I think he will sign the extension before the start of next season after bagging 60 goals this year and the team on the cusp of finals.......

    I suppose the good news in all this for the club is that Jesse's current contract no doubt sees him being one of the few Melbourne players over the past decade being paid less than he is worth.

    I'm very relaxed about the situation with Jesse.

    We are in the box seat to re-sign him. We just need to perform on the field now - that is, and should be, the focus now.

    Won't be so relaxed if we put in tres ordinaire performances week in, week out, and continually get belted.

    Perhaps it's seriously misguided optimism, but I just can't see that happening anymore.

    Two years to go on his contract. Will come out of contract as a restricted free agent. Freo have bigger fish to fry.

    I'm in the boat of "I'll believe it when I see it". We've been sucked in before, and whilst I have some cautious optimism about this group, it's not too different from the one that got belted by Carlton, St Kilda and the Dogs, and got beaten by Essendon in the second half of last season. It may take a while for those sort of performances to be phased out entirely.

    I want to enjoy the next two years with Jesse. If he goes I'll deal with the disappointment then.

    You have the ability to compartmentalise.

    So many supporters here not reading the tea leaves...

    He doesn't want to live in Perth (yet), so dismiss the "go home factor"

    He's "loyal" - a point his manager is keen to point out 

    He only extended his last contract 18 months ago

    He's only got one season under his belt

    With two years still to run he and his advisers think another year to show his wares (and confirm that the Dees are on the right track) makes perfect sense

    There are many players on the list (Harmes, Kent, JKH, Tom Mc, Petracca, etc.) that he is very close to and player relationships is one of the major reasons players don't go

    He's well aware of his importance to the team and would feel a real responsibility to help make a difference - it might be different if he was 26 and had already given plenty of service 

    I'm very relaxed about the situation. 

    Can this post be pinned to the top somehow? The hand wringing by some in this thread is ridiculous.

    No. Even if it were, it would backfire spectacularly.

    The situation isn't anything like Howe last year, Jesse has been in talks for a while now and to the point numbers and years are a part of it, he's been shown a vision of the future, 

    i am firmly of the belief, Jesse has an offer on the table and he and his manager simply want to see improvement before he signs away the next 5-7 years of his career, which is absolutely fair enough

    just watch him train and you'll see he's totally invested in the club, he wants to be part of it.

    Putting talks on hold is simply to quiet the speculation of Jesse signing in the very near future so he can make a calm and calculated decision in his own time, but i have no doubt he will sign on.

    I just had a squizz at the Fremantle board regarding Jesse Hogan delaying contract negotiations. Majority of supporters seemed very realistic that there is a very slim to none chance Hogan will go back to WA and more likely than not sign back on with the Dees. Playing it down that he has put negotiations on hold as it was the right decision for all parties.

    they have their hands full with Hooker and Macarthey

    I have NO problem with Jesse putting off talks for this season. 

    Now i want The MFC to perform this season in such a way that Jesse WANTS TO STAY

    We as a club must be attractive not just on paper

    Performance on field will sign this deal.

    Another year down the track...another year of this list playing together, the fabric tightens. Success will be the ultimate thread that binds. 

    The better we get the better we get at getting better and the getting of better players and keeping them becomes more automatic.

    Go Dees

    With still another year on top of this year, there is no reason for us to worry about it. I prefer him to be focusing on developing and becoming a dominant force in the AFL, the team needs to be pulling in one direction this year and that's up the ladder. 

    No worries for me with him asking to resume talks at the end of the season, and we got an absolute pearler from Titus to chuckle at as well!

    • 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.
