The Jesse Hogan Panic Room - all contract talk here

Featured Replies

Never discount the possibility that someone somewhere is LYING to muddy the waters and gain some kind of advantage, and it may be in a deal that does not involve Hogan. It may be that they think it will help their manouvering with McCarthy, or that it will force up Hogan's price with us and screw up our player payments ... who knows.

What position does he hold at Freo??

Can't say, as that would reveal the person's name.  And who said it was a "he"?

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.

I totally agree with this Mo.  We won't know of course, but I reckon the MFC will be saying by the end of this year, we need to know Jesse, as we have to plan for the future.

but the Freo forum said it! must be true!

Written at the start of April ...

"Hogan, who grew up in Western Australia, may be tempted by the offer to return to his home state with a club that is further along in its chances of securing premiership glory than the struggling Demons."

Ha.

 

Far out I would gutted if this is true. 

people thinking we'll be fine based on 2 untried youngsters are kidding themselves.  Hogan will be one of the top 10 players in the AFL for the next 10 years and losing him could be the difference between winning a flag or not

So could keeping him if the price is too high.

Unless it is the Snr coach, list manager or head recruiter then it's all crap.  There is no way the whole footy would know who was being brought in or being pushed out.  Especially when it comes to a big fish

I let my friend know about your sage observations.

Edited by iv'a worn smith

the issue with jesse is that in order to 'land' him, freo will have to give up something that we want.

 

they will have high end draft picks this year, at any rate, but no guarantee that they won't rise up the ladder at the end of the year to be a major contender in 2017.

 

i don't know what young talent they really could offer for us to lose one of the most exciting kpp talents to ever emerge - jesse is doing things in his first two years that it takes 'normal' kpp forwards up to five years to start to achieve.

 

he's a freak, and i don't know how freo could possibly satisfy our 'demands' for him.

Fremantle supporters are delusional suggesting an offer of Taberner or Barlow and a 2nd round pick for Hogan. 

Not that he's going anywhere it's just fun to laugh at Dockers fans.

Being in contention for a flag or not. Making finals or not. Having a strong culture or not. Increasing member numbers or stagnating.

Is this panic room thread padded?

 

Seriously though, lets weigh up the differences: -

At Fremantle...

  • Retiring and aging Pavlich & Sandilands
  • A freak of a player in Fyfe with huge ?? on his body
  • An aging list - Johnson, Mundy
  • Lack of upcoming development
  • Chris Mayne (eek)
  • Heave ho, way to go....(not even a theme song)
  • Zac Dawson
  • An annoying Ballantyne
  • A wayward Bennell
  • Flying around the country twice every 2nd week.
  • Average surfing spots, Shark sightings.
  • Toothless drugged up violent fans
  • 0-9 record; 68%, 18th position
  • Swan Lager
  • Alan Bond
  • You'd go colour blind looking at a purple haze
  • And a coach who is about to re-develop this aging list which may take several years (no experience in re-developing)...:

  • Jones
  • Petracca
  • Oliver
  • Viney

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

That is correct MD. However, there is nothing that prevents an "in principal" agreement having been reached with his manager. I would put nothing past Freo after the Lyon snatching. The Demons should be ruthless with this and offer a super long term (6+ year!?) contract to seal the deal at our end IMO. We also need to win every possible game from here and hopefully make finals. All starting this week against the Power away from home.

I'm also hoping that Freo keeps losing, creating turmoil within the Club (and without). One of the rare times i will barrack for the Saints this Saturday. 10 - Zip is going to look like an extremely ugly "send in the administrators!" balance sheet if they lose.

Would anyone of Jessie's calibre really want to join a struggling wooden spooner at the prime of their career with the ugly "Lyon" method of play no longer valid in today's game? They would have to offer a ridiculous sum/overs to obtain him, possibly squeezing out the chance of putting a decent team around him (if he did accept) going forward, limiting their (and Jessie's) potential chance of any medium term success.

Yep their supporters are that stupid.

Other suggestions were Lachie Neale but i've heard he's going to re-sign with the Dockers within a week or so.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
