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 ...

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 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.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
