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!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
