Was ok with Jesse staying or leaving, but the longer this drags out I find myself getting a bit irritable that he’s putting his fans through it (again)...

that said don’t know the full story, so prepare to park it till I hear more.

Yes, and “as it sits now we expect Jesse to be playing for Melbourne next season”.

Freo would’ve bristled at that.

Mahoney copped criticism from some last year for appearing too accommodating to Adelaide over Lever. Well, we are seeing his hard arse bonafides here in no uncertain terms. Great stuff.

Absolutely loved that.?????

Freo have cold feet. it's not no, but it's far from yes.

I know why, but I like my house and don't want to lose it for slander.

Only slander if not true !! ;)

The truth will set you free

There is another week of this to go aswell. Its a waiting game from both Freo and the Dees.

Hogan is NOT a free agent next year. If he leaves next year it will be exactly the same circumstances as this year except he could potentially threaten to walk to the draft.

Restricted or unrestricted or unsigned, who cares. We all know where the power lies.... agents and players


So 198 pages and he still hasn’t actually made up his mind? I understand it’s not an easy decision and the fact it’s taking so long does give credence to the idea he enjoys living in Melbourne and being a Demon. But really this is dragging on. 

And if he does decide to stay I Josh the club is saying to him stay long term, we don’t want to go through this circus again in 12 months time.

Firstly, it's "they're".

Secondly, I have no clue why you directed this silly post at me.

Your'e safe from slander. Libel I'm not so sure.  But a question for the legal eagles on here.  Can you  be sued for saying "I won't say anything about X. He might sue me."

<just doing what I can to get to 200> 

actually one of the leading libel by internet cases in Oz involves a man formerly very much involved with the MFC

The reality is, a top 10 pick and Steven May as a result of dealing Hogan is absolutely the return we should be receiving. I'd give 1 or 2 picks in the second round to make it happen too

C’mon ProDee you’re smarter than that. Brinkmanship 101. Laughably obvious in truth.

Gotta agree with Bruce Lee here.

I don't know if Hogan is going or staying, don't know his state of mind, don't know how strong Freo's interest is, or anything much really...

But Freo's tactics are like any bloke who's ever bought a second hand car. Tyres are a bit bald .... cams sound worn ... is that windscreen roadworthy? Yeah nah mate ... dunno ... if you come down a couple of grand I might bite ...

They just want us to give a sign that we'll accept a lowball offer. It's up to us to say, well make up your mind quickly, mate. I've got another bloke coming at 12 and he sounds keen.

Main difference is that in this case, the car gets to say if it wants to be sold.

Great analogy MazerRack. Spot on. In fact I sold my Xtrail not long ago through Carsales and had to go through EXACTLY that rigamaroll.

In the real estate game it’s called ‘undermining vendor confidence’.

Ok what about.......

Getting Jesse to agree to a new long term deal and putting good $$$$ On the table 

AND if he says NO then hawking him around to all other clubs for best deal MFC?

Rationale is if he is not a solution to the problem. he is part of the problem!

Cant have it both ways Jesse either commit for long haul or we will act in best interests of MFC

One year left on contract means little if he leaves next year !!

Well the answer is, " how has that statement damaged someone's reputation"?

I would think pushing it uphill to get to first base.

At a time when players are nominating clubs, signing contracts and stating intentions, the a Hogan camp is ridiculously quiet. 

 

Trade Lowdown just said decision by tomorrow night

What if they have already spoken to us and the Dockers and the rest is spin?

He's staying. Considering about 20% of the online ads I'm now getting are for Hogan.com apparel, Jesse's career is obviously a giant marketing campaign for them.  They're not gonna cut it short now by putting him in Perth.

They want us to panic, that's there whole tactic.

I'm thinking Melbourne have told Hogan they will trade him if there is a deal reached with fremantle, but the Hogan camp doesn't want it made public in case an agreement can't be reached and he stays at melbourne.

Unfortunately we can't say, "you can have it now for $X, otherwise I've got Mr and Mrs WCE on their way in to take it for a drive and they're bringing their cheque book, first in best dressed"

Hogan currently on the ink in Bali with a bunch of mates!! Didn't look to be to concerned about much!!! This was today in Seminyak. Maybe he's celebrating an eminent long termer with the dees!!!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
