2 extra years is good for the club. It will then know just how good he is, rather than be paying long, big contract, largely on promise.

Good point.

Also gives us 2 extra years to plan for what will inevitably be a mountainous offer from other clubs when he becomes RFA

Ball is back in our court. Kudos again to  the MFC for the way we played this.

 

Hey @TGR, what do you think of this?

    Amazing stuff, made my hour long drive into work so much better when I heard this.

    I wonder if AFL Trade Whisperer made it to 4K followers on twitter?

    Wonderful news, I really couldn't see a way we could have "won" if he'd left...Goody has the best Melbourne list to work with in a long time that's for sure!

    In the Fairfax papers trade article today:

    "Convincing Jesse Hogan to open negotiations on extending his contract beyond the end of next year is the biggest priority.

    Michael Gleeson"

    I couldn't agree more.  Great move by Jesse and the club unless there was a Dangerfield type player up for grabs in the trade period, retaining Jesse is so much better than anything elese on offer.

    Very, very good news. A five year deal would have been perfect, but hopefully the club is entrenched in the top 8 by the end of three years.

    [censored] yeah!!! Hopefully this helps put a nail in the coffin of MFCSS. We're on the right track and have a good group of guys to build the club around. We hung on to Tyson, McDonald and Hogan. The future is bright, the future is now.

    Jesse will have a press conference in Perth @ 4.30 EST.  Looking forward to hearing him declare himself a Demon!

    Now, the club can really get its list management strategy going.  Just a couple more key players to lock down.

    Go Dees!!

    Yes, even if we got an early first round pick, what's the value in that if you can not retain them once they actually become dominant players, rather than just players with high potential.  Incubating players for other clubs like we did with Scott Thompson and $cully is a no returns game.

    I just hope we can lock in the gun group of young mids we have coming through like Pratracca, Brayshaw, Oliver, Hunt and Co when it comes time.

    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

    Who were the media who said he would go?

    Very sensible decision on his part. With an uncertain family situation he would not have wanted to commit for too long. So everyone a winner here. It suggests to me he really wants to be with the club and be part of building the team.

    Well done, now for that kicking rehab.

    What a joyful morning it's been for Freo and West Coast supporters. Hogan signs with us and now Rory Lobb signs with the Giants.

    Freo's next target was Rory Lobb who just announced a two year extension. Surely Hogan and Lobb announcing extensions on the same day was prearranged to inflict pain on Fremantle. Sometimes it's a wonderful thing working in Fremantle.

    I'm not claiming it. Someone posted it last night and pointed it out

    Great to have Jesse sign on!

    A lot of credit to Josh Mahoney once again; he has this list humming along very, very nicely.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
