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

    Interesting to see Hoges being a lot more vocal in the press waxing lyrical about Goody and the emerging group. I think he is hooked. Hallelujah!

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
