The Jesse Hogan Panic Room - all contract talk here


Grapeviney

Recommended Posts

I don't pretend to know anything about Hogan staying or going. (I hope he stays. He is valuable.)

But I wouldn't read anything into the comments from WCE.

The trade period business is very cloak and dagger for some clubs. It could in fact be a message to current WCE players that they are trade bait if they don't pull up their socks. Or he might be trying to force Freo into offering a higher price because they both have their eye on another player elsewhere, and want to stuff it up for Freo.

Or Hogan's manager might be mates and told him to say it just to stir up MFC.

Lots of strange and underhand goings on over the years ... as they say, lying is the second language of the AFL.

Goodwins comments here are exactly what I was told from another senior person at MFC.  This is all true.  All that is missing is the reason for Hogan's current stay in WA.  His critically ill father has the potential of stuffing this up for us, but the truth is that it is extremely unlikely Hogan will not re-sign with the Dees.  

Breathtakingly insensitive.

That's why I said that this could be the Manager getting a bit more for Jesse from us. It is his job after all as a Manager

I think he was being facetious. As were you.

I don't think GNF was being insensitive or facetious.  He omitted the word inadvertently ie the timing of the resolution of Jesse's personal situation is not dovetailed to the trade period, nor the AFL season nor his contract expiry and that potentially could cause a suboptimal outcome for the MFC notwithstanding the best intentions of Jesse (and even other parties in this saga).  If you look at my post from several weeks ago you'll see the same assessment, albeit written in more subtle language as the matter of Jesse's father's illness was not being discussed in detail at that point.

Thumbs up.

We live in an age where people go searching to find offence. 

Btw, I'm not suggesting LH was, but the grievance industry is alive and well.

According to our latest Australian of the year the word "guys" is now sexist.

But I digress ...

Edit: I hasten to add that I acknowledge you may not endorse my post, or that it adds to yours.

Are you serious???

If you are not prepared to be offended or you are over sensitive for God sake never go onto social media.......... especially Demonland.

The truth is the truth. Who and why are we protecting people from the truth?

Yes I was serious.  I wasn't doubting the truth of it and it was not the reference to Jesse's father being ill, that I found insensitive...

...It was the reference to 'stuffing it up for us'.  In the circumstances I felt it was a poor choice of words.

If Jesse goes back to play in WA to be with his family so be it.  I will applaud him.  I will not think his father's illness 'stuffed it up for us'. 

You have a different view, that's just fine.

See, this is what annoys me.  He's not a 'Prima Donna' forward.  He's a kid.  It's up to the club as a whole to make sure we get the very best out of him - if the transition is slow and the disposal is sub par then of course you aren't going to kick many goals, nor are you going to get a whole lot of the footy.

And the list of players in general without a flag is very long.  It doesn't just go with forwards with stacks of goals.  

74 shots on goal from 21 games (round 13 v Sydney, played in heavy rain, team kicked 4 goals for the entire match) for a return of 41 goals 33, he got his fair share of the footy. A lot of his misses were no more than 35 metres out and a less than 45 degree angle so no, your not going to kick too many when you continue to miss sodas. Yes the midfield has areas it needs to work but so does Hogan.

I'm with you. Totally inappropriate comment. "If someone tells you you have offended them, you don't get to decide whether you have or not" Louis CK

Bigfooty: '' Apparently Jesse was at the Wa amateurs grand final with a few Freo players . Don't know who the Freo players were but a mate said it was apparently mentioned on abc radio in Wa who covered the game.''

Well , it's fair to say he's got plenty of mates over there , in footy and outside the game. 

I personally think he's going home to play , I hope I'm wrong.. 

Certainly will miss his fast hands and close in play

While I liked the post because it said something positive about him staying, even I am not insensitive enough to word something like that, when his family and mates probably read this site.

Poor form GNF.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.

    LAST DANCE by The Oracle

    Forget the wishful thinking from Magpie fans who think their team can perform yet another miracle and somehow snatch a place in the 2024 finals series when their team takes on the Demons at the MCG on Friday night. It ain’t gunna happen. They can whistle Dixie through their non-existent front teeth but the fact of the matter is that both teams have run their race. The game is a dead rubber — for each of them, this will be the last dance of the season.  And given the history between the two

    RED FACED by Whispering Jack

    The wind and the hot unseasonable temperatures together with lights turned on mid game at People First Stadium conspired to leave many Suns players and supporters red faced and gasping for air as the Demons proved a number of points on their way to a nine goal triumph on Saturday afternoon in the Carrara sunshine. Melbourne is the only non-Queensland team to taste victory at this venue in 2024. This surely leaves a number of journalists and media mavens red faced after they rushed to pass
