The way he holds his cigarette shows he is not an experienced smoker. Holds it like a 12 year old. I suspect the blonde girl with him corrupted him.

That is if he's not out with emphysema.

I guess given that he was in WA we are lucky that he was "only" smoking!

Pull your head in Jesse -- you have won a big fat contract, you have dozenth wrong thing and let your team and your supporters down big time.

Grow up, come back, toughen up and be less petulant and display your full footy talents.

What family issue

"Over the past few months, Jesse has been dealing with the deterioration of his father’s health and the club took the opportunity, with him being suspended, to give him three days away from the club over the weekend,” Mahoney said.

Not sure if puffing smokes at a music festival helps with his ill father.

Would make more sense to be at the hospital

That's true, but it might be that Jesse is trying to relax for a few hours during a stressful visit to his father who's health is declining.

The ciggie isn't a good look given we have a health sponsor. He should low better. But then Jesse certainly dances to the beat of his own drum (pardon the 2 puns)

Good news is Hogan's now given us an excuse to pull the pin on this 'going back to Perth whenever he's got spare time' routine that's carried on for far too long now.

He's a grown man, they can't pull the pin on anything of the sort. If they start trying to be all draconian on him, the club knows full well it will lose him. He's always going to want to go back to Perth, so be supportive and flexible about it. So long as he comes back fresh, fit and focused, who cares.

Honestly. The only thing the club should be doing is saying "mate, next time please make sure you save the dart until you get home".

I don't understand why having a one of dart at a music festival when his father is critically ill and he's stressed out of his mind is such a bad thing. 

Not sure the club could stop him even if they wanted to

Rubbish. His dad's been unwell for a long time. There's flexibility and understanding there but it comes with some responsibility on his behalf. If he needs extra compassionate leave that's fine and if he wants to spend that at a musical festival having a dart then sure, let's see him try that.

Otherwise he has a contract and without being an AFL CBA expert I assume getting suspended doesn't equal time off. It means you still have to do whatever duties AFL players are given during a week. So the club gave him special rules and he's gone and abused them.

Remember the end of the Daniher years and the Bailey years when we had [censored] poor culture and where that got us? What do you think Nath Jones and Jack Viney would think about this. I'd be [censored] off.

He's 22. Spent much time with 22 year olds who live 4 hours flight from their father - whose very unwell? It's a unique, and honestly, sad situation.

Lets not beat him up. It's not ideal but it's also not the end of the world.

Everyone deals with these things differently.  He may have already spent his time at the hospital and took the opportunity to take his mind off things by spending a little time with friends/family at the music festival.  Being caught smoking is only a very minor issue, but trying to even criticise him while his father is clearly unwell is poor by even your standards.

Not a great look I admit, but we also don't know the circumstances of what's going through Jesse's head right now.

For all we know he's absolutely filthy at himself for the suspension, and coupling that guilt with the condition of father at the same time might be really stressing him out?

Gee I remember when I got caught smoking when I was 12, Jesse is going to cop it big time!

The only concern upon closer inspection is our partnership with Vic Health. Should have kept his smoking to behind closed doors. Ah well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
