Kent could be good for him to live with as well. A fellow West Australian, signed up until 2016, seems to me like a hard worker. I gather that he's quite close with Toump and Viney as well. I don't think the constant fretting on here is necessary; if I were a betting man I'd put money on him extending his contract.

Nice to hear Jesse and Tommy Hawkins caught up for coffee the other week, I believe at Tom's suggestion, to talk about Jesse's injury and help coach him through what would be a difficult period. Champion material right there.

Misson:

"“Jesse has come back from Perth and has improved a lot,” Misson said.

“We’d expect to start loading Jesse, from a running point of view, in a couple of weeks’ time. He’s probably four weeks after that before he’s even looking like he’s ready to play."

So optimistically 6, realistically 8?

I'd say they'll want to give him a taste of the Dees by the end of the year. One or two should do it and have him busting to pull on the guernsey for 2015!

The kid is living with Jack Viney... is there one other guy in the Dees list who you would prefer Jesse live with. You can count on Jack to have the personality, attitude and the passion for the club required to keep him interested.

His blind love for the club is sure to rub off.

until somebody offers $1 extra on his contract

He will need a month at Casey

If we are lucky he might play the last couple of games of the year for the Demons

They gave Grimes a game, last of the season, when he was injured and had problems with his back, it was just to give him a sample of what it was al about.

I'd like to see him play 3 or 4 matches with Casey, to test his back injury prior to next pre season.

A short-term depressive illness? Honestly...

What's sillier than discounting it is speculating about it.

Yeah, or "acute adjustment disorder with depression and/or anxiety" for those technical types.

One week at Casey and then wherever his form dictates. If the back is fine it'll be fine in either team. And if it's not it's got as much chance of playing up in either side.

He's one of those players that fans in the competition love to give it to, but good on him for offering advice on getting Jesse through this difficult time in his career.

If he gets a couple of games in before the end of the year I'll be happy.

Great gesture by Hawkins - a genuine champion in all aspects of life.

i think when he's ready to enter at VFL level he'll still be a couple of weeks off AFL fitness. the VFL games would get him some match fitness before any AFL hitout.

Bit rough.

We've got no indications yet that the kid is a mercenary.

it probably is rough - but the "bleed red and blue" cliche is highly overused. ( used in relation to Viney)

We laud Jones and his commitment - the same commitment that saw his last contract negotiations stall somewhat as Essendon put in a huge play for him.

I am always bemused by the "he aint going anywhere" statements because the reality is now that the greatest majority of AFL footballers will consider offers from other clubs for varying reasons.

I have now taken the stance that a player will either re-sign or he won't. I don't lose a minutes sleep over it anymore and after Scully i don't hold an opinion on any player at our club staying or going.

The only fact I cling onto is that if a Hogan wants to go to the Eagles or Freo, it will cost them plenty as they have to trade with us. Unless you are a free agent you cannot get to the club of your choice without our co-operation. The only way a non free agent player can walk for nothing is if he prepared to be drafted by a cellar dweller.

Or perhaps it was a very cleverly cloaked attempt at getting in his ear... Oh fark, he's going to Geelong!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
