we have to think left field for sure.

Harry Who ?

thanks Bob....er I mean Ernie

Has to happen occasionally !! But tis good eh. I think its a very good result all round. and we move on...and upwards etc. Will be interesting to see how Goody rejigs the game plan to more his style and how he will utilse the style of player that Jesse is. He already has a bit of a tank so maybe he might mrph into something many wouldnt suspect... a marauding go anywhere follower. In many respects he wasted just camping in the forward 50 and I think we're developing others to play more that role. Exciting times ahead. Will be interesting to see what knock on effect his retention might have to any others considering our club ?

dont need Tippett. Need something in the middle. After Hibberd I cant see us doing much but maybe targeting someone to better our mids stocks. Player mightnt be that A grader everyone wants just someone who betters the overall mix.

Welcome to the Melbourne Football Club, Jesse Hogan. Despite all the gushing from many a fellow Demonlander , and that's their prerogative, this for mine is the first real sign he has and will be a Melbourne player let alone a possibly great Melbourne player. This is my opinion granted but up til he signed he had not bought in. Now he has, it would seem and thats a Good win for the Dees. As I suspected, something had to give before friday. It has and it a very hearty sign for things to come go you good club.

Id do that deal

in late news Cloke is being linked to Collingwood as front runners for his services

nothing has happened that we KNOW of..... that WE know of !!

time will tell...lol

Brisbane appoint new coach

and it might not a direct deal...might be a multi club thing...just saying. Melbourne are very good at the lateral these days

thats true....but it might not be with picks

I think he's been the object of a lot of attention for years. He's now beginning to understand how to deal with it, on and off the field. imho

thats quite clever

I actually think the contrary. I would have thought this is by far the better year to trade. Next year we're backed into a corner

unless Essendon

take some.....may help[ !!!

Not really Old. More along the lines that I would think something would need to give before friday. I really cant see the club going into next year with this as an unknown, nor can I see them wanting to even go into next week without some certainty as to Mister Hogans commitment. Its all well and good for some to remind us that he still has a year left but as it was he or his /and or his management that stalled things I should have ask y why. There was no indication back then of the family situation other than possible go-home-itis. His Fathers health may well put a different spin on things but why that cant be resolved to everyones best outcome ? If this is purely about money, resolve it. If this IS about family, that too can be resolved ( as far as can be helped ) Any which way , announcement or whatever , I expect something to happen before Friday and yes we'll be 4 days older

A tireless worker. Not always the most adroit but never gives up. Seldom has colours lowered. Hopefully the success he's dedicated himself to comes his/our way.

something will happen by friday...its just what

Thanks Chris

Missed him this year. 2017 ought to be a cracker with him.

Agree, he's building. He's not alone and that's fine. A good preseason ( and gee we love to place that caveat on them , but it's so true ) will see him step up a bit again. He may not hit his real straps til 2018. That's ok by me. He has tenacity for the game. He also sees those little 1% opportunities and pounces.. Great peripheral ability.
