Melbourne chat to Jesse Hogan’s manager

73 Comments

Jesse Hogan’s manager Matt Bain rang Melbourne’s Manager Football Operations Josh Mahoney to tell him Jesse was putting off contract negotiations until next year.

Matt Bain: Hi Josh, it’s Matt Bain.

Josh Mahoney: Matt! So great to hear from you. I was just staring at a picture of Jesse actually.

Bain: Really? Why?

Mahoney: Nothing weird about staring at a picture of a 21-year-old footballer all morning Matt.

Bain: I guess… So I’m ringing about the contract negotiations.

Mahoney: Twenty years, $20 million. No, $30 million!

Bain: Mate, it’s not really my job to do this but you have to stop bidding against yourself. You’re coming across as a bit desperate.

Mahoney: I was just kidding Matt. Unless $30 million would get it done? Would it get it done?

Bain: Josh, I’m actually ringing to tell you Jesse wants to hold off on negotiations until next year.

Mahoney: (Muffled sobbing, interrupted by shrieking)

Bain: Josh are you OK?

Mahoney: I’m fine. I came on too strong didn’t I? I just really like him. The way he talks, the way he competently plays football. I can change, tell him I can change.

Bain: Josh, it’s not you, it’s Jesse. He really likes you, honestly. He just wants to take a bit of a break. Things have been pretty intense, probably moving a bit too fast.

Mahoney: It’s over isn’t it? Was it something I said? It was when I jumped out of that birthday cake. I knew it was stupid at the time.

Bain: No, no! He still really likes you it’s not over, it’s just a break. Lot’s of people do that and it all works out all the time.

Mahoney: No it doesn’t. Look at Buddy and Dangerfield. Is there someone else?

Bain: No! Certainly not.

Mahoney: It’s Ross isn’t it? I knew there was something. The way Ross looks at him.

Bain: Josh, you need to calm down. This is good for you too. A chance to clear your head.

Mahoney: I better go now.

Bain: Josh! It’s OK.

Mahoney: I just need to be alone for a few days.

(hangs up)

Jesse Hogan: How did it go?

Bain: Great! Really well, nothing to worry about.

Hogan: You didn’t tell him about Ross did you?

Bain: Oh lord no.
