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...

    Same thing.

    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.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
