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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
