The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

[PaulRB 6,120]

Interesting timing to the Hogan extension discussion from the MFC, its as if they are purposefully indicating Hogans extended tenure to help attract and entice other prospective players to come to the MFC...

Wonder who they are?

Unlikely.

Unlikely.

Actually Clint I reckon it's very likely and makes a lot of sense.

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

It's not OK to get a boner over Hogan. I hate reading garbage like that and normally delete it - left that one there to make a point.

Hey man, you can't tell my boner what to do.

TBH, I can't tell my boner what to do either.

That's a little homophobic. Of course, this isn't the forum for airing that sort of thing anyway.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I agree with you and PaulRB, this is exactly the type of shenanigans Roos would get up to

Jesse could you be a dear and stick your head out to the press and imply your are staying at the Dees please, it would help us out a lot

and it will too

Yep so do i. As does making it clear Melksham, and to a lesser degree Kennedy and Bugg, is keen to come to the dees at this early stage

We won't re-sign Hogan until well after the 2016 season.

It would be silly for him to sign on now when he could easily improve his worth with an even stronger season. It's a risk for him but this is all talk atm. They're opening discussions and that's it.

To be honest i can't see how he could improve his worth. If anything he could drop his worth if god forbid he copped a bad injury

I disagree praha, I think it better for him to go now (to sign now). He does have an injury cloud. If he did his back in the preseason or an early round, other clubs would be very careful re due diligence lest they end up with a Buddy Bomb. Get it done Dees.

Edit- For clarity added - to sign now.

Okay, it's fine to get one. It's not okay to post about it.

Can we drop this now?

I'd be very worried if he doesn't re-sign by the middle of next year. From what was reported in the article and comments from his manager on Trade Radio, there's nothing to suggest that Hogan is likely to extend his contract long term before the start of 2016. The meeting with Roos etc basically outlined our plans going forward. This suggests that Hogan is keen on success, and if we stagnate or regress in 2016, the jungle drums may start beating.

Let's. It's probably gone by now anyway.

Looks like an offer has been made to Jesse. Mahoney: "We’ve already met with Jesse and we’ve gone through our plan as a club and we’ve presented that to him and made an offer for an extension for Jesse." http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-10-11/we-want-hogan-longterm-mahoney

Not a gambler but would take a big bet that Jesse signs an extension beyond 2017!

A pre Xmas announcement would be nice...a present from Santa

Needs a prosthesis does he?

[Lucifers Hero 37,524]

That is not even funny!

[Ted Lasso 17,318]

He is going to take his time with this one, he'll need to be 100% sure he wants to be at the MFC to sign this extension, from what I've heard he'll be ( and rightly so ) one of the highest paid in the comp.

Hogan's answers re contract interesting though ... Inferred now footy is back for another season, all talks on hold ...

Mark Stevens ‏@Stevo7AFL 8m8 minutes ago

Strong indication from Hogan was there will be no deal either before or during 2016 season ... Just wants to play ...

In other words he wants to see if we r still going to be a basket case before he signs on for an extended period.

Honestly who can blame him.

I did think that a decision would be made over the summer so his comment if he actually said it is a bit contradictory.

Im not sure what he's inferring. Hogan has another two years on his contract. Nothing to worry about. Edited November 12, 2015 by Moneider96

[DemonLad5 1,642]

His contract doesn"t expire for 2 years. Don't blame him for wanting to wait & see where the team is headed. If we are moving well and we are where we should be then he'll resign. He wants success and loves Melbourne. The city and the team. The only reason he would leave is for poor on field performances. Not worried at all

[DemonLad5 1,642]

The idea of signing him long term with 2 years left on his contract when we only win 7 games was 1000 to 1

exact same reaction I had.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Not surprised by his decision to focus on footy.

It does, however, allow the media to speculate about it ad nauseum, and for posters on here to take off their jocks so everyone can sh*t in them about the situation. Plenty on here will have their mental health tested by this.

This is what worries me the most.
