    He may not have to. I'm sure WC would pay whatever it takes to get him and there is avery strong argument to say WC are much closer to a flag than Freo playing in a winning GF team is one of Fyfe's key motivations.

    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.......

    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. 

    I'm not as relaxed as you and you know my reasons.

    I point to other players who were chased by opposition clubs - apart from Cloke, there was no hesitation to go elsewhere.

    Cripps - signs again

    Sidebottom - ready to commit

    Pavlich - has resisted huge offers from both Port and the Crows for many years

    Many, many more I've missed....

    Why can't Hogan (who has an ability to speak, I hope) come out and say he's going to sign, but not until after a season of footy behind him?

    Why create knots in the underpants?

    Pretty important decision, i reckon he is well within his rights to not be certain.

    I personally would not sign two years out, I think he is doing the right thing.

    Sure, I'd be happier if he did, but the fact his manager has stayed he won't break contract either is a sign that he isn't thinking of going right now.

    I think he will re-sign with us early next year for three years, after that he may go back home.

    scully said as much the year he left. words mean nothing

    Hogan cant predict the future so doesnt want to say something he might regret even if he is 99% sure.  fair enough i reckon

    I have been reading this thread throughout without contributing, but I feel the need to add my two-bobs-worth (apologies to young folk who have NFI what that expression means).

    Hogan has already extended his contract. He will be an MFC player for at least two more seasons in that time we will be inside the top eight.... IF we continue to improve at the rate we improved in 2015. I keep hearing that Hogan will stay if the team shows that sort of improvement (Finalists!)... that is where I would like to make an important observation/modification... Its not just about the team improving/imposing itself/increasing output ... the upward trend is very dependent on Hogan improving/imposing himself/increasing output. If Hogan kicks 65 goals this season we are going to be in the fight for the top eight at the business end. If he kicks 80 goals in 2017 we will be close to top four. If that happens Hogan will be saying "Where do I sign?". So the future for Hogan at the MFC is very much in Hogan's capable hands. If he doesn't rise to those levels the Team won't rise to those levels. To summarise... If Hogan is as good as we all think the future takes care of itself! Relax fellow Demons, sit back, belt up and enjoy the ride.

    He's not responsible for "the knots in your underpants".  You are. 

    As a sign of good faith Hogan extended 18 months ago, but seemingly that's not good enough for you.

    FFS, the guy has 2 seasons left on his contract and he's saying I'll negotiate at the end of this year.  Bloody reasonable if you ask me.

    Not sure if this link has been posted before.

    Roos confirming the club also thought it best to postpone talks until end of season.

    Interesting that apparently 'others' out of contract are awaiting Hogan extending before resigning... McDonald and...?

    Because if Hogan said this his negotiating power is reduced to zero.  By saying 'I'm gonna sign on no matter what' he goes from potentially 1 million a year to a small fraction of that.  

    To negotiate a suitable long term contract, threre has to be an element of danger there- in this case, pay me what I'm worth on the market or I'll leave.

    Disappointed to hear The Ox say that Hogan probably wont be as good as Jonathan Brown or Nick Riewoldt.

    He's about the only person I've ever heard say that Hoges cant get to those heights. Most people would say hes a certainty to get to that level or better barring major injury.

    That's beyond absurd. You really think that any sporting club would willingly screw a star player who shows good faith? Hogan will always have the negotiating power, even if he verbally commits.

    And anyone who believes the Roos line of " the club also thought it best to postpone talks until end of season " are either gullible or stupid. The club would be doing cartwheels if Hogan re-signed this week or even mid year.

    Yeah, it's a bizarre claim from Schwarz. Hogan is frankly stellar and while i share the notion that 1.5m a year starts to look unbalancing on the list, if there's any player worth it it is Hogan.

    But Hogan is also taking a risk... what if by halfway through this season Weidemann has cleared his injury legacy, developed the fitness and is out and about providing a credible alternative? Would knock 250k off Hogan's maximum value. :)

    Of course, I think really Hogan would just be delighted to have a strong partner up forward and the two of them could settle into becoming the game's best combo.

    Remember the quotes pre-draft; "When Weideman went under the knife he was rated a top-three prospect on the rise — and little has changed."

    Well JB and NR are bona fide one club champions. Maybe there is something cryptic in the Ox's comment?

    No, it's not good enough for me for him to negotiate at the end of the year - start talks now.

    Anyhoo, I'm done.

    Here's to a successful 2016.

    Players don't undertake the negotiation, managers do; if it was simply a matter of clubs giving out fantastic contracts, then threre'd be no need for managers or negotiation.

    And yes, if a club can sign a player for under market value, then it's a huge win for the club. A manager has to maximise their clients earning potential.  That doesn't mean threatening to leave, it simply means leaving it un-said.

    I reckon the club would have been relieved when Hogans manager postponed talks to avoid the season long conjecture.

    It's the next best thing to re-signing.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
