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.

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!!

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
