Players like Jesse Hogan want to play at the MCG.

Not saying he won't leave, but my bet is it won't be to a Perth club.

Karl is talking [censored]. If he was close enough to Jesse, his family or manager he would be close enough to not make this information public. [censored].

but langdon's a cad, so it must be true then

This has always been my vibe too.

 

Plus his buggered back, that'd put you off flying every second week.

 

If this is true, we are to never EVER again recruit a top 20 draft pick who resides outside of Victoria.

We are too inept a club to retain talent.

Very interested to hear that Wayne Carey will spend some time with Jesse Hogan over the coming weeks. I believe Goodwin is behind it and its very much a Football mentoring role.. some instructional work.. forward line movement. I think its a good move, a bit unlike Melbourne, but its Goodwin again on the front foot.

Great news. Need to leave no stone unturned with his development. A Carey lead finishing school will do wonders. It will also help towards a "lock" at the negotiation table. Some decent wins between now and then also needed though. Go boys go! Just go and dont look back!

Langdon's got good mail.

He was the one that dropped the Worsfold to Essendon bomb-shell before anyone else.

I remember that and i strongly believe that was a guess. and far far different to this situation

I am already over this shitz. 

If he wants to stay great and if he wants to leave well then c ya and don't let the door hit u on the way out  

The AFL has created this farkin shitz storm

Worsfold- as in his former captain? Bit of a different situation.

How is this any different.

I laugh at people that have a crack at others for saying what realistically could potentially happen in the next couple of years. Langdon is very good friends with Hogans manager so i have no doubt that maybe he has some information from them.

Just because he is still contracted for another year doesn't that can stop him from asking for a trade.

What doesn't add up, to me, is what has changed in a few months.  He happily signed on at the end of 2014 and, if he really wanted out, he could have gone to the club and demanded a trade.  Nothing happened.  He completed an excellent pre-season and is just starting to get back into form, giving no indication that he wants to be back in Perth at all costs.

Langdon has hit the mark before, but he's also been waaaaay off as well.  He is a Perth native who, of course, would want to see someone like Jesse come home.  I just can't take him all that seriously.

I'd suggest not for long if he gets told something and goes running his mouth about it on twitter, that doesn't help anyone, especially Jesse. 

It's different because Woosha at the time had gone from not wanting to coach at all, to working at the crows and started to get some passion back, Hird right in the firing line, it wasn't a huge stretch

Jesse on the other hand, the public message we're getting is nothing but loyalty to the MFC, for him to leave would be a backflip on that, making it a very different situation, his manager said not that long again that Jesse is loyal to the MFC and now his " mate " is saying his next contract will be in Perth. 

 

I'm not investing any emotion into Hogan. He's 50 50 at best to stay. He's the classic pay to play player. My guess is he's leaving and I don't believe it will ruin us

I agree, you need to thin what we could get for him. Surely would have to be decent. Obviously i want him to say, but you need to have a back up plan.

He'll either sign a massive deal with us at years end or he's gone. Pick 1 to 5 plus a quality player

Langdon does tend to get a lot right.   First time I've been worried about this -  but Scully situation turned out ok it in the end -  and we'll get good value if he does want a move.....

Hoges is contracted until end of season 2017. Would want Neale  plus a top 5 pick plus a first rounder the next year - so good is Hoges. Freo is ageing and could be on the decline. Why would he leave a club on the rise if his pay is ok. Plus Freo have to fit McCarthy and Hooker if they go there in the CAP. Cannot see it happening.

There is another Perth club you know.

Yes, but they already have quality tall forwards, would struggle to fit him in the CAP and would need to trade good players away to get picks to trade for Hogan. Cannot see WCE interested unless they are prepared to give up Kennedy which will not happen.

The reason why what Langdon says sounds like BS is because he says that if Hogan could be playing in Perth now he would be.

Fact is Hogan could be playing in Perth if he wanted to, yet he signed a contract extension towards the end of 2014.

Done the rounds on this one already (I think even on this thread). Darling and Kennedy still have enough footy left in them that it would make it really hard to fit him in now.

And I just can't see how they'd fit him under the cap.

Well its 2016 now not 2014. Things have changed in his life. We don't know whats currently going through his head compared to 2014 when he hadn't played a single game.

screw picks! 2 x A graders are needed if he leaves! we know that he will be a star. draftees are unreliable and take time. 

i can't believe that i'm even entertaining the thought that he will leave... i don't think it will happen and i sure as hell don't want to see it happen. he's a good guy and has unlimited potential. for anyone suggesting that he's just here to get the big bucks, that is a real cynical way to look at the situation. he's been in melbourne for years now and has mates here and they are hopefully growing together. if we are still in our quagmire in a few years he'll go, but we should be sweet for the moment.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • 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.
