Where there's smoke there's...

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.

    Relax. It might have just been cannabis. 

    Might have been? Medicinal.

    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.

    Who cares? Rubbish 'story'.

    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.

    Anyone know what unwell constitutes in this circumstance?

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
