Melbourne young gun Christian Petracca is hopeful Jesse Hogan will spurn big-money offers from rival AFL clubs to stay with the Demons long term.
Hogan, who is out of contract at the end of next season, is the sort of rare forward talent that other clubs will bend over backwards to lure.
But Petracca, speaking after he received the round nine rising star nomination, hopes his good friend and teammate will remain part of the new generation of young Demons that will take the club to their next premiership.
