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.

Yes, youre right Redleg. Will take him to FA.  Lets hope the rumour is legit.

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.

Lol yeah you're right, someone posting something they heard as a rumour on facebook could never happen...

 

The Good Doctor has many contacts inside the MFC

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

Dr Turf and the Ox are 2 i take notice of if they are talking MFC

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
