Jesse, in his presser flagged the idea of coming back via vfl in an orderly manner and hopefully on the paddock before the eos.

Not sure why you wouldnt play one of your greatest assets if fit

All we need for Jessie now is a long-term love interest from Melbourne.

$1,000,000 deal and he played 0 AFL games. Hope he worth it.

Even if he wasn't worth it the deal finishes in 3 years time. It's not as if he is on 1 mill a year for the next 5 years. It's a fair deal, reflective of his potential and the FA market. We need to get used to that.

Think of it as a "F-off WA clubs" premium. I'm more than comfortable with it.

And it is not like we don't know what we are getting - he dominated the VFL as an 18 year old.

I don't understand why supporters are so hung up on how much we are paying him.

If he left, it would have been to an even bigger pay packet from another club and you would be whinging about him leaving even more...

Just a mild case of the Syndrome. It's fine.

Actually I saw Jesse at the Bulldogs match with a very attractive young female companion in tow. Either that or she was stalking him, so hard to tell these days.

Does being a good VFL player mean you will make it at AFL level?

Not sure you been listen to Roos lately if you have that belief.

no guarantees in this world but as a 17 year old he went to Casey won the goal kicking and B&F on limited games. Looked great in the games he played. He looks a class above that competition at his young age.

If you said to Roos "Hogan dominating the VFL as a teenager means nothing" - what do you think he would say?

The last thing you would want to do is subject him to Casey, get him fit and play him as a sub in a few games.

I think this is whats been discussed with him...not his idea per se.

He may well be a champion but I will with hold my judgement one way or the other until he plays real AFL games and not the NAB cup. I still remember when Carton won the pre season cup and finished last on the ladder for the regular season.

Super stuff Mr. Positivity. A young bloke, who is a huge part of our future, signs a new deal and there are still some who have to bring the tone down.

I bet he will be the most underpaid player in the AFL in 2017

And if we didnt give him this money now someone else would have anyway

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
