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.

There's still 2 yrs to go on his contract. It's gunna be a long 2 yrs if this shitz is starting now.

This thread will be at 1000 pages by the end of the 2 yrs!

    Hogan said on Foxtel that signing is an option but he has plenty of time.

    If he was out of contract next year I would be concerned, but he still has 2 years FFS.

    His contract status is a non issue right now.

    He will kick 70 goals this season and in summer of 2016 he will be sign at 1.5 mil per year for many years. With the Dees of course.

    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? :)

    We have to own the city of Melbourne and the club made a great job of the launch yesterday.

    Similarly we have to make melbourne a destination so that Jesse and others want to stay and gun players from other clubs will want to come to us. The reality is we haven't been able to attract the Dangerfield's of the comp to Melbourne. Success, a high profile in melbourne and and a great group of core home-grown talent might get us there.

    Its no 5 minute fix but like most things PJ does it is a long term sound strategy being built piece by piece. People ridiculed Glen Bartlett with his New York Yankees talk but the idea is the right one. We owned the town yesterday and we need to do it on a more consistent basis. We need to own it during footy season and there is no quick fix.

    There has been a shift in the narrative.

    A month ago indications were strong from Jesse and the club of an extension happening over summer.

    Now it seems that won't happen.

    The words 'contract on hold', or 'wait and see' are like a stick of dynamite to supporters and the press.

    Jesse has every right to wait.

    We just need to enjoy him and be patient.

    Nonetheless, the shift in the narrative is the worrying bit.

    The narrative hasn't changed. There was never a "strong" indication that Jesse would sign an extension. Rather, the narrative was that we've opened up discussions with him about the possibility of an extension. One step at a time my friend.

    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 ...

    I'm ok with this, given he signed an extension 12 months ago. Let him play next year and address it later next season.

    Yep, sit down at seasons end and talk then.

    Otherwise it looks like we are too desperate. If I was him, I wouldn't sign now.

    My info on this is that Jesse's manager is doing his job, well aware big offers are going to come, wants jesse to put in another really good year and then squeeze out the best possible deal for his client, could sign for 5 years at a million right now and then find out 12 months later it might have been 8 years at 1.5 when the MFC were a bit more worried.

    all indications seem to be that he'll stay with us, but he still has 2 years to run and an extension isn't a priority.

    He's looking at potential forward partners from the draft, headlining the clubs re-branding, very much becoming the face of the club, you don't do all of those things if you aren't interested in hanging around.

    The way I read Concentrating on footy to hold on contract talks is, Im going to practice my goal kick all preseason and kick 60 goals next season which will give me an extra $500,000 per year on my price tag.

    Smart move.

    I think even suggesting talking about a contract extension with 2 year left on his existing one This early in his career says we are desperate to keep him.

    We have basically given him the right to demand a blank check at the end of next season.

    Don't know if this was the smartest move by the club, just hope his manager doesn't play hard ball now and we pay way over for him.

    Jesse will be a once in a generation player so I'm pretty sure we will give him what ever he wants to keep him at Melbourne.

    We do need to own Melbourne City, how much would it cost the club to set up a coffee van in fed squad and give out free coffees and waters with the logo on it every Home game at the MCG?

    We need something like that to make it our city!!

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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?
