HOGAN LOCKED IN UNTIL END OF 2019

Delighted he has signed on.

Will take a lot of pressure off him and I'm sure we will see him fulfill his potential to be a champ, in the red and the blue!

Thanks Jesse!

Jesse's comments: “What excites me about Melbourne is the young talent we’ve got. We feel like we are building something special and that’s something I want to be a part of...“Goody (Simon Goodwin) has been great; we’ve got a really close relationship and I think he is going to be great for me personally next year and the rest of the boys as well".

Thanks Goody! 

Amazing news.  Yeah, a 4 year deal would have been better, but he is playing for us for the next 3 years and we can now focus on becoming a consistent footy side that plays finals.  Bloody brilliant stuff, couldn't be happier.

America de Cali will be very disappointed.  What a shame.

Thank god for that.

 

to the pub!!

Massive. Huge. Awesome. 

Praise be to Jesse and the MFC.

Yes just read on MFC website.

Sensational news.

Thanks Jesse.

Lets unleash hell in 2017 !!

He is a key plank in our next premiership side. 

“Obviously a lot has been made of me being a Perth boy, but the Club has been great in allowing me to head home when I can and that’s something that’s made my decision much easier. They’ve been really good with my situation and something that I am really appreciative of.”

In before someone sooks about the length of the contract.

Great news!

Only 2 more years hey?

Clearly gone at the end of this contract.

Damn @Nasher

Beat me by a few seconds.....

Well that's quite good news!

Called it that it would be sorted before trade period. Was confident the club would have traded him if he didn't re-sign before that period. Zero chance they would have gone into 2017 without having him sign an extension.

Will Hogan by a free agent by the end of 2019?

Excited dry retching.

Well done Dees for giving him time but also not being pushovers.  got it done by trade period.

Thanks for staying Jesse!

Not unless they change the FA period to 6 years before then.

At least now I can concentrate on my work without having to look at the Hogan contract thread 25 times a day

Wonder how many opinions of his playing ability and attitude will change now he has re signed?

 

Great news Jesse, and well done to the Footy team for getting the job done.

I disagree. But it is the very defintion of a moot point

Hogan will become a free agent at the end of either 2020 or 2021 I believe

But he will have been with the club 7 years by then. Doesn't the first year count because he could only play with Casey?

He will be an RFA at the end of this contract under current rules.  

 

I remember reading the AFL have stated that 2013 as a 17 yo counts towards FA status. 

Great news, unsure of why anyone would be disappointed about the length of the deal, or why the assumption is that he'll be gone after this one.

Who knows what the situation will be like in three years. Perhaps he'll fall more in love with the club and his team mates by then. 

A monumental signing.

You just made it.

A big boost for the club. You can't continue to have your good players walk out year after year.
