As long as we are 6 years into it. 

7 years is realistic, but a 5 year plan seems realistic enough too. 

But let's say we started in 2014, by those calculations, we'd win one by 2020. I think it's more realistic that our window opens in earnest by 2018 and certainly by 2019.

Poor form for a misplacer.

I have tried to stay out of this thread as i say stupid [censored] too often, but here is my opinion anyway....

BB and ADC have a point that if Hoges goes it wont be the end of the world. We are building nicely with or without him and the compo we can fairly expect would be good.

But i hope to high heaven that Jesse re-signs. OK, so he is a shite kick from outside 50.. and granted, his body language has been fuggin disgraceful for most of the season... and his head seems to be in the wrong place..... and.... and....

Stop for a minute and just think how good this fella will be when his head and heart are sorted and he directs all his energy at the contest ???

I can only imagine how he must have been feeling during the year if his old man is as crook as some have suggested. If that was me i would have been pizzwrecked all year and unable to even kick a footy lets alone dominate a game the way that us supporters hope/expect.

His signature is possibly the most important for MFC since Roos and Peter Jackson inked their first contracts. Hogan signs and we can realistically expect to have other names consider us who otherwise might not have.

The kid has future champion written all over him, and he will make others walk taller.

The 5 year plans worked out for Stalin and chairman Mao.

Your posting, and logic, just gets worse and worse.

5 year and longer plans only buy time when there is NFI.

Geez that's a big call from him, surely he doesn't say that unless he's certain.

Ralph seemed very confident that the deal is done. Said that Jesse's father has told Jesse not to come back to WA for him. Ralph also says that Freeo have not been approached by Jesse's management and that all the talk about Jesse going back was to ratchet up Melbourne's financial offer.

All makes sense.  I have always been confident he would stay,..  Im more sceptical the announcement will be today, but we will see if Ralph delivers.

Seriously?  Wow, that's a huge call.  At least it's not a useless twitter account and from someone who is, theoretically, in the know.

Going to be a long day waiting to see if it comes to fruition.

Ross Stevenson said that he'd heard Jesse was going to sign a 4 year deal this week.

I still think all of this hype, is Management driven, to secure a better deal from us.

FWIW, I think he will stay beyond 2017.

Spoke to my contact last night and to cut a long story short Jesse will be playing for MFC next year and club is more than confident we will get a signature this week.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
