If we were to sign him up to an extension at the end of the year as it was alluded to in the HUN article, well, I think I would shed tears of joy, excitement and relief.

    Tom Pretoro from Jesse's management company was just interviewed on SEN and said they will sit down with the Dees during the summer to discuss his contract.

    He went on to say that 'Jesse will be part of Melbourne's future for a long time to come.'

    Almost form the horse's mouth!

    Lets just hope his manager isn't full of horse shite like the other managers generally are.

    Dear Melbourne, please give him whatever he wants.... money, cars, houses, prostitutes, the world. Just give it to him, lock him away for 20 years and lets all move on.

    No he didn't, why twist what he said?!

    He said "Jesse is a huge part of Melbourne's future", which is very different.

    I wish he'd said what you claimed but it's not true. People find strange ways to help them sleep at night...

    Quite different. Saying he is a big part of the future could mean anything really... 'the future' is contained within his current contract.

    Saying that he will be at the club for a long time to come is another thing altogether and insinuates that he'll be signing a long term contract.

    Anyway, Paul said to look for the positives, so I'm taking this to mean he'll be signing a 7 year extension.

    It's not at all, never did he say anything remotely as strong as "Jesse will be a part of Melbourne's future for a long time to come".

    Ugh great. That is completely different and stating the damn obvious

    I suppose sitting down with us is a good start.

    Maybe I'm just choosing to see it that way. ;)

    I don't blame you mate we all have our different coping mechanisms as Melbourne supporters!

    Just thought I'd report what was actually said rather than what was said in all our dreams.

    I went back and listened to the SEN recording and to some extent 'Members Wing' is correct but it needs to be put in full context of the discussion:-

    The Ox asked Petroro: whether they are negotiating with Melbourne to get a long extension or a multi year contract...for Jesse? Petroro's (not quite verbatim) response was: ...we will sit down over the summer and start a discussion...Jesse is really happy in Melbourne...when the time is right both parties will sit down and start to look towards Jesse's future...but he is obviously a huge part of Melbourne's future.

    So in the context of the question, the response to me meant the next contract will keep Jesse with us 'for a long time to come' but to be fair Petroro didn't use those words. You can form your own view at the 12 min mark: http://www.sen.com.au/programs/the-run-home

    There seemed little doubt that there will be a contract extension negotiated over the summer.

    Jesse is contracted till 2017 so even a 'short' extension eg 3 years will keep Jesse a Demon till 2020.

    That's a long time to me and I would be very happy with that sort of contract extension.

    He also confirmed he wasn't personally looking after Hogan.

    Despite the incorrect reporting of what was actually said, and I agree the lily was gilded, I'd be very surprised if Hogan doesn't extend over summer.

    It's the contract after that will be telling.

    If the club can't sort it self out by 2020 and win a flag I couldn't care less if Hogan left in 2021..

    meh, i stopped caring about what Garry thinks/says years ago when he rolled into the club with designer sunnies on and lead the charge with a contingent of media following him, to "save us."

    Albeit it, i do agree with him on this point.

    I'll give you 50-1 we don't win a flag by 2020, that is madness

    Don't think Hogan will win it but I can imagine him on stage receiving it.

    Fixing his hair then pointing to the trophy and saying "is that it?"

    Some of those marks today were just unfair.

    44 goals in his debut season and a presence that just about every other forward can only ever dream of. And hes only 20.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
