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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
