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.

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourneā€™s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Ā As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nationā€™s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.Ā

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
