Yeah me too, but I do worry about these new big deals.... look at Franklin. Since he was on the real big money whats he done?? Then again theres no other option I guess.

The thing that I can see with Jesse is that he's driven to be the best and absolutely hates losing. Paying him big money on a lengthy contract wouldn't change this.

    He is at the club for the next 48 games guaranteed - there is no rush. The next deal can be the huge one.

    shouldn't that be the next 54 games? :rolleyes:

    Yes i think your probably right with this kid. Just saying many millions of dollars can be distracting for a young lad.

    What are you suggesting, just let someone else give him the money so they can deal with the distracted superstar?

    Ask him how much he wants to earn over his football career. Then simply fill in the number of years.

    I'm guessing a young man would like $10million

    On a one club entire career basis that would be a bargain.

    Front and rear end the contract and away we go.

    $2mill

    $1mill

    $700kl

    $700k

    $600k

    $600k

    No, if youd read my earlier post i said its not like we have a choice....

    He would be watching the bullies delivering to their forwards and thinking, I would have 80 goals this year if I was at that club.

    If we don't improve by a massive margins next year, he will walk the year after to a better club.

    Do we have to hear this after every bad loss? It's actually disrespectful to Hogan.

    It's my opinion, and I truly believe he will leave the club eventually.

    Wether that is 2, 5, 8 years I'm not sure. But I don't have faith he will be a one club player.

    So why doesn't the same ridiculous fear mongering apply to Gus Brayshaw?

    He is a mid from vic, won't get near the same amount of money thrown at him by other clubs especially those from his home state.

    In this day and age he could get enormous amounts thrown at him regardless.

    The point is, you're spending too much time despairing over losing Hogan. He is contracted to us at the moment, he puts in more effort than most on game day and he clearly seems to love playing with his mates. What will be, will be but I think he'll be with the MFC for a long time and I expect the club will do what they need to to ensure that this happens. We are improving and every time I've ever heard him speak, he indicates that he is very passionate and very keen to spearhead this improvement and make the club great again.

    Smokey for future captain?

    I'm petrified that I'm finally seeing a forward show as much promise as the Ox and I can't help but think/feel he will up and leave us.

    I'll try and stop now.

    What did Cripps do this week? Hoges would have helped his chances of Rising Star with 3 goals in a rubbish team this week

    Cripps was the leading disposal winner for his team with 25.... Hardly going to hurt his chances with that performance...

    When asked what he thought about the rising star award and his competition for the award.

    "Sheed and esp. Cripps is going really well. Getting over 35 last week, mid 20's in the last month....(hesitates)... actually haven't really paid attention and just trying to improve himself"

    He is tracking everyone and wants to be better then everyone.

    This was interesting:

    http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne/shows/rush-hour-with-james-brayshaw-and-billy-brownless/podcasts/

    If you're OK to download the 53MB and get to the Jesse interview, his somewhat equivocal (look it up?) response to the "How do you like living in Melbourne?" question was where the worry lies for me.

    Meanwhile, though, it's great to have him with us - with a bunch of other good stuff (albeit spasmodically!), it makes watching/following the Dees a little bit better than it has been in recent years!

    TRB - I'm not okay with 53mb. Can you please summarise for us? Your thoughts of course.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
