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 is at the club for the next 48 games guaranteed - there is no rush. The next deal can be the huge one.

shouldn't that be the next 54 games? :rolleyes:

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

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

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.

$2mill

$1mill

$700kl

$700k

$600k

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?

Nope, just like a ar$ehole I'm always behind you to spout shite! :)

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?

I'm petrified that I'm finally seeing a forward show as much promise as the Ox and I can't help but think/feel he will up and leave us.

I'll try and stop now.

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...

The thing that I can see with Jesse is that he's driven to be the best

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.

Poor choice of avatar, fella.

Seriously.

 

This was interesting:

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!

TRB - I'm not okay with 53mb. Can you please summarise for us? Your thoughts of course.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
