If my calculations are correct 4 years would take him to free agency.  So the years on the deal make a lot of sense.

Probably a rubbish rumour though.

Read post 3281 you may like it.

I know Dr. Turf and he wouldn't make it up. If he said it on SEN, then he has heard it from someone. Doesn't mean the other person is correct of course.

Also if true, the club may not be happy with him breaking the news.

The fact that it would take him to FA, does add some logic to it.

From what I heard, he didn't directly say that Hogan would be signing a four year contract, he simply said that his gut feeling is that Hogan will stay. It does seem promising that he mentioned it today though as it coincides with what his daughter posted.

Unless his daughter (who merely said it was a rumour) got that info from her Dad on the radio...

Facebook post was a few hours prior.

In which case,  maybe Dr Turf phrased it as a gut feel because, like Redleg said, the club wouldn't be happy with someone leaking this info

Still could have got the idea from her Dad and then posted it as a rumour rather than a gut feeling...

Where did the 4 year signing come from though?

Turns out that fb post is from the daughter of "Dr Turf"... Hmmmm...

Edit - And apparently "Dr Turf" mentioned this on SEN today.

I'm going off second hand info, but apparently he said it this morning.

 

Yup, it was his daughter. And Turfy said on SEN that he "believed" that Jesse had signed a 4 year deal. 
Also, some suggestions that the deal has a clause in it in regards to Jesse's father. Whatever it may be, but probably fair enough.

Also, yes, that Melbourne FC facebook group is bizarre. Every now and then a few gems of info pops up but most of it is bizarre and uneducated. It makes Demonland look like Harvard.

Scenario...

Daddy Turf at brekkie: "I have a feeling Hogan will sign on, maybe for about 4 years which would take him to free agency...."

Daughter Turf: "Oh yeah...." (Then posts on facebook she heard a rumour Hogan has signed a contract for 4 years)

Don't think so.

The suggestion that there will be an announcement next week (ie. after the GF), also adds a smidgen of credibility   .....   but probably just clutching at straws.

The Good Doctor has many contacts inside the MFC

I don't think he would say anything unless he heard strong words.

His brother is an ex Director of the club  and would have some pretty good contacts.

It may be why he has couched his comments as a feeling only, so as to not betray a confidence.

Agreed. I have known John as a Passionate Demon since Punter to Punter days. 

I consider his words a solid source.

Darling rumoured to be leaving Eagles and Essendon leading the chase with several other clubs also interested.

Hope this rumour doesn't throw a spanner in the other rumour we are discussing.

Didn't think he would last after Bad games in Finals 2 years running. 

Hopefully the MFC deal is locked

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
