The do we need Jesse? (Semi serious thread)

Featured Replies

Really hard to see him getting a game considering Roos has to fit Dawes back into the team.

My God have a drink nerd before I slap thee 

 

Our best win last year...at Geelong.... no Hoges.

Today...... no Hoges.    Interesting.........

I think his role should be discussed in depth but not today.

Yes he's a must get. Plus if he or T.Mac had thoughts for their potential future success...then they need no more explanation.

Quoted just for lol.

Jesse has been absent in our two best wins over the last two seasons. No longer an elephant in the room and not sacrilegious to discuss. But the kid has talent. Let's work out what it is that enhances our attack when he is away and incorporate his attributes into that mix.

He is the ultimate CHF.  Weed is more a stay at home FF.

Gonna be a hell of a duo.

Would be a top 3 back man right now if played there. Is a promising forward. Has shown enough to even suggest he is worth 1 million a year. Given he can play at both ends, I see no problem with offering the kid a stack. Buddy is on a stack, Rance is on a stack, and this kid can do it at either end. Not just forward, and not just back. Could probably even be a rover. I've seen him ruck our forward line effectively as well (at times). There is nothing Hogan cannot do. You don't go getting rid of those type of players. Not for Fyfe, or for anyone.

Agree. I'd give him a run at CHB and see how he went. I reckon he'd dominate.

If we want to be a dominating team for the next 10 years we do. 


Serious? You're joking right? He's still a kid.

Added to that side and playing well , we could kick some scary numbers.

Ofcourse we need Hogan. He's got amazing potential and is already performing well. The interesting thing is how we won without him today and last year. Not having him inside 50 meant our players couldn't bomb it long to him and had to lower their eyes and hit a leading target instead. It made us a lot more unpredictable and gave us more opportunity. When he returns we need to keep that mentality going and not just bomb it to him as it hasn't worked well this year. Hogan also needs to get on his bike and lead more instead of just calling for it and winding up double-teamed. He does it well when he's up the ground but for some reason inside 50 he just hasn't learnt to lead properly yet. If he does that and learns to kick set shits from over 40 meters he will be unstoppable and so will the whole team!

Watts - swingman

Gawn - resting bomb-ball pack buster.

 

It's all coming together. Our coach in waiting must be pinching himself after today. The players can feel it now.

Except that from now on, bomb balls into Melbourne's f50 will be much less frequent.

(unless Max is there, of course!)

"Do we need Jesse"

Strictly speaking - no.

If he holds us to ransom I'm comfortable we can kick goals sans him, and the sum of the loot we'd get for him would be our Cyril/Selwood/Parker cherry on the cake.

Do I want to lose him? Not in a million years.

What a remarkably sensible comment.

Hogan and Weed: the future.

Pedo is handy depth: keep.

Dawes is Gawn.

 

No, Max is Gawn. Dawes are things that need closing.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • 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.
