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.

    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.

    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"

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      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.
