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

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
