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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
