Has had a tremendous month or so. Hope he's just realised that Freo are going nowhere anytime soon.

There were people in SA who honestly, truly thought they'd successfully lured Jack Viney to Port.  People will believe literally anything if they want it to be true.

that sort of dreaming wouldn't happen on demonland though. nasher

Last night I am absolutely certain would be making him think - wouldn't it be such fun to play under Ross Lyon ???

That's true. I still believe in Santa and no one will tell me otherwise!

The media keep referring to his big future at Melbourne.

He had a look into his future last night.

It isn't bright at Freo.

Fwiw Tim Gossage on SEN once again reiterated Hogan is no chance to go home to Perth. 

Lucky Gossage has never been wrong..never.

He's quite adamant about that. Did he say what makes him so confident that Jesse is staying in Melbourne?

About six weeks ago when he first claimed the same thing he alluded to it being inside knowledge. Today he added that Hogan won't be coming home at any stage. 

He thinks Melbourne will be able to offer the same amount of money as Fremantle, that Fremantle are a mess and the go home factor so he can surf with his mates is a joke. 

He didn't really add much and it's quite common sense stuff but any talk of him not leaving is good talk.

If he goes home to surf with mates he isn't a serious footballer. 

Freo are a disaster. West Coast don't need him, and he doesn't strike me as someone who wants to compete for top dog claim (which he will have to do playing with Kennedy) 

He is more likely to leave for another Melbourne team for success and/or money. Since I can't see anyone capable of paying him more than us (not significantly anyway), I hope that he can be confident in our success going forward and stays on. The better we keep playing, the more chances he will stick around.

I reckon Collingwood will get into him big time now that the writing is on the wall for Cloke.

Best of luck to them then. I won't lose any sleep on that one.

We're ahead of Collingwood and Hawks won't be challenging past this year.

Same.  I find it very difficult to imagine him leaving for another Melbourne club.

there is no more surf in metro/greater perth anymore... gotta drive 1-3 hrs to get a decent relatively uncrowded wave

And I think we've seen plenty to show that he is a very serious footballer.

Very  confident he'll stay.  He's just a fantastic footballer...another 12 marks last night in greasy conditions.  What I like about him most is his footy smarts and his consistency.  Rarely kicks a bag but you always know he's going to kick 2-3 goals and take 8-12 marks every week.  We keep forgetting how young he is for a KPP.

Thank god the dogs are stuck with Boyd and his bazillion dollar contract because the Dogs are exactly the sort of club I could see Jesse going to. Close to a flag, he obviously enjoys playing at Etihad, would get great midfield service, could get a good thing going with Stringer. 

Really, thank god they stuffed it with Boyd!

I don't see any clubs as a threat outside the WA clubs  -  I just get a different feel about his desire to go home and the word around Dangerfield last season.

He did.  He also said he would provide more detail when he did his regular report the following week.  Still waiting for that 'detail'

I recon Jesse will stay, however have always had a worry about Hawthorn making a stealth offer (similar to Sydney and Buddy).

They will have a truck load of money if they backend his contract with immanent retirements  of Hodge, Lewis, Mitchell, Burgoyne, Roughhead (?) Gibson etc. They are also always going to be attractive enough from an on field perspective

Obviously this is unlikely and wont be easy given Jesse is not a free agent however the paranoia will be there until he is signed!!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
