I think he will sign the extension before the start of next season after bagging 60 goals this year and the team on the cusp of finals.......

I do not believe this is a club, more like a mental asylum.

It is now.

 

I suppose the good news in all this for the club is that Jesse's current contract no doubt sees him being one of the few Melbourne players over the past decade being paid less than he is worth. 

I'm very relaxed about the situation with Jesse.

We are in the box seat to re-sign him. We just need to perform on the field now - that is, and should be, the focus now.

Won't be so relaxed if we put in tres ordinaire performances week in, week out, and continually get belted.

Perhaps it's seriously misguided optimism, but I just can't see that happening anymore.

Two years to go on his contract. Will come out of contract as a restricted free agent. Freo have bigger fish to fry.

I'm in the boat of "I'll believe it when I see it". We've been sucked in before, and whilst I have some cautious optimism about this group, it's not too different from the one that got belted by Carlton, St Kilda and the Dogs, and got beaten by Essendon in the second half of last season. It may take a while for those sort of performances to be phased out entirely.


I want to enjoy the next two years with Jesse. If he goes I'll deal with the disappointment then.

You have the ability to compartmentalise.

So many supporters here not reading the tea leaves...

He doesn't want to live in Perth (yet), so dismiss the "go home factor"

He's "loyal" - a point his manager is keen to point out 

He only extended his last contract 18 months ago

He's only got one season under his belt

With two years still to run he and his advisers think another year to show his wares (and confirm that the Dees are on the right track) makes perfect sense

There are many players on the list (Harmes, Kent, JKH, Tom Mc, Petracca, etc.) that he is very close to and player relationships is one of the major reasons players don't go

He's well aware of his importance to the team and would feel a real responsibility to help make a difference - it might be different if he was 26 and had already given plenty of service 

I'm very relaxed about the situation. 

Can this post be pinned to the top somehow? The hand wringing by some in this thread is ridiculous.

No. Even if it were, it would backfire spectacularly.

The situation isn't anything like Howe last year, Jesse has been in talks for a while now and to the point numbers and years are a part of it, he's been shown a vision of the future, 

i am firmly of the belief, Jesse has an offer on the table and he and his manager simply want to see improvement before he signs away the next 5-7 years of his career, which is absolutely fair enough

just watch him train and you'll see he's totally invested in the club, he wants to be part of it.

Putting talks on hold is simply to quiet the speculation of Jesse signing in the very near future so he can make a calm and calculated decision in his own time, but i have no doubt he will sign on.

I just had a squizz at the Fremantle board regarding Jesse Hogan delaying contract negotiations. Majority of supporters seemed very realistic that there is a very slim to none chance Hogan will go back to WA and more likely than not sign back on with the Dees. Playing it down that he has put negotiations on hold as it was the right decision for all parties.

they have their hands full with Hooker and Macarthey 

 

I have NO problem with Jesse putting off talks for this season. 

Now i want The MFC to perform this season in such a way that Jesse WANTS TO STAY

We as a club must be attractive not just on paper

Performance on field will sign this deal. 


Another year down the track...another year of this list playing together, the fabric tightens. Success will be the ultimate thread that binds. 

The better we get the better we get at getting better and the getting of better players and keeping them becomes more automatic.

Go Dees

I get this !!!!!!!

 

I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

With still another year on top of this year, there is no reason for us to worry about it. I prefer him to be focusing on developing and becoming a dominant force in the AFL, the team needs to be pulling in one direction this year and that's up the ladder. 

No worries for me with him asking to resume talks at the end of the season, and we got an absolute pearler from Titus to chuckle at as well!

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
