Wow, you go off the Internet for an hour... But absolutely brilliant news!

It might be an obvious statement to make, but I'll be the first to predict that Jesse is going to have an absolute belter of a 2017 season. Getting this contract done before the start of next year will surely remove a lot of stress from Jesse's mind. 

For those who missed his interview on trade radio (myself included), Josh Mahoney will be on SEN at 10:25

I went and had a shower once, and when I came back, Paul Roos was our coach.

Mahoney on SEN this morning, (paraphrasing):

  • Club confident Jesse would want to stay, despite recent speculation
  • No ultimatum ever put to Jesse
  • Think Hogan and Weideman can be a lynch pin for us for years to come
  • Hogan, in his exit interview, was very disappointed with his last 5 weeks and keen to have a big 2017

Good to see all the rubbish written about an 'ultimatum' put to bed!

Oh no My prediction was wrong.

I am slipping that is the second time I have been wrong in the last 20 years.

Must be the ageing process.

So at least OD's guts didn't have to hold out till May. Happy Days all round!

Club has managed this superbly. For this to not get out, given the level of speculation, is remarkable.

I've had a lot of mail about Hogan in the last month. but it was wildly conflicting and not worth sharing, other than the 5 years or eff off now yarn. Even that I only posted because the source was impeccable.

Clearly he signed for less time than what was on the table. But signs of a rock solid club not sweating under the spotlight.

One of the very few posters with insider info that I trust.

Keep posting C.I.P

This management team we have is quite something now, isn't it?

Compare this to how theseThings were handled in a previous administration and it is like day and night.

Ever day I get more impressed with the way our club is now being run.

I'll just add

  • Mahoney said we traded future draft picks last season because we wanted Weideman
  • Don't expect us to be active this trade period (Had previously mentioned helping Dunn get a trade and obtaining Hibberd)

Yea totally agree. So much of this is about "kultcha". Says a lot that he wanted to stay despite the lure of home. We're really going to be reflecting on Paul Roos' legacy a lot in the future. Let that reflection start with signings like this

Heard someone on SEN yesterday say they had spoken to Hogan's old man and there was no family "pull factor". They're very happy with Melbourne.

So he has signed a two yr extension on his current contract which will take him up to 2019 with his current term included. 

So that gives us one season not to talk about his next contract extension!

Thats gunna be fun when it all starts again!

in all seriousness congrats to Jesse and the MFC.

2 year deal is perfect for both parties. It gives the dees a chance to open up our premiership window, then gives Jesse the choice of money v success in 2 years time. We don't overpay Jesse in the meantime, and Jesse gets to see if the club can deliver a chance to play finals footy before making his next decision. 

Great news!!!

2019 - just right!

Either we're primed for a flag - in which case he'll stay ....... or we're not in contention - in which case we'll need to push the reset button ..... by going forward without him.

Just about got all the bases covered - unless of course we've won it already!

No more dreaming Dees - just get out there - and do it!!

I am happy to hear he has signed and committed. While I am not as confident in Hogan becoming a superstar as others on Demonland, he is still a very good player and could potentially end up being a great one. This needed to happen prior to trade week IMO given his trade value and contract size, so it is a bit of a relief it is all over.

Welcome to the Melbourne Football Club, Jesse Hogan. Despite all the gushing from many a fellow Demonlander , and that's their prerogative, this for mine is the first real sign he has and will be a Melbourne player let alone a possibly great Melbourne player. This is my opinion granted but up til he signed he had not bought in. Now he has, it would seem and thats a Good win for the Dees.

As I suspected, something had to give before friday. It has and it a very hearty sign for things to come

 

go you good club.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
