In the Hogan v Hawkins contest going on in my head, Hawkin's pretty quiet game tonight (1 goal, no contested marks midway through the fourth) means that the 'win' on both stats is within Jesse's reach.

I almost don't care about the game result on sunday, just get it to Hogan every chance there is and let him finish the season No. 1 for contested marks and top 10 for goal tally.

Then again, that's probably our best chance of winning, too!

Yes x 2!

Agreed.

I won't be tuning in for a win, just "measurements".


Answer to the last question:

Given our current list.......surely it'd be massively front-ended?

If Hogan finishes first for contested marks in the league, he'd be hard pressed to look past for the RS.

 

Don't think any list manager in the competition would call $1M a year for Hogan, and locking him in until his first year of FA eligibility, a poor move.

Finish the season, pay for a club trip to Bali with all his young teammates, send him home to see his family for a fortnight (just long enough for him to remember how naggy his parents are ;) ), then put the contract under his nose.

Oh, and pay for all his older siblings to move to Melbourne. That'll do it. :)


No mucking around with this kid, 7 year deal worth 10 mil.

I'd offer him 750 a year with bonuses for things like 50 goals and or assists combined, another for 75, 100. Contested marks. Etc etc

Wouldn't do just goals as it might make him a little selfish when close to the target.

Danny Frawley on MMM footy show today said that Hogan will be at Freo 2017. The rest howled him down but he was adamant. He has been in Perth all week and recons its a done deal. Can't see it myself .

he has been in perth last week and mentioned that Freo will be after him. Didnt exactly say he will be at freo but obviously being a perth boy they will target him as Pavlich will finishing soon. Garry shot him down saying he is contracted until the end of 2017 and wont go anywhere. This is why I hope freo can land a key forward this year so they can back off Jesse.

Does Frawley realize we are playing in Perth this week and he has family there? Who cares if hes been there all week LOL.. Spud really is a spud

where does that article that talks about stride and the dees talking about him signing up come from?

i would be ecstatic about that.

and $1m per season? puh-lease. post-2017, the landscape changes enormously - the solid dependable players could be earning that sort of cash, the (potential) superstars like hogan will command closer to $1.5-2m per season if the aflpa gets their way and player salaries are tied to 25% of all revenue in the game.

Playing finals next year is almost a prerequisite in keeping Hogan at MFC.

The Dockers will lose some big name veterans and begin to slide in 2017 thereby losing some appeal. The Eagles will be around the mark for the next 5 years based in their average list age and pose a bigger risk, although with Kennedy and Darling they are very healthy for power forwards.

MFC must show vast improvement next year to keep the Hulk.

I've mentioned a few times on here, Jesse gets along well with my best mate, we let him go visit his family basically whenever he wants, the club for all the things it does wrong is managing Jesse really well, and she said he has mentioned that to her, he's stoked with how we treat him, we have invested so much in the kid, and he rates the club and it's direction so absolutely nothing to stress about here, every time we play in perth he takes a few extra days over there.

But lets indulge the hyperthetical, Jesse asks for a trade to freo at the end of 2016, still contracted, we'd demand Nat Fyfe or Lachie Neale and their 2016 & 2017 first rounders


Frawley has cracked the sh**s because everyone from Melb told him his rellie was a spud chasing money all the time.

If he goes, he goes.

The club will trade hard.

Roos and Goodwin aren't wet between the ears.

I don't think he will go anywhere, at least before FA.

If he does, it will be the very final straw for many and I'm sure the club knows this. Will be doing their due diligence to hold onto him, obviously.

Yep, only if he's committed to the moral purpose of leading and dragging this club out of the mire.

If he's getting 1 mill a year to go half arzed, I don't want him there.

We better make sure he has a good sit-down with you before he signs then, and if you're not happy we'll tell him we don't want him

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
