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.

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...

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

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

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
