If we are going to improve, it just as likely will happen without him. It is not a one man show and thats the way we are heading with him. Having an awesome talent like his might make him too big for a modest club like us and end up a millstone. Like Lockett at the Saints, Richardson at the Tigers and many other sides that pinned their fortunes on one big key forward for zero flags. Plus I was annoyed at some of his Prima Donna hissy fits last season. Not a good indicator. If he wants to go, then goodbye and good luck. I just hope we are prepared.

incredible post

based on very little evidence youve gone and

a) lied to yourself that he is not that importnat a player, in fact we might be better off without him (are you friggin kidding me)

b) slagged off the bloke personally

c) completely resigned yourself to the fact he is gone

weakest, most pathetic post I've read in a long time

we obviously need to urgently trade him off next year for 2 first round picks plus extras while we still have some control

ffs

Why wouldn't he buy a house in Perth?

He is from there guys, his probably buying an investment so then his football career is done he has something to fall back on.

Smart move in my books, Perth is a buyer market at the moment.

Why would you worry after TS it's not worth it Christ you or a family member could wake up sick tomorrow hug your family and be there round 1.

Maybe the deal and contract he will sign up for with Melbourne has given him the confidence to invest in some real estate?

Sorry, but you don't buy a house to live in it for 6 weeks of the year. Investment property hopefully, but it's a clear sign that he intends on moving back to Perth one day.

Fair call. He could be looking after family though. Investment/looking after family/holiday house in offseason.

Relax-he bought a bottle of Angostura Bitters at the supermarket the other day.

They last for several years and there would be no reason to buy one if he is not going to use it all.

bit like bbo buying a packet of contraceptives at the chemist. he may be intending to use them but in all likelihood they will still be inused in his wallet in 2 years time

New message came through..

#firsthomeowner

Just to be clear, the pic on his Instagram is of three blokes standing on the balcony of what seems to be a waterfront mansion.

Jesse's comment is: The story of the 3 pigs.

Somebody else has commented: #firsthomeowner

How anyone can surmise anything from that is beyond me, especially given the way these guys talk sh*t on social media.

Also, the post is more than a week old. If Jesse really has bought a huge riverside mansion in WA, we would have heard about it by now.

Take it easy, Grape.

The boy sent me a text, I posted a new topic based on what he told me.

Sorry, I don't do Instagram.

hehe this thread is classic Demonland. just lol at the paranoia and apocalyptic overtones

I have faith Jesse will be a 1 club player, he just seems a loyal guy who understands how much time and patience the MFC put into him and he will want to repay that. He has some very close mates at the club and I feel that side of things would be very important to him. Hes just a laid back bloke that doesnt seem to be in the business of screwing anyone over or intending to.

He is ours and we are assembling a damn exciting team around him.

Wasn't having a crack, Jumbo, just putting a bit of flesh on the bones and explaining the context.

I also edited the title to make it a little more circumspect, lest we have a spate of heart attacks among the Demonland community.

Does anyone know FACTUALLY not speculatively, does he own property in Melbourne? If I had the cash and prospects that he has, I would be buying up too. At least he doesn't seem to be spending it like Trapper did on the punt.

Some of the posts here are truly embarrassing. Buying a house in your home state doesn't signal any intention, now or in the future.

Also, his manager stated "he loves Melbourne and if he was delisted tomorrow he'd stay in Melbourne".

Why would a 195 cm footballer with a history of back issues ever want to play in Perth and catch two 4 hour flights every second weekend ?

West Coast played 2 games at the 'G this year. I suspect he already loves the 'G Chicken Littles and doesn't want to only play there twice a year.

this is so correct. Can't believe the crap people are going on about, jumping at shadows.

close thread.

Hmmm......manager speak.

Not when he doesn't have to say it, but without prompting offers it.

But look mate, I don't care what you believe. You can worry yourself in bed every night as you try to get to sleep.

I do however, question your intelligence.

Oh FFS, you're all making assumptions, so don't try and belittle others who are making different ones to you.

    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
