Freo are in for a long re-build and we're super exciting! especially considering todays team was missing some absolute jets. 

I know which i'd choose

but staying or going Jesse was much better today! i think we should keep him up the ground! our marking around the ground with Gawn, Pederson and Hogan was huge today

    I don't know if the early games/NAB Cup he was instructed to be more stay at home but now that he's getting more of the ball in the Half Forward line he's looking a lot better. 

    He's clunking marks and kicking goals, what more could you want from a still developing forward!

    Compared to round 1 where he was barely offering a lead he looks much better with a bit of time up the ground.

    He'd be mad to go to Freo who are going back to the start of their rebuild when we are finally coming out of ours. And screwing up his career by playing for boring-ass Ross Lyon!

    He wouldn't know who the coach of Freo is as Ross Lyon has been in discussion with the Suns, he think can take them to a losing Grand Final as long as Zac Dawson is allowed to follow.

    He is lovable young man and will mature over the coming two years as we win more games. There is nothing like being in the centre of footy, ask Bernie (Gabe's Favorite) Vince why he moved here and the difference to a satellite town.

    Jesse, we love you and you expect 6 goals a game and are disappointed when it doesn't happen, it will happen soon, just be patient.

    He just signed a long term deal with the dockers.

    I think the coaching staff are using him better. Some time deep and some time up the ground. Firstly makes us less predictable and on Hogan himself he is very aerobic so if you sit him deep the whole time and clog up the space in front of him you can put more of plodder on him - but once you move him up the ground you have to adjust your thinking and have someone on him who can cover ground.

    Yeh he was needing to be moe than a goal square sitter or moving around the 40 meter area. Still has a way to go in terms of knowing when to place himself higher up the ground when opponents are coming in under pressure from HB thru mid or wide (when he's sitting back there and not playing high). Doesn't read this part too well yet. WIll improve with experience and coaching here so just a matter of time and more games. Recall Brad Green doing the same in his first season or 2.

    Looks very comfortable and solid decision maker when up the ground so why not go there and take his opponent out of his comfort zone. Big body to have roaming around other mids also. Footsteps.

    I recall Brad Green ripping it apart in the final against Carlton in 2000.

    Referring to games during the season Iva (not all of them lol)... but yes that was a great effort on the day. I was at that game. Most players had a day out. Was a great finals series for us apart from the finish.

    We're doing exactly what we need to do, which is win games and generally be on an upward trajectory. To be a club where any player would want to be.

    Beyond that it's out of our hands and not worth worrying about.

    Very good today. Not bad at all for a decoy.

    I would love him to just be a stay at home forward who owns the 50 and kicks bags of goals every other week, but having him roam CHF/wing and drop back towards the goals allows him so much more freedom to attack the game and just be a presence to impose himself. He was great yesterday, dropped one sitter on the flank and missed the snap in the last after I'd already jumped up to celebrate thinking it was a monty, but other than that couldn't fault him.

    Judging by the way he screamed in delight at the end of the team song, Id say he loves the club and his team-mates

    This thread will look really really silly when he signs on with us at seasons end on a huge long term deal

    Hope so - I did notice in the post game interview on the MFC website when they asked him about Howe he kind of mumbled something about no hard feelings after a player leaves a club but hopefully it's just my own neuroses seeing things that aren't there. :wacko:

    Understood Rusty, but if we can even approach that level of final performance in a final's series in the next couple of years, I will be extremely happy.

    If Max goes down we are comprehensively and royally [censored].

    So true. If anyone tunnels him or injures him in a sling tackle, I'll be hunting them down.

    The reach of your gaze is beyond my comprehension Iva. Mine goes only as far as this week for a possible 2 in a row. I admire your willingness to dream a little.

    For quite sometime, that's all we've really had.  Only difference this time is that the dreams seem somehow more real.

    Does Wayne Carey deserve a pat for this? No coincidence that after the that meeting something has clicked for him.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
