It will get done- not too worried about it.

I'd say the assumption is that picks are always going to slide each year with free agency and academy picks. I imagine we are wanting to use our current 2nd round pick on another deal.

I was more thinking we could go for the record in a single season. I then discovered that GWS have the record with 8 in 2012! Interestingly 2 of those nominations were D Tyson and T Bugg.

That's pretty disappointing as if he had been eligible we could be going for 4 or 5 nominations this season!

Petracca or Stretch for Rising Star this week? Is Stretch eligible after playing 11 games last season?

I was just about to post this….. wonder if it will fast track a deal?

That is hyperbole at its finest. Supporters care about wins, if we keep winning they will keep coming.

Very different situation with their salary concessions at the time..... thankfully they are being wound back!

I think Hogan will need to decide if he wants to win premierships or earn an extra 100-200k a year. He will definitely be well paid with us but any side that wants to win flags can't pay one player an exorbitant amount in comparison to the rest of the side.

Nothing to worry about, Misson mentioned he just had to spend 4-6 hours away from training....

I would say the back up plan would be 'Freo you give us Lachie Neale and your first pick in 2016 (looking likely to be in the top 5/6). He will stay and play in multiple flags......

Can we get some New Era ones made up? *Tongue in cheek

I imagine it would be a promise to all the players at the club not just Jesse- that we would stabilise and grow the club to be one of the best. PJ and PR have got that right on track now we just need on field success to solidify it.

His mark against the Dogs suggests he could be. He is about 4cm shorter than Fyfe at the moment but this could change over the next year,

The thing I like is that everyone mentioned the game on the weekend was more at AFL level intensity and he seemed to thrive on that and go up a level. Plus that 45m snap was something else for a first year player.

I view Parish as a Marc Murphy style player who will be silky skilled, move well and will be an above average footballer. I view Oliver as having the potential to be a Dangerfield/Judd type player who turns entire games and does the freakish things.... Hope I'm right!

He still has TWO years left! It is a total beat up and yes of course they know it will sell some papers because he is going to be one of the best players in the competition. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I am not worried at all and believe he will re-sign some time during pre-season for the 2017 season.

The Jesse Hogan contract media attention is such a massive beat up! The 2016 season hasn't started yet and he is contracted for the 2017 season. Calm down people there is a lot more important things in life to worry about....

I think he will sign the extension before the start of next season after bagging 60 goals this year and the team on the cusp of finals.......

I genuinely believe he could be our best midfielder in a couple of years time. Even better than Brayshaw and Viney (I see Petracca as more a fwd/mid)

I grew up in Perth and moved to Melbourne three years ago. I personally hate going back there (have to see family) as I find the place boring and backwards. I could understand why he would much prefer Melbourne as I believe as an 18-30 year old it is now easily the best place to live in Australia. Sydney lost that mantle with their ridiculous prices and new lock-out laws.

That first mark and goal was very impressive. Here's hoping he is over his on-going injury issues and can develop into a gun full forward.

Thanks for that ProDee!

Does anyone know where to find the video of his game against the Blues VFL side?

Think of it this way RTG, he dominated the TAC cup coming off OP and looking slightly overweight. Once he is in AFL physical condition who knows what level he can get to. He has already matched it with men in the VFL which is another plus.
