The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

McQueen
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Not surprised by his decision to focus on footy.

It does, however, allow the media to speculate about it ad nauseum, and for posters on here to take off their jocks so everyone can sh*t in them about the situation. Plenty on here will have their mental health tested by this.

There's still 2 yrs to go on his contract. It's gunna be a long 2 yrs if this shitz is starting now.

This thread will be at 1000 pages by the end of the 2 yrs!

    Hogan said on Foxtel that signing is an option but he has plenty of time.

    If he was out of contract next year I would be concerned, but he still has 2 years FFS.

    His contract status is a non issue right now.

    He will kick 70 goals this season and in summer of 2016 he will be sign at 1.5 mil per year for many years. With the Dees of course.

    Interesting timing to the Hogan extension discussion from the MFC, its as if they are purposefully indicating Hogans extended tenure to help attract and entice other prospective players to come to the MFC...

    Wonder who they are? :)

    We have to own the city of Melbourne and the club made a great job of the launch yesterday.

    Similarly we have to make melbourne a destination so that Jesse and others want to stay and gun players from other clubs will want to come to us. The reality is we haven't been able to attract the Dangerfield's of the comp to Melbourne. Success, a high profile in melbourne and and a great group of core home-grown talent might get us there.

    Its no 5 minute fix but like most things PJ does it is a long term sound strategy being built piece by piece. People ridiculed Glen Bartlett with his New York Yankees talk but the idea is the right one. We owned the town yesterday and we need to do it on a more consistent basis. We need to own it during footy season and there is no quick fix.

    There has been a shift in the narrative.

    A month ago indications were strong from Jesse and the club of an extension happening over summer.

    Now it seems that won't happen.

    The words 'contract on hold', or 'wait and see' are like a stick of dynamite to supporters and the press.

    Jesse has every right to wait.

    We just need to enjoy him and be patient.

    Nonetheless, the shift in the narrative is the worrying bit.

    The narrative hasn't changed. There was never a "strong" indication that Jesse would sign an extension. Rather, the narrative was that we've opened up discussions with him about the possibility of an extension. One step at a time my friend.

    Hogan's answers re contract interesting though ... Inferred now footy is back for another season, all talks on hold ...

    Mark Stevens ‏@Stevo7AFL 8m8 minutes ago

    Strong indication from Hogan was there will be no deal either before or during 2016 season ... Just wants to play ...

    I'm ok with this, given he signed an extension 12 months ago. Let him play next year and address it later next season.

    Yep, sit down at seasons end and talk then.

    Otherwise it looks like we are too desperate. If I was him, I wouldn't sign now.

  • Quote

    My info on this is that Jesse's manager is doing his job, well aware big offers are going to come, wants jesse to put in another really good year and then squeeze out the best possible deal for his client, could sign for 5 years at a million right now and then find out 12 months later it might have been 8 years at 1.5 when the MFC were a bit more worried.

    all indications seem to be that he'll stay with us, but he still has 2 years to run and an extension isn't a priority.

    He's looking at potential forward partners from the draft, headlining the clubs re-branding, very much becoming the face of the club, you don't do all of those things if you aren't interested in hanging around.

    The way I read Concentrating on footy to hold on contract talks is, Im going to practice my goal kick all preseason and kick 60 goals next season which will give me an extra $500,000 per year on my price tag.

    Smart move.

    I think even suggesting talking about a contract extension with 2 year left on his existing one This early in his career says we are desperate to keep him.

    We have basically given him the right to demand a blank check at the end of next season.

    Don't know if this was the smartest move by the club, just hope his manager doesn't play hard ball now and we pay way over for him.

    Jesse will be a once in a generation player so I'm pretty sure we will give him what ever he wants to keep him at Melbourne.

    We do need to own Melbourne City, how much would it cost the club to set up a coffee van in fed squad and give out free coffees and waters with the logo on it every Home game at the MCG?

    We need something like that to make it our city!!

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
