Actually it's the other way. Barlow is going to tell Jesse how much the flying has hurt his back and affected his rehab after games, not to mention the wasted time involved in flying and getting to and from airports and sleeping in strange hotel beds, every second week of the footy season. He will also tell him that he fears it has shortened his footy career.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MICHAEL HIBBERD
Redleg replied to KC from Casey's topic in Melbourne Demons
I agree. We are a destination club for Essendon 26 year old half back flankers. Probably the main one, since we have got two in successive years. -
The Jesse Hogan Panic Room - all contract talk here
Redleg replied to Grapeviney's topic in Melbourne Demons
That is just so illogical. "I want to go home. My club could get a better deal now, if they trade me and I get home straight away, but no, I will get them a worse deal in a year, to repay them for all they have spent and done for me. No, I will play for less money on my old contract. I will stay in Melbourne this year and play a last year, when I know I am leaving and not committed to the future of the club. I will cop the media on my back each week and every performance will be over analyzed. I will not look my team mates and coaches in the eyes, as I know I am leaving. Yes that is what I will do." This missing family and friends argument really needs examination. I understand the current situation and would imagine that if family is the real reason, you would want to go home immediately.Why stay another year? These guys sign AFL Draft rules where they agree to play anywhere in Australia and then seek to break them. He is in Australia not overseas. He can talk to family every day by a multitude of electronic means. He can fly home a few times a year to see them. He is in a job paying great money and it is only for the next 10 years at a maximum. It will be easier on his back and long term health to fly less. It makes no sense to me. He needs to get back with his Melbourne girlfriend or find another. The club is doing the right thing in not pressuring him and letting him be with family during their crisis. He must appreciate that. I still think all of this hype, is Management driven, to secure a better deal from us. FWIW, I think he will stay beyond 2017. PS. The one fear I have, is that WC or Freo may have said we can't get you this year because of salary cap, or lack of trade currency, but we will get you next year, on a massive salary that they know we wouldn't match. That could explain staying this year, but again he could accept a smaller salary this year, so that sort of goes against my fear. Oh well who knows the truth, maybe not even Jesse at this point. -
With a ruler.

Obviously that has changed.

Why, they may think Egan is better.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MICHAEL HIBBERD
Redleg replied to KC from Casey's topic in Melbourne Demons
Ok, not the greatest. Very one sided. Will go hard and a nice left foot kick. Does have 80 odd games of experience. -
Joking, even though they are from Canberra I believe. I was throwing it in, in line with someone else who may want to go home.

No, I meant the others were being sarcastic, calling us a destination club, off the back of Hibberd coming. You didn't pick up on their sarcasm. -

Yes if they finish last. -
Either doesn't get on with Goodwin or got a better offer. Maybe Tigers.

Training in Melbourne. Has a Melbourne girlfriend living in New York.

Are you guys talking about Hibberd? He is 26 turning 27 next January.
-
Looks suss to me, as it is meant to sound official, but they wouldn't announce it.
-
Absolutely agree and as I said weeks ago the deal is done. Our current 2nd rounder is the deal. Expect it to be done on the opening Trade day.

Goldstein, Tarrant, Ziebell.

I expect him to work to his and the Club's timetable, not yours or other supporters. -

Redleg replied to Grapeviney's topic in Melbourne Demons
Basically my view as well. In his current family crisis we would appear [censored] to him, if we were hounding him about his contract. No doubt he will respect our sensitivity to his situation. As I said before and you have said similar, if it was a family reason to go home, he would tell us now, so that we could get a trade done this year and go home. If he doesn't say anything now, that to me indicates a likely extension of his contract with us will eventuate, when he has the clear head to discuss it. -

Hopefully Etihad might suit Sam better, but yes he was terrible.

More possessions and impact than quite a few Melbourne listed players. Garland, Kennedy, Weideman, White and Newton all had less impact on the game. Agree that he did nullify Meese, who unlike most Willy games, was not in their best players.
