Ten years, $1m, biggest contract in AFL history, would still be a bargain.

Is it unwise to offer a 20 year deal?

it's a tough gig in the medja game

gotta come up with something sensational every week to stay relevant

If the mfc offered jesse a 10 year deal at 1 mil plus would anyone on here object??

I think we should back-pay him with an apology for only offering $500k.

Seriously though, it might all come down to team balance and success over the duration. Fingers crossed that we'll have a real issue in managing the cap in the years to come due to all of or stars.

Part of me thinks (hopes) that if/when the time comes to get him to sign, the AFL might just be lurking secretly in the background to make sure he stays a dee.

How could anyone object, it's not like we have poached him from another team, or through FA....we have drafted this guy as an underage player .....I think his team mates wouldn't have a problem with it, which can be a downside to getting a highly paid player on a teams list....

He wears the number 1 and has been with us since he was 17... We all know he is worth it.

He is a " marquee player " which will result in people signing up for memberships and the sales of merchandise and numbers through the gates...If we loose this guy it will be the biggest mistake the MFC has ever made.

What would other teams be offering him? If Boyd is worth 1 mil/year for WB

Ox and Derm love him.

Surely, some Godfather-like offer has already been put to him.

Best thing I've ever heard, lets hope it happens!

Im sure they will

As Carey said yesterday he is just a player that demands the ball and wants to be the one to kick the goals. I just love his contested marking work and every time the ball goes in his direction you are just so confident he will mark it. He run up still looks weird but he is one of the reasons I look forward to going to the footy.

You just have to pinch yourself that we have this guy and that he is so good already.

Correct H and we'll pay him whatever the [censored] he wants!!

We should put together a demonland task force to find him a young dèes supporting woman in melbourne to shack up with, personally id like to see bitter and biffen play a big role in this. That could only end well.

No. Whatever it takes.

I'm sure there would be happy endings

Could we make him our Environmental Ambassador?

Have another

And he has got that natural football timing thing that you just can't teach. He instinctively knows when to body his opponent and how to give himself the advantage.

He is sort of the anti Col Sylvia who was always half a beat behind most others whereas Jesse is has it sussed well before everyone else.

Edit. And thanks for the clips HH. He is going to be making defenders look silly for a long time to come

Edit 2. And whilst I would like to have Cripps in Red and Blue is there a supporter in the comp who would rather have him than Hogan? Jesse has had the number one defender play on him since the first round, the best, strongest and most experienced of every team and has lowered their colours more often than not. Honestly just call the press conference, apologise for the delay and give him the rising star

Good to see Jesse in the team of the week.

Every week he seems to raise the bar of his abilities. 4 weeks left in his first season on playing on AFL defenders, what more can he achieve?

Another 7 votes in the AFLCA votes. One coach gave him 4 and the other 3. He's absolutely killing it.
