The current collective bargaining agreement expires in October - with the new tv deal you'd expect the AFLPA to negotiate a better deal for the players. It would be stupid for any player who doesn't have to, to negotiate new deals under current arrangements, and it wouldn't be shocking if the PA  have requested that members with two or more years remaining hold off extension talks till the end of the year.

    You'd think so but from what we have seen during the Ess saga they may negotiate a drop is player wages...

    I was actually searching for a gif of lemmings going off a cliff, but found that one to be more appropriate. I think it's from a Spanish tv show.

    Excellent, now perhaps this thread wont get to 1000 pages due to mass hysteria.

    Still two years to go (potentially). This thread could break the interwebs.

    Very good. The only mistake he made was "more than 100 seasons"..159 is quite a bit more than 100

    I think it is a toss up between security and potential .....Sign now for 5 years and if you do a knee or other injury or lack of fitness or form you still get your money

    If you have the same injuries or lack of form in the last year of your contract your value will drop.

    Just thinking out loud.

    I have a recollection of a story my father told me about Dame Nellie Melba.

    In her contract it stated that she would be the highest paid female singer in the world. So regardless of what went on, if another singer received a pay rise then hers automatically went up. Perhaps a similar offer to Hogan.  Not the female singer bit!

    I think this is a wise move by his manager and I am not worried yet. If next year they say they want to wait till the end if the season then I will worry.

    In just one completed season there isn't a player Melbourne fans have ever loved more....I can't image how much it's gonna hurt if he leaves in his absolute prime.

    Agreed!

    If anyone is still feeling nervous may this be reassuring:  "Hogan hasn’t seen many victories in his three years at the club, but if it can continue on its current trajectory then he’ll sign for life....He wants to see the club achieve success as much as the most passionate Demons fan and is heavily invested in making that happen...It’s hard to see him walk out on the Demons just as they, including best mate James Harmes, are about make a return to finals for the first time in more than a decade".

    That is fairly strong!  And among the tea leave reading by all the journos on this, there is zero indication that he may leave. 

    It is actually good to be dealing with a sensible player manager.  Remember the mess the respective manager's of Scully, Clarke and Howe made of negotiations and the merry dance they played with the club.  This is different, the delay seems genuine and not gaming by the manager.

    The way I'm reading it is this - sign James Harmes to a 10 year contract and Jesse will follow suit.  

    C'mon Peter, you know what to do...:pj:

    This pretty much Somes up my thoughts! We win more games and make good progress.. He stays!

    Remember Pavlich was the same.. Was from SA and early days the crowd went after him.. He stayed at Fremantle..

    I just hope we continue to screw Fremantle.. Thanks for Jeff White & Jeff Farmer!!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
