The Jesse Hogan Panic Room - all contract talk here

May I suggest that what we need is a new system of semi-banning where people get restricted to 'x' posts per day.

They'll all have to set a higher bar on what bait and snark they can be bothered engaging with, toss most of it out, and we'll be left only with the actual useful stuff that more than two people (the mutual antagonists) actually would be interested in.

It would make this thread about 800 posts shorter.

Agree Goffy - far too many perverts on this site.

That Ethan Kneetremble fellow from out west is foremost  among them!

We need a moderator like Stuie to sort things out. ( at least once we broke him of the habit of quoting himself).

Why the [censored] would he quote himself?

While it would be disappointing to lose Hogan, I think we would be well compensated and have shown we can win games without him.

The Hawks lost Buddy Franklin, possibly in the 5 greatest forwards of all time and went on to win 2 more flags.

It's all about the club culture and I think we are starting to get it right so I'm not worried either way. 

Edit: Plus the most important thing in today's game is to have a strong midfield, which we are on our way to amassing a very good one.

I'm not a huge fan of this comparison.  The Hawks were fresh off a flag and had runs on the board when they lost Franklin.  We are far from being anything like Hawthorn, so I'm not sure we can be so flippant about it (flippant may not be the right word, but hopefully you know I mean).

The point I'm making is this will not be the end of our club and we will continue with or without him.

They also got about 8 years of service out of Franklin before he got an offer he couldn't refuse.

It would be incredibly disappointing to lose Hogan after 4 years.

I get that, and of course we will continue without him, but will we be as successful without him at the club?

Hawthorn were able to handle losing Franklin, and win more flags, because they were already well set up with their culture and they still had plenty of experienced talent on their list.  Can we say the same about us?  Down the track we might, but I don't think we're as prepared as we think we are for losing a 21 year old who already has 80+ goals to his name.

I personally believe we are, but time will tell.

Fair enough mate, we all see it differently.  I hope you are right, but as you say, time will certainly tell.

I hope I am as well! Though my preference is for Hogan to sign a 5 year deal and stay with his mates.

hes gone fellas. deep down we know it, but its taking a few a while to admit it to themselves. a big loss nevertheless.

I'm beginning to think that too, there have been too many just like it and they almost always end up leaving. If so, get on with it, we are in a good position as a club and we don't need this distraction, get a trade done or sign up, it can't be that hard. 

I'm sure he knows what he wants to do.

Read into it however you like.. But by the way his manager is speaking it does seem like he is gone.

 

Another Tom Scully or James Frawley situation. Honestly, its sucks, its sucks really bad.

“Jesse will come home and see where his head space is. It is making a decision to be with Melbourne or a request to come home. Nothing has been finalised.”

Hogan bought a house in Perth this year but it is understood it is a renovation project with his brother as an investment, rather than future home.

funniest thing about ET's photo shop gag and the response thereafter is that Saty seems to be completely oblivious to the fact that ET's profile pic is Zach Galifianakis and seemingly thinks that ET is actually claiming to be there hahahaha

No I knew who it was, sorry I'll fall about laughing now, I shoukd have understood that my respnse would be too cerebral for followers of the Hangover franchise.

It's late and Jesse seems to be gone to Freo, so I won't get lambasted for derailing the thread, I will be sorry to see him go if it eventually turns out to be true, but he is one player.....assume the club will have contingencies to cover

Roos wasn't filling me with confidence tonight on Fox, mentioning how well Melbourne will be compensated if Jesse leaves (to the point that we'd be paid significant overs and hinting we'd end up better off).

Sounded very, very similar to his talk before Frawley left, where he kept going on about pick 3 (fully aware we'd been told that was our compo).

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
