however....the press conference was at AAMI and the stage was on a north/south positioning with Jesse facing east/west - if his left eye moved but right eye didn't by my reckoning he is off to play for the Doveton Eagles.

No one seems to have noticed Jesse's tapping of his fingers on the desktop? It was clearly morse code, and to these old ears when decoded it was "I'm gone" repeated over and over. Also, if you play the club song backwards at 53.8rpm, "Jesse's off to Freo" can be heard over the general static.

I played club song backwards and all I got was a good omen that we were going to thump the Power. I heard "I bury Port".

Pffft please

just wasted 2 mins of my life

Even if true and JH has invested in real estate in WA, this really means little.  I have an investment property on the Gold Coast, but I aint moving there.  No doubt, Jesse will go home at some point and it would be nice if he had a home to move into ............ wouldn't it?

"The mail" only goes every second day and costs more.

"The mail" isn't what it used to be.

...

How many times have you heard "mail" like this that has turned out to be 180 degrees wrong? There aren't enough hands in Australia to count on the fingers.

Yep, my favourite was when one commentator (Mark Ricciuto I think?) was declaring with supreme confidence that Simon Goodwin would be the new Crows coach, whilst Goodwin himself was holding a press conference at that very same moment announcing his deal with us.

you want good mail...here's good mail

[Ted Lasso 19,311]

What rubbish, Jesse and his manager have both publicly expressed his loyalty to the MFC, and a preference to stay in Melbourne the city, i have said it for a while now, teams like Collingwood and Hawthorn are a bigger threat then teams like Fremantle, but i believe very strongly that Jesse is waiting for the new deal thingy to work itself out before committing again

[nutbean 8,838]

I will get torn to strips for this but here is a couple of quotes for you

"I love the club, I love all my teammates and I just want to be a part of the future at the footy club."

‘I’d love to end my career and say I was a one club player, and anticipate that will be the case,’’

His manager " You should be optimistic about him staying with Melbourne"

I am not comparing Jesse in any way shape or form to the lying little weasel ( and his manager)  that uttered those words but as far as I am concerned any expressions of love and loyalty by players and their managers is just fluff. I see no reason for Hogan to do anything right now with two years to run on his contract (other than play good football) . As much as I believe that Hogan could be a one in generation type footballer and we need to sign him, he will get the world thrown at him. It is completely out of our ( the supporters ) control but I also believe the club is in a good place and moving forward  - we need to keep rising up the ladder to give another good reason to why he would be silly to go elsewhere.

However I have been burned before by "loyal" players and as far as I am concerned I will enjoy the Hogan on field ride and his contract will be taken care of one way or another.

I've said it longer.

[Pates 9,660]

Yeah I have to admit the fluff that comes from players about loving a club and wanting to be a one club player is just that....fluff. Having said that, it's frustrating that this is going to drag even longer than any other contract issue BECAUSE HE'S GOT 2 SEASON LEFT! It makes perfect sense one way or another that he would wait until after the new CBA, who knows what it's going to mean for the players?

It sucks for us, we want to know he's signed and secure for a long time at the club but we're going to have to suck it up. The main frustration is that just about every article that features Jesse in it will have some kind of line of "Jesse Hogan, who chose to put off contract talks until the end of the season" placed smack bang in the middle. He's the most talked about player who's played 20 games FFS! It's a damn shame we can't just let him play footy!

[Redleg 40,843]

The West Australian said he was also enjoying playing alongside close friends Harmes and Jesse Hogan.

“A lot of us are really good mates anyway but being out on the field together we can help one another out,” Kent said.

“It’s just an exciting time for the club, we’ve got a lot of young guys stepping up and I just can’t wait for round one."

How many had Scully played when he caused the media circus about him staying or going?

[chook fowler 19,446]

See Scully has been overlooked for the leadership group. What a shame.

Who gives a stuff? This kid's not Scully and the circumstances are completely different. Hogan can't just up and leave, there'd have to be a trade worked for him and I can't imagine what we would expect in return. I reckon he's ours for the next 4 years at least and if we're any good he'll stick around after that.

Brad Hardie hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Not saying Hogan will leave.....

What's the point of having a draft system/salary cap as an equalisation to a so called competition, if clubs who finish near the bottom which happens when you have 18 teams only to see talented kids leave after 3 seasons.. Compensation is another early pick which is a lottery .. 

Football the world game allows you to profit from selling talent & then buying other players.. ..... 

Afl you can't have it both ways!
