Don't forget that sides have won flags with key position forwards of the likes of Barry Hall, Quentin Lynch, and Adam Hunter, Chris Dawes, and Travis Cloke. Its all about the midfield and forward 50 pressure.

I guess what I mean is that 'your midfield' refers to a group of 5-10 players (depending on genuine depth) as a collective that make a premiership side. That means any one of them, or the loss of any one of them, is of much less vale than a player like a Hogan.

Ps you forgot Cam Mooney. FMD.

    I must be missing something...

    I actually don't understand the argument on Hall, Lynch,Hunter, Dawes and Cloke.

    If anything they actually prove you point ( excepting Dawes and Hunter).

    Hall in his premiership year (2005) took a massive 206 marks and kicked 80 goals ! He was AA, and AFLCA player of the year (2nd in their B&F)

    Lynch in  his premiership year (2006) took 143 marks and kicked 65 goals ( 7th in their B&F)

    Cloke took a whopping 171 marks in his premiership year of 2010 and kicked 38 goals but also kicked 40 behinds 

    Hunter still kicked 29 goals in their premiership year but was a swingman at both ends of the ground

    Dawes was second fiddle to Cloke and he still kicked 30 goals for the year.

    Big power forwards like Hall, Lynch, Jono Brown, Franklin, Roughead  and Hawkins have been instrumental in getting their teams premierships.

    In the big picture it's a case of simply needing ppl to kick goals. This may or may not include Hogan. I don't really care as long as the TEAM performs.Staying or going, will be what it is.

    He'd be silly though to pack his bags and tie his swag elsewhere just as we hit our stride.

    This is highly underrated, Hunter virtually played CHB for the whole season and kicked 29 goals.

    Pretty sure it won't be 1.5 years. Think we will have a result in the next few months.

    Roos was on SEN this morning and was naturally asked about Hogan. He trotted out the club line that both parties thought it was best to put discussions on hold until the end of the season. Francis Leach picked him up on the "both parties thought it was best", and Roos came out with the standard, "he's contracted till the end of 2017, he loves it at Melbourne and the players love him".

    If it was about money and length of contract, that could easily be made public and answered with "the club and Jessie's management need to sought these things out at seasons' end". It's clearly not just about money, and the CBA argument is garbage.

    What I don't understand is why WCE have never been mentioned if it's a go-home factor? Every club would bend over backwards to make room for a potentially elite player. It could become another Buddy/GWS scenario.

    I just get the feeling that we are very comfortable with this situation and they clearly know a lot more, than we all know.

    Definitely! I don't believe he would have entered negotiations to start with if he was tempted to leave.

    Not sure about that. Melbourne definitely wanted to start negotiations, but Hogan's management deferred.

    In addition...

    If Roos believed he was going he'd fattening Hogan up for a trade by trotting out the lines like:

    'He's the best young player in the league...'

    'A required player...'

    'Very special, once in a generation talent...'

    I like you as a poster Peter but that's incredibly naive if you think that it wasn't the club's preference to have Hogan tied down by now.

    If he left and we got a top 2 pick and one of their best players under 23 would it affect our prospects?

    Lots of 'tea leave reading' going on here.

    It's just ignorant extrapolation.

  • Quote

    I repeat my plea to the mods:  Can we please have a thread  labelled something like "Hogan - will he re-sign" and another where we can discuss everything else about him.  So we don't have to wade through all this speculation if we just want to know/discuss other things about him.  Pretty please.....

    I'm sure it was the clubs preference, that doesn't mean that talks didn't start and Hogan and his manager decided to put them on hold after.

    OK, it's time to preserve what's left of this once-great thread and resurrect the good vibes that permeated it at the beginning.

    All contract talk should go in the Jesse Hogan Panic Room, a new thread where you can convince yourself and others that's he's staying or going based on facial expressions, astrology & tarot card readings, conversations with taxi drivers and media beat-ups.

    Please leave this thread for footy talk and all non-contract-related discussion.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
