The current collective bargaining agreement expires in October - with the new tv deal you'd expect the AFLPA to negotiate a better dealĀ for the players. It would be stupid for any player who doesn't have to, to negotiate new deals under current arrangements, and it wouldn't be shocking if the PA Ā have requested that members with two or more years remainingĀ hold off extension talks till the end of the year.Ā

    You'd think so but from what we have seen during the Ess saga they may negotiate a drop is player wages...

    I was actually searching for a gif of lemmings going off a cliff, but found that one to be more appropriate. I think it's from a Spanish tv show.

    One of the funniest Ā gifs Ive seen.. Thanks

    Excellent, now perhaps this thread wont get to 1000 pages due to mass hysteria.

    Still two years to go (potentially). This thread could break the interwebs.

    Two years in football is a long time, he may do a leg or blow a head gasket.

    I think it is a toss up between security and potential .....Sign now for 5 years and if you do a knee or other injury or lack of fitness or form you still get your money

    If you have the same injuries or lack of form in the last year of your contract your value will drop.

    Just thinking out loud.

    I have a recollection of a story my father told me about Dame Nellie Melba.

    In her contract it stated that she would be the highest paid female singer in the world. So regardless of what went on, if another singer received a pay rise then hers automatically went up. Perhaps a similar offer to Hogan. Ā Not the female singer bit!

    I think this is a wise move by his manager and I am not worried yet. If next year they say they want to wait till the end if the season then I will worry.

    In just one completed season there isn't a player Melbourne fans have ever loved more....I can't image how much it's gonna hurt if he leaves in his absolute prime.

    Agreed!

    If anyone is still feeling nervous may this be reassuring:Ā  "Hogan hasnā€™t seen many victories in his three years at the club, but if it can continue on its current trajectory then heā€™ll sign for life....He wants to see the club achieve success as much as the most passionate Demons fan and is heavily invested in making that happen...Itā€™s hard to see him walk out on the Demons just as they, including best mate James Harmes, are about make a return to finals for the first time in more than a decade".

    That is fairly strong!Ā  And among the tea leave reading by all the journos on this, there is zero indication that he may leave.Ā 

    It is actually good to be dealing with a sensible player manager.Ā  Remember the mess the respective manager's of Scully, Clarke and Howe made of negotiations and the merry dance they played with the club.Ā  This is different, the delay seems genuine and not gaming by the manager.Ā

    The way I'm reading it is this - sign James Harmes to a 10 year contract and Jesse will follow suit. Ā 

    C'mon Peter, you know what to do...:pj:

    This pretty much Somes up my thoughts! We win more games and make good progress.. He stays!

    Remember Pavlich was the same.. Was from SA and early days the crowd went after him.. He stayed at Fremantle..

    I just hope we continue to screw Fremantle.. Thanks for Jeff White &Ā Jeff Farmer!!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
