If we were to sign him up to an extension at the end of the year as it was alluded to in the HUN article, well, I think I would shed tears of joy, excitement and relief.

    Tom Pretoro from Jesse's management company was just interviewed on SEN and said they will sit down with the Dees during the summer to discuss his contract.

    He went on to say that 'Jesse will be part of Melbourne's future for a long time to come.'

    Almost form the horse's mouth!

    Lets just hope his manager isn't full of horse shite like the other managers generally are.

    Dear Melbourne, please give him whatever he wants.... money, cars, houses, prostitutes, the world. Just give it to him, lock him away for 20 years and lets all move on.

    No he didn't, why twist what he said?!

    He said "Jesse is a huge part of Melbourne's future", which is very different.

    I wish he'd said what you claimed but it's not true. People find strange ways to help them sleep at night...

    Quite different. Saying he is a big part of the future could mean anything really... 'the future' is contained within his current contract.

    Saying that he will be at the club for a long time to come is another thing altogether and insinuates that he'll be signing a long term contract.

    Anyway, Paul said to look for the positives, so I'm taking this to mean he'll be signing a 7 year extension.

    It's not at all, never did he say anything remotely as strong as "Jesse will be a part of Melbourne's future for a long time to come".

    Ugh great. That is completely different and stating the damn obvious

    I suppose sitting down with us is a good start.

    Maybe I'm just choosing to see it that way. ;)

    I don't blame you mate we all have our different coping mechanisms as Melbourne supporters!

    Just thought I'd report what was actually said rather than what was said in all our dreams.

    I went back and listened to the SEN recording and to some extent 'Members Wing' is correct but it needs to be put in full context of the discussion:-

    The Ox asked Petroro: whether they are negotiating with Melbourne to get a long extension or a multi year contract...for Jesse? Petroro's (not quite verbatim) response was: ...we will sit down over the summer and start a discussion...Jesse is really happy in Melbourne...when the time is right both parties will sit down and start to look towards Jesse's future...but he is obviously a huge part of Melbourne's future.

    So in the context of the question, the response to me meant the next contract will keep Jesse with us 'for a long time to come' but to be fair Petroro didn't use those words. You can form your own view at the 12 min mark: http://www.sen.com.au/programs/the-run-home

    There seemed little doubt that there will be a contract extension negotiated over the summer.

    Jesse is contracted till 2017 so even a 'short' extension eg 3 years will keep Jesse a Demon till 2020.

    That's a long time to me and I would be very happy with that sort of contract extension.

    He also confirmed he wasn't personally looking after Hogan.

    Despite the incorrect reporting of what was actually said, and I agree the lily was gilded, I'd be very surprised if Hogan doesn't extend over summer.

    It's the contract after that will be telling.

    If the club can't sort it self out by 2020 and win a flag I couldn't care less if Hogan left in 2021..

    meh, i stopped caring about what Garry thinks/says years ago when he rolled into the club with designer sunnies on and lead the charge with a contingent of media following him, to "save us."

    Albeit it, i do agree with him on this point.

    I'll give you 50-1 we don't win a flag by 2020, that is madness

    Don't think Hogan will win it but I can imagine him on stage receiving it.

    Fixing his hair then pointing to the trophy and saying "is that it?"

    Some of those marks today were just unfair.

    44 goals in his debut season and a presence that just about every other forward can only ever dream of. And hes only 20.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
