Ill fess i wasvone that thought his convalescence should take longer and he possibly best be served with time and a possible focus on the preseason etc.

Happy to be wrong. 

The game proved just the Tonic :)

    I never questioned his talent but I questioned his style of play many times.

    As someone else mentioned, he attacked the ball and didn't just stand and wrestle like he has been for over a year now.

     

    We also were able to isolate him. Pack marking he doesn't do.

    If we are to do any damage in any finals series in the era of Hogan - it will be a forward line that gets him one-on-one more often than not.

    Some Demon supporters have doubted this kids talent. LOL.

    Must be on drugs.

    Worse still: some Demonlanders wanted to trade him! ?

    Hey DD

    Just got back from two and half weeks riding in Italy, Austria, France and Switzerland. with the wife on the back. An absolute blast, particularly the Dolomites and Switzerland. There were a couple of close calls along the way with me trying to ride like an Italian, a quick thump on the back of the helmet by the hand brake and I would pull my head in. They tell me Italian hospitals are excellent so I'm sure you're in good hands.

    No doubt his and the teams efforts to create space for Jessie was part of the story, but I get the feeling watching his marks/goals from the Lion's game that their backs played incredibly loose on him and I hardly recalled him being double teamed all day.  I also hardly remember a day where he has kicked so straight, not a numpty one off to the side all day (I was almost waiting for him to miss a sitter from 25 out).

    Fully expect Dunn to scrag the heck out of Jessie and Howe to come third man up on him all day against the Pies.  

    Really do think Watts back into the side will complete our forward line, they can't hold all of our guns at once.

    Article on Jesse's return today. I especially liked this bit, regarding the club's attitude towards everything he's gone through this year.

    "Hogan said he would have found it difficult to pull through if not for the support of the Melbourne Football Club and his teammates.

    "The club was extremely caring and were very cautious to what I needed – whether I needed space or whether I needed to be around the boys. They couldn't have done any better, in my opinion.""

    Our back room staff should be the envy of the league. Has Josh Mahoney written all over it.

    What a turnaround from the joke we were not so long ago.

    If Dunne and Howe scagg him Pedo and Garlett will kick 4 each

    And they dont have a match for a rampant Petracca

    Those words are music to ears. I will always acknowledge when credit is given because it doesn't happen enough. Kudos to Josh Mahoney and co

    My heart goes out to Jesse.  His injury today was the 5th major setback this season.  He has carried such a personal burden.  He worked so hard to come back from the collarbone injury to play again and the hamstring goes.  It just isn't his year.  Chin up mate.  Look forward to you getting healthy for 2018.

    Yep I am sure he will be glad to see the end of 2017.     An  gutsy  young man who will come back and have a big 2018

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
