I'm still just so pumped about this!!! 

The more we find out the more I love Jesse. He has clearly been very loyal in the face of big money offers and the lure of home. Also unlike a lot of other young players in this competition who seem to think you are entitled to success by jumping ship to a power club ASAP (cough Jaeger Cough). Jesse seems determined to drag us up the ladder. 

So pleased for him. Can't wait to chant his name in the stands next year as he kicks bag after bag!!

Ps: Welcome back rpfc

You could possibly credibly claim that you introduced Aaron Vandenberg to Jason Taylor.

 

No, but I did play a game with him back in 2011 when he was fat.

No idea what to do with him so we put the best mid I have ever captained on the half back flank. He had 50 touches and won the game for us...

Jeez, thanks for the searching party thread... I got promoted earlier in the year at work and then I stupidly agreed to coach a reserves team up here in the AFL Canberra so my free time was minus hours... 

Getting back in the habit now with trade week looming...

Couldn't let Jesse have the limelight after his recent signing could you? Had to come in and steal some of his thunder didn't you? Some of us feared you were with our sweet prince Harambe, it's good to see you back,  good timing btw

The 'fat' Flying Dutchaman...

I am the fat arthritically crippled member of the master race. Played as a 6 ft ruckman for Sunshine Under 16's. Slaughtered Aaron Sandilands in a Final once. In my dreams. But did kick 2 Majors...

I felt towards the end of the year a lot of Melbourne fans were turning on him a bit, I think as a defence mechanism to expectations that he would ditch us. Now that he's committed and essentially said he's in it for the long haul I hope those people give him every bit of support and credit as he could've taken some big money.

Fair call - bracing ourselves for the overwhelming disappointment and despair associated with his proposed departure was an entirely understandable and inevitable position for Dee's supporters to take.

Thankfully when we got the 'tap on the shoulder' this time, it was to celebrate him staying rather than a sign that the rogering was finished.

In fairness to those fans, a few of them are still recovering from the $cully burn.

Welcome back.

There was a thread dedicated to your absence but it got shut down.

Distinct and predictable lack of Flamingdees posting since Jesse re-signed. 

I bet he's sitting on a park bench somewhere listening to The Sound of Silence on his Walkman.

Or devoting his time to a suspect twitter account.

I recon Jesse was overawed last season.

For a young fella,having just won the rising star,and the expectations of him,and as the season wore on,

the possibility of the 8,the interviews,the cameras,the commentators,the eyes of the world on him.,no wonder 

he nearly tripped over his own feet when kicking for goal.

I really believe as he matures and a fresh season begins and the experience of the last, he will explode in 2017.

There is a distinct lack of 'america de cali' in this thread as well.  He's gone very, very quiet after he spent a few months potting the bloke and hoping he wouldn't re-sign.  Such a shame he isn't man enough to come back here and wish Jesse well after everything he said.

And admirable restraint from GNF who has resisted any 'i told you so' posts. He was right on the money with his posts about jessie's contract scenario, both his first one and the more recent ones flagging the complexities in the situation as a result of his Dads health issues. Good job GNF and thanks for the info. It won't convince the haters though.

That is the most hilariously cringeworthy music video you can see. And I've seen them all. 

How can you seriously release that. 

I like the whole Andre Agassi playing Magneto theme though.

It was reported yesterday that Jordan Lewis selected the Demons as his (only) club to approach and that Hogan was a major attraction (paraphrasing the story).

Even if the Lewis trade does not happen, that he has said that goes a long way to making us a 'destination' club.  It is reasonable to think that other players will think, '...gee if Lewis thinks that maybe we should have a closer look...'  Lewis did us a big big  favour nominating the Dees!  Put us on the radar, so to speak!

The value of Jesse's signature cannot be underestimated in making us a 'destination' club.  Mahoney alluded to that at the time of the announcement.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
