Well he now has the opportunity to put up, or a club might be wise to trade out. 

Even our ex coach believes this is how you need to view the situation.

I would expect some indication sooner rather than later.

14 marks last week would have to be an attempt.

Pretty hard to get a kick in the forward line yesterday, when first, it didn't get there much and second, when it did, it was kicked away from the Melbourne forwards and to the chest of Cats players.

Yesterday's disposal by us, was as poor as I can recall.

Weideman was invisible and Watts couldn't get near it either.  Further proof that our forward line wasn't given an opportunity to impose themselves on the game yesterday.

Disgusting comments in here.

Played 21 games, averaged more marks, kicks, disposals than 2015. Had a bad last month but still averaged 2 goals a game (0.2 less than last year).

Some of you need to get a grip.

Well said.

His last month, as you say, has been poor and he needs to work on his kicking over the summer.  But the rest of his year, especially in the first half, was fantastic.  That can't be forgotten in all of this.

 

If his heart is at the Melbourne Football Club, he should re sign with the club as soon as possible.

Surely we know by now that the later players put off contract talks (Scully, Frawley, Ablett, Dangerfield, etc etc), the more likely they are not staying.

We all love the kid and hope he stays and wins us premierships in the next how many years, but we have to make the best decision for the club. If it involves trading him while his currency is high, we shouldn't be scared of it.

So answer is.. he's got to let us know! Don't drag it until next season.

Getting a grip is not a Demonlander characteristic - BBO excepted

The difference is all the players you mentioned were out of contract/free agents at the end of the season in which they left their respective clubs. Hogan has another year to run and has no obligation to re-sign. 

I think it's a really poor decision to dangle the threat of being traded to a player just because they have chosen not to extend their contract when they still have a year to run. 

Haven't forgotten that at all. Prudence suugests you do it now not then ( get his signature that is )

People seem to be forgetting that Hogan is signed until the end of 2017.

If he is still unsigned by round 1 2017 it is extremely likely he leaves. I think it'll be decided by trade week though one way or another.

 

 

I don't understand the panic with Jesses contract. At the end of 2017 he will be a RFA and another club will need to trade for him anyway. 

Unless he requests a trade i dont understand all the fuss.

Didn't he mention a few weeks back that a decision would be made within 6 months, or something to that effect?


What's the hold up?

Nope, isn't a RFA. Even if the year he spent with us in 2013 counted towards FA (I don't think it does) he'd still only have been here for 5 years.

Might be unpopular but the club needs him to commit before trade week or trade him to Freo now whilst they have some damn good currency in pick 3.

This whole thread is proof that the Rising Star award just heaps a shed-load more pressure on a second year player.

If we don't keep Hogan then we will watch him become one of the games best forwards in another clubs colours.

I love this throw away "he needs to work on his kicking over summer". He needed to work on his kicking all bloody year. In recent years there have been a number of players (key forwards from other clubs) who have struggled with shots on goal for years, is Hogan the exception and can  fix his issues over 1 summer, we all hope so but what if he doesn't.

If he hasn't signed before trade week I'd want to know why ( as a club) . I just can't see us ( the Dees, a somewhat more savvy Dees) allowing it to not be sorted , one way or another by then. 

Good if he stays and gets his mojo on.  Fine if he goes and facilitates an A grade mid to us. 

It is after all , about a team. He ain't a team.

We can play ok and win games without him. We shouldn't be ever focussed nor reliant on one player.

Now it's his Play. Be interesting to see what he and the club do.

I agree, I don't think the club will let it get to trade period with no signature. I've harped on it but he needs to sign an extension or go to Freo and let us plan without him.

No he didn't...some kite flyer posted on here that he would sign on with us within 6 months...

I can't believe some of the critics, Jesse is a second year player, he's still miles ahead of any key forward i can remember in their second year in the modern history of the comp and he's definitely been down this year. 

Jesse will enjoy some time off, come back in shape, get his goal kicking sorted and i am backing him to kick 60 next year and get his contract sorted somewhere in between now and round 1, i reckon if he's going to request a trade he'll do it this off season.

Agree he is 21 and in his second year. he wouldn't be the first player to suffer 2nd year blues. I think his development will come from player further up field which ill demand he run and lead up instead of sitting in the square and going 1 on 1. I worry for next year with so many of the young guns coming into their 2nd tear next year and having similar struggles.

And if people want to classify it as 'second year blues', I've never seen second year blues as good as this.

True that, 15 possessions, 7 marks and 2 goals per game, 41 total for the season.  And this despite his last 6 games bringing just 3 goals, 11 behinds.

Easy to forget hes still just 21, doesn't turn 22 until February.   Next season and beyond he will be unstoppable, and hopefully its in a  Demons jumper.

............... not to forget the fact that he is double or triple teamed every week.

 

What about the demonlander whose dog barked at Jesse in the park?? What does he think will happen? ( or was it the girlfriend of the hairdresser whose dog played in the same park as Jesse once went to ?? ) I'm confused now.

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
