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 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

    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!

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
