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!!

The best commodity we have right now to gain traction in Melbourne City is Jesse Hogan and, of course, winning.

As Lance Franklin showed, kids identify with a marquee player. Franklin was huge in elevating Hawthorn's brand - along with the 2008 flag.

Off and on-field, Hogan is the best thing going for this club in eons.

    Yes, for all the money spent on rebranding, re-doing the song, giving out free coffee, and all that stuff - the best value for money will be whatever Jesse Hogan wants.

    So Jesse has put on weight, he looks stronger, more confident, ready to improve on 2015.

    The most important re-signing there is...

    A rule change suggestion that had been thrown around a while ago was the possibility of introducing 1 franchise player per team and being able to pay that player outside the normal salary cap, that'd be handy right now.

    it would also mount a case for hawks - or any destination/powerhouse club - to poach him on massive dollars too.

    That would be the worst thing that could happen to the AFL.

    Agree with you, would introduce a"him and us"division: sort of modern version of gentlemen (gentleman) and players.

    And it coincides with a year that three overpaid footballers collectively worth about 1.2 million coming out of contract. 

     

    We we simply can not [censored] this up. That fact we were proactive last year was a good sign but as many have alluded to already we must win more games. 10 isn't a pass this year as we should have beaten Saints/Bombers/Blues last year. To win more games we must eliminate all passengers as the players are flat out of excuses.

    In that case Gil is highly likely to run with it ?

    Why is this in a Hogan thread ?

    we really need McCarthy to get to the Dockers on a big contract at the end of this year. 

    I back the club to successfully counter any other Vic clubs offer to Jesse. The WA factor is our achilles. If Dockers get McCarthy that threat reduces somewhat, although not entirely.

    I think DA was drawing parallels regards their journey into AFL football and similarities with their careers.

    Cripps extends.

    Fremantle will be able to get McCarthy at a very low price due to his current issues. No other club would want to touch him, bar maybe the Eagles. I think signing him will reduce the urgency for them to sign another forward, but I don't think it would deter them from making a play for Hogan. If they think they're a chance to get him, they'll do everything they can to do so.

    That being said, we've still got Hogan for this year and next year. That means that even if we have a season that's below expectations in 2016, we'll still have a chance to right the ship in 2017 before he makes his final decision. He's said that he loves Melbourne, and it's obvious that he has great relationships with a lot of his teammates. He plays with passion and looks like he's committed to the cause.

    While it would be an awesome boost to the club to sign him before round one 2016, I'm not overly concerned if he wants to wait until mid-season or even after the season to negotiate his contract. I'd feel uneasy if he went into 2017 unsigned, but even then, that's not the end of the world.

    Pretty simple

    1. the club must show an upward trajectory - important for most players. We have been a basket case for so long - it is little wonder players wanted to move on. In my mind we are now stable and poised to continue to improve. We must win more games. 
    2. meet financial demands - that is in our own hands and I don't believe that will be a problem
    3. hope the go home factor is not a factor - all noises being made is that he is happy here - I take that at face value.

    Presumably from his RS interviews, the two are also very good mates.

    • 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.
