who is currently the highest paid player and what does he get? anyone?

Jones.  My guess is an average of $750k p.a. annual amount over/under that according to front or back end loading. 

Lots of things would make his total contract.  My guess contract is front loaded to leave salary cap for young talent as Jones gets to end of his contract in 2019

     Probably Dawes :S I'd say $650-$700k.

    I thought it was stated that Dawes signed on about $500k per year.

    That will be the extra $500k they need per year, to get Jesse signed.

    A bit of man love fun between Hoges and Harmesy. 

    Seriously though it does appear they are pretty tight mates. I think it was Harmes first goal last season that Jesse was super pleased and really got around him.

    not a single person said it at the time though

    'oh these skinny non-competitors are going to get us nowhere'

    I know I am being blatantly negative but it is it that hard to look 5 years down the track and see people lamenting 'all these tough competitors with no skills or brains' or whatever

    point is that hindsight is crazy accurate, presentsight not so much

    I'm more in the camp that we had shyzen d'ment rather than bad drafting. All of the blokes in that picture would have gone very close to the picks we took them at, and at other clubs probably would have all been decent players.

    My McLean and Sylvia post to my mind highlights what you say - it was never about too skinny or afl ready bodies..

    I remember the conversation around these two at the time - we need "grunt", more "afl ready" footballers - look how that turned out. I am not sure that all the players in the picture would have turned out good players. But seriously, the odds that none of them have reached dizzying heights is not all due to wrong picks. I am absolutely in the development camp and compounding the problem of putting young talent into our cesspool of club ( as it was then).

    It scares the bejeesus outta me to think about how pumped I was the first time I saw it, I was like 'there it is, our premiership core'

    bloody hell I am cringing

    history had better not repeat

    They would've formed a great core had the MFC entered a choir in the Sandringham Eisteddfod ...

    Geez we dodged a bullet in not being able to retain Scully on a massive contract.

    Think we offered him $700k or so for a long time, yet he still walked.

    And we got Jesse as a result.

    That is a priceless bit of lovin going on.  Even James's mum gets involved.

    To anybody who thinks we will eventually lose Jesse back to WA, he really likes Melbourne, didn't think much of Perth growing up, has settled well into the Melbourne lifestyle, especially the live music and coffee culture...has established really good friendships with JKH, James Harmes and Petracca....has total respect for one Nathan Jones and wants to give him the success he craves.........and wants to payback the club for the way they have looked after him during his back issues...don't think the money would be an issue with him....just got the feeling back in my arm after shaking hands with him and wishing him Happy Birthday on Friday

    Did you offer him a pen so he can sign his new contract?

    Enjoy that you can provide info from the mouths of some of our players.

    But when you say something like 'he didn't think much of Perth growing up' I'm not sure who's words they are..

    There are countless interviews in which he makes it no mystery to anyone how he feels about Perth/his home. He loves it.

    That's not to say he dislikes Melbourne. But you're certainly painting a different picture by saying what you have.

    He loves Perth, coz his family is there, he actually finds the environment compared to Melbourne boring, (from quite a few sources), I know for a fact he is a big fan of the coffee culture here, live in same area and know which ones he likes to frequent

    Which I find a little amusing to be honest.

    When did he leave Perth? He was a 17 year old and has spent the last 3 to 4 years in Melbourne.

    Sure he's had opportunities to experience Perth as an adult but not in the same way as Melbourne.

    Perth has heaps to do and a much nicer climate to do it in.

    Jesse no doubt still loves being back at home. You only have to look at his instagram account during his time off that he does enjoy the company of his mates socializing. I still thinl one day eventually he will return home.

    Perth is really much better place then Melbourne personally. Great surfing beaches which is Hogan's number 1 hobby.

    It is all anecdotal, so who knows the correct answer, still think he will be here for a good few years, don't think the pull is strong

    Hey McQueen, if you ever have a chance to speak to him, there's no need to bring any of this up. Focus on Perth's bad features if you feel the need to talk about the place.

    He might, but not as a footballer.

    Two four hour flights every second weekend for a big bloke with a back to manage is hardly conducive to a football career.  Especially when you didn't debut until you were 20.

    I'm a born and raised Victorian but love it over here. That said I still feel the pull of home every so often.

    Jesse is a competitor and wants a flag. In the grand scheme of things I truly believe we have a better core of youngsters to help him achieve that compared to Freo. I reckon they'll really slide this year.

    Actually when they are off duty, I leave them alone apart from saying hello, was sitting in one of the locals cafes and so was Jesse and a guy (obviously a Demon supporter) kept peering over the top of his newspaper at him, was like watching a poor 50's spy film, myself and my lady thought it was hilarious not sure Jesse thought that though

    Had the shyte kicked out of me in Northbridge about 20 years ago. The nightlife scene is a difficult one to enjoy thanks to the violence over here. There's much nicer places to go to nowadays that are very family friendly.

    Let's see how Freo go.

    • 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?
