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!

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
