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.

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

Where did I tell you what you could or couldn't discuss ?

I just highlighted the banality.

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.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
