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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistĀ  Itā€™s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckmanā€™s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demonsā€™ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
