The Jesse Hogan Panic Room - all contract talk here


Grapeviney

Recommended Posts

If Hogan left we'd be looking at Freo's 1st this year (3) and next year.  We should be able to convert them into something like Tom Mitchell, Hamish Hartlett and Michael Hibberd and leave our picks intact.  That's where it sits IMO.  That's why it's important for Hogan to decide.

I agree he needs to decide now, but Freo won't be allowed to trade next years 1st unless they get another 1st through trades this summer, as they'll have only used one 1st in 4 years.

Very good point!  And they don't have a 2nd this year either.  It would have to be some Judd-style deal then 3, 2017 2nd, good player.

It's quite possible with those deals needing to get done and high value pick 3 that Freo are biding their time until next year before pushing it.

Freo definitely would prefer to get him next year value wise, they'll want to keep 3 for sure. On the other hand we would want to get it done this year whilst they have 3 and the fact we need to learn to play without him long term if he goes so might as well go now.

 McCarthy walked out of GWS and stood down for the season. What's the deal there.? Is he like any other contracted player?

Said he was suffering from some form of mental illness and needed to get home as part of the remedy.

Will be traded like any other contracted player. I actually had no issue with what GWS did, they wanted to make a stand regarding players and I think they sent a message. Sure they'll lose out in value (They would have ended up with pick 3 this year...) but it was ridiculous how McCarthy signed a new deal then a couple months later wanted out.

If Jesse wanted to go back west next year, he would have to tell us within the next 4 weeks, as trade week starts then.

We can assume then, that if we are not told that by the end of trade week, that he is probably happy to extend his contract with us.

I don't see him playing an extra year with us, if he wants to go home and then allowing Freo to screw us, when he is uncontracted. 

We have been good to him, paid a lot for him and  paid him for a year, when he was out injured.

I think he would want us to be treated fairly, if he chose to leave.

Agree. 

I think he'll stay. Even if there is a big pull to live near family i honestly can't see how attractive Freo would be to go to as a club (its funny how all the talk is freo and not WC at all, though i suppose they have Kennedy).  They're now in a rebuild and realistically 2-3 years behind us in terms of that rebuild. They don't have that many young guns on the list. As i've noted the travel factor is a huge negative, particularly for  a KP with a history of back issues. And i reckon Ross Lyon would be a pretty intimating coach and i wonder how Jesse would go with him.

And there is no doubt the club and Jesse are aware of this, no doubt the conversations have already happened to see where he's at as far as extending, I suspect the future of Dawes might be tied to the outcome of that conversation.

The club knows Jesse is our biggest trade asset, maybe Gawn is the only other one in the same conversation and if he leaves we simply have to get a good return on him,

Redleg, that's well reasoned logic albeit with one caveat.  There's been several oblique references on here to the nature of the family issue Jesse is contending with and Paul Roos made an even more subtle reference to it.  It would seem apparent that resolution of that issue is likely a primary driver in Jesse's decision making.  Unfortunately, the timing of the resolution is not a controllable variable and hence the possibility remains that we end up getting screwed, albeit inadvertently.

Roos ever the diplomat  will skirt around any unpalatable truth if negotiations are in progress. Family reasons is the least controversial angle he could put on it. Family reasons may be the truth or not but could also be a face saving move for all parties involved in an effort to get a deal done.

The news I got at the best and fairest, from another of our players who was tight with jesse-

He was absolutely staying until about July. Since then he's gotten homesick and is more likely to leave than stay. This player said it's his gut feeling he will make that known at the exit meetings, which will be had after Casey finish the finals.

Faaark me. Homesick?! 

Would explain his last 6 weeks of footy too. Him leaving will put us back a long long way.

Perf is an isolated country town, full of screaming meatheads (and my nephew, who is awesome)

Why the hell would he be homesick for a place like that?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
