yes if t was 5 years i might still discuss it, would you still whinge about it being discussed ?

I'm not sure "whinge" is the right word. 

Would I look down my nose at you ?  Of course.  Life has so many things to ponder and that wouldn't be one of them.

of course not, why would one go to a football discussion website to discuss Jesse Hogan, how silly of us

To discuss whether he might stay or leave after the 5 years left on his contract ?

I think you'd be in a room by yourself.

 

 

Mentioned in the Sun today, that MFC and Hogan's Manager, are to meet to discuss an extension to his contract.

Hopefully his contract can be extended by 5 years and that will be one distraction removed.

how about you just not go around telling other people what they can/cannot talk about unless it's in an acceptable timeframe determined by you

I just highlighted the banality.

ok then from now on i will keep an eye out on your posts and be sure to inform you politely that the topic you are discussing is, IMO, banal. I hope you don't find that annoying

Please yourself.

I suspect it's time to put you on ignore, like Stu.

That's awesome news if true.

Perhaps a 4 year extension that would take him to free agency eligibility??

I'd prefer a 100 year contract that would take him through to his next lifetime.

They sell it alright but it's about double the cost.


Not sure that would make much of a difference for Hogan, considering the coin he'll be on...

He would be mad not to renegotiate his contract. At the moment he is stuck, for the next two seasons, on the type of money offered to a player who may become be one of the power forwards of the competition. Now he could be on the money offered to a player who you know will be one of the power forwards of the comp.

It is just a question as to how many more years he will sign on for the opportunity to upgrade. My guess is an extra two years which will take him out to 2019.

oh no please don't


Obviously I, like everyone else, would love to see Jesse locked down for the long term.

However I can't for the life of me see the sense in him signing a 10 year deal.  How could Jesse, his manager or the MFC have any idea what sort of money players will be on in ten years time.  That'd be two broadcast deals from now when it's not inconceivable that player payments would be significantly higher than they are now.  Big money in 2016 won't be big money in 2024.

Would that encompass father/son and grandfather/son?

As the AFL strives for multiculturalism and inclusiveness, I predict it'll fall under the soon-to-be-revealed Religious Reincarnation Rule

If he turn out as good as I think he will I think we also need a husband/wife, uncle/nephew and an any blood relative ( or acquaintance) clause in the contract.

We wouldn't have got Weidemann on this basis...

Pay to read.. F Me!

I managed to get it up and read in full somehow. Cant now...  :/

Story was mainly about Frost moving forward, but there was a couple of paragraphs at the end that said what Redleg mentioned earlier.

Quotes I remember...

- Hogan and his manager in preliminary discussions

- Would be looking at $700,000+ per season which would make him one of highest paid players for his age in the game.

 

Edited by JTR

Doesn't sound like a long-term contract to me.

If we're offering him $700K we're lunatics. Don't turn around and [censored] when his manager puts talks off for the season.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
