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

    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:

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
