Jesse says 'we will take a 5/4 start to the season': http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2016-05-22/well-take-that-season-start-says-hogan

" Hogan said it was a genuinely positive start to the 2016 season for the club."  Have we exceeded his 'improvement' expectations?  One step close to getting his signature, perhaps. 

His performances over the the last month seem to have quietened his detractors making for more enjoyable footy for him.  Signs are all positive.  The outline of the new CBA will be known in the next month or two.  So, hopefully if he is to sign he will before end of the season. 

Yes MFC can only do what they are doing and that is have a strong, stable Club and keep winning games. One of my main concerns with Jesse is that when he started in the club his mentor and house mate was Mitch Clark and we all know what his thoughts were on loyalty and honesty...... Just hope those early days and any influence Mitch may have had on Jesse are all forgotten and he opens up negotiations soon  with the club.

NEEDS THE COACHING DEPT TO STRAIGHTEN THIS FLAW OUT!

I love your posts Picket.

They remind me that even when I think I'm stressing out with no reason, somebody is more of a deadest lunatic that goes off the handle and throws the toys out of the cot than I could ever be.  Bravo to you sir, you are an A grade nutter.

If I could lend you some meds I wouldn't, I'd poke you with a stick and give you new ammunition to worry you just so I can watch you go on....and on.....and on

and on.....and on.....and on.....

Noticed Dunstall said after the match in commentary that he doesn't think Hogan is going anywhere.

This from the latest article on Jesse:

Melbourne’s forwards were noted for their selflessness in sharing goals on Saturday, with Hogan saying they will get better the longer they stay together.

 

And if he has fun in a winning side, why would he want to leave the Demons?

“We are starting to get that chemistry. Everyone gets a lick (of the ice cream). Jeffy (Garlett) probably handed off five or six goals and Harmsey (James Harmes) got on the end of three Joe-the-Gooses in the last quarter and it’s just fun to play,’’ he said.

“The longer we can remain together, the more fun it will be.”

Doesn't sound like the words of someone who's leaving.

When Scully, Ablett, Buddy left there clubs the entire football world was saying it was going to happen about 12 months before it did.

At the moment everyone is saying Hogan will stay, that's a good sign.

Haha that would be sweet!

Coming from WA I hear a lot of Freo supporters sure he is coming to them. It would just be great if he signed a contract extension that week and then came out and kicked a bag of 6 or 7.

If Hogan wants to win flags he shoukd accept underva mil a year so we can retain our other good players an attract high quality FA. The Geelong model.is what we should be aiming for. 

Thinking this change of demeanour on the ground will soon reflect in a signature off it.

A certain person who works for Freo, is an expat Melburnian.  This person was in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago.  A friend of mine, who is a friend of this person, caught up for a drink.  This person, working for Freo, told my friend that Freo had "sealed" the deal.

My response to my friend?  You didn't need that second bottle of red and I will believe it, only when I see it.  My fingers remain firmly crossed.

Like I said, I told him I would only believe it, when I see it.

How could this be possible? Still contracted until end of 2017. I believe entering contacts with contracted players is not legal. (Yes I remember voldemort) How valid is an agreement that is illegal? Has the MFC done a trade- NO, so 2018 would be the earliest he could return to WA and a lot can change before then. I'm calling this B U L L S H I T

Did he say whether that was likely to be at the end of this year or next?  IMO, if Hogan doesn't sign up by the end of this season, he's leaving. He'd understand that his early signature/contract is important for the club's list management and potential success, in addition to membership and sponsorship. If he wants success at Melbourne, he'll sign early.

What position does he hold at Freo??

but the Freo forum said it! must be true!

Hmmm....Freo tanking  playing youngsters to improve their draft position to give to Melbourne (plus a quality player...Neale ?)  for Hogan. We bring on Weideman and Huelett as forwards next year and gain another quality mid....just saying....I hope Hogan stays, it's our turn at the top.
