ask him how much he wants to earn over his football career. Then simply fill in the number of years.

I'm guessing a young man would like $10million

On a one club entire career basis that would be a bargain.

Front and rear end the contract and away we go.

What are you suggesting, just let someone else give him the money so they can deal with the distracted superstar?

No, if youd read my earlier post i said its not like we have a choice....

He would be watching the bullies delivering to their forwards and thinking, I would have 80 goals this year if I was at that club.

If we don't improve by a massive margins next year, he will walk the year after to a better club.

Do we have to hear this after every bad loss? It's actually disrespectful to Hogan.

It's my opinion, and I truly believe he will leave the club eventually.

Wether that is 2, 5, 8 years I'm not sure. But I don't have faith he will be a one club player.

good. now you've stated your opinion (and i have noted it), can you avoid repeating it at every opportunity?

So why doesn't the same ridiculous fear mongering apply to Gus Brayshaw?

He is a mid from vic, won't get near the same amount of money thrown at him by other clubs especially those from his home state.

In this day and age he could get enormous amounts thrown at him regardless.

The point is, you're spending too much time despairing over losing Hogan. He is contracted to us at the moment, he puts in more effort than most on game day and he clearly seems to love playing with his mates. What will be, will be but I think he'll be with the MFC for a long time and I expect the club will do what they need to to ensure that this happens. We are improving and every time I've ever heard him speak, he indicates that he is very passionate and very keen to spearhead this improvement and make the club great again.

Smokey for future captain?

What did Cripps do this week? Hoges would have helped his chances of Rising Star with 3 goals in a rubbish team this week

Cripps was the leading disposal winner for his team with 25.... Hardly going to hurt his chances with that performance...

When asked what he thought about the rising star award and his competition for the award.

"Sheed and esp. Cripps is going really well. Getting over 35 last week, mid 20's in the last month....(hesitates)... actually haven't really paid attention and just trying to improve himself"

He is tracking everyone and wants to be better then everyone.

This was interesting:

http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne/shows/rush-hour-with-james-brayshaw-and-billy-brownless/podcasts/

If you're OK to download the 53MB and get to the Jesse interview, his somewhat equivocal (look it up?) response to the "How do you like living in Melbourne?" question was where the worry lies for me.

Meanwhile, though, it's great to have him with us - with a bunch of other good stuff (albeit spasmodically!), it makes watching/following the Dees a little bit better than it has been in recent years!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
