The Jesse Hogan Panic Room - all contract talk here

We can win big either way ... if he stays, we should be able to develop him into a top grade footballer (he needs his kicking action reconstructed and the rest of his game should just keep getting better)

And if we have to trade him, he'll be in super high demand so we should be able to do a super deal.  In fact, nothing short of a super deal should be the level of thinking at the club.  There's a minority here who may think differently but outside of our club, any number of other clubs would want him on their books. 

I hope he stays though.

if he went it would be for home reasons. that leaves a 2 club choice, so i can't see the "super high demand" as if he was on the total market.

we are not in as strong a position as some think. that's not to say we couldn't do quite well if it came to that, but let's be realistic

I'm not convinced it's necessarily a go home factor at play despite what we keep hearing ... any number of Victorian clubs might make a play for him.  And we've seen huge contacts thrown up too - Buddy,  Boyd,  Scully,  Ablett etc.  Money talks.

Anything is feasible in a market such as the one we operate in.  Is there a Victorian club that couldn't do with a KPF like Hogan?  I'm convinced that's why he hasn't signed yet - his agent may well have fielded any number of offers.

don't put your house on it, macca. that's a very long shot

Fair enough

Many of us thought that Frawley was Geelong bound and he ended up at the Hawks.  Buddy to GWS?  Many here thought that Scully was staying ... etc etc.

I'm just a sceptic these days on sport ... I follow a lot of sports where players just up and leave or they get traded out as commodities.  And people are the same all over - what happens elsewhere can happen anywhere.

Would not be surprised if Collingwood are interested in Hogan. They have got rid of Cloke and Cox looks like a spud.

i think most clubs would be interested in hogan if he was genuinely interested in exploring the whole market

so far, there is only a suggestion of a go-home, family-related interest

Agreed.

Other clubs may well be interested, but I do not see Hogan wanting to leave Melbourne (the club) other than because he wants to go home (to Perth).

If he wants to stay in Melbourne, there will be other clubs who can give him a better contract than we probably can, but I doubt it will matter.

Any body know what Freoland is saying about the prime situation on their site or is it all quiet?

Well if we aren't going to do better than quite well then the contact could play out which would also allow  another year of development into Weideman and Huelett .Where Jessie  would go after that would be in the hands of the system. Seems to make a lot of sense that he would stick around with us for a number of reasons and I'm sure the club would be compassionate in terms of family matters.

Very sad to hear his dad is unwell. Probably time to let all the speculation rest for a while. 

 

Well, Andrew Gaff and Pick 13 and I'd probably learn to live with it.

Josh Kennedy isn't getting younger. Essendon fans think they're getting Darling, using what we give them for Hibberd... (good luck to them on that price)

The circle is complete, and a young Demons fan comes home.

 

Still would love Hogan to commit to us. In the end he's priceless, really.

I would cry if thats all we got for Jesse.

Gaff is the biggest downhill skiing midfielder in the AFL. Soft as butter. The stats will back me up on that.. he probably lays less tackles than any mid in the comp and gets a pathetically low number of contested possessions even for an outside mid.

 

 


The entire West Coast midfield is a bunch of downhill skiiers. Shown up two years in a row in important finals, and we nearly beat them a few months back on their home turf.

Gee, didn't mean to make you cry.

Maybe I'm confused. Must be a different Andrew Gaff I'm thinking of.

I'm talking about the one who won the best and fairest of a grand final team last year, and was his team's best in that grand final. The one who is still only 24, and fills a line-breaking and attacking link role which we are deficient in. 

Which one do you have in mind?

Thanks, your eloquence is only exceeded by your precision. So that is their name is it?

Wow.

I rarely read this thread but out of respect to members I thought I'd catch up and see if there was anything worthwhile.

I just can't wait for next year to watch Jesse turn green, rag doll opposition defenders drag in big pack marks and kick bags.

Thats gold chap, but you need to read more,  like SwordMolar's critique of the West Coast midfield or Andrew Gaff's musstaken identity, or page after page of 'discussion' over unsubstantiated rumours over Jesse, wouldn't miss it for quids

 

 

I wonder why the non-casey players havn't had their exit interviews yet?

I saw that Viney was in Thailand, maybe a few of them have?

Do they normally do them all together?
