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.

 

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.


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

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.

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.

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

Can we drop this now?

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 :cool:

Needs a prosthesis does he?


Needs a prosthesis does he?

That is not even funny!

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 ...

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 by Moneider96


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

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.

 

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.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
