Just got an sms from the waitress who served Jesse and Nat their coffee.

She tells me that Jesse said to Nat that he was only having the coffee with him to stir up DL.

She then heard Nat say to Jesse, that if he grew his hair, he would show him how to tie up a man bun.

And how do I know this waitress red?? Hmmmmmmm???

Would it really be the end of the world if Jesse left? To be honest, I’d be just as excited with their pick 5, first rounder next year, Balic and possibly Tabener.

I'd just say 'No. You are contracted'

Tony Sheahan is just a troll. He has no idea. 

Is that Tony is it? I had an inkling it may have been Nixon? Isn't Tony a Dees supporter though?? They are all full of it, just trying to rip hearts from supporters souls. Jay Clark seems to be one of the better ones on the Dees?

Why? So we can hold onto a player and build our game structure / plan for him and not develop players or build something now, when he will leave as a free agent in two years time, and then receive less in pick value as a result?

Makes perfect sense now to trade him than wait for the inevitable.

Picks are waaaaaay over-rated. And two years is a long time. Hell, 6 months can be a long time. 

You keep what you have until you don't want them anymore or you can get something better. I don't see either of those conditions being met today.

I'd like to see some stats on JH, will have a look later. % of games won with/without him, better off to do this year as current. And also what our return from him is games missed v games total. Has had a bad run and spent a lot of time on the sidelines.

I know nothing about who is liable to be available at any pick, but I do know one thing - it's a gamble, you may get a star almost immediately, you may get one who is a star in a few years (and then leaves for another club) or you may draw a dud.  So any deal which involves trading a player (unless we have an excess of players in that position) who has played AFL reasonably well for a #5 draft pick is a dangerous gamble.   Better to trade picks and let other clubs do the gambling.

We are being Neelded - push Watts out Hogans gone they are close I reckon and Watts is being treated unfairly just the excuse Jesse needs to head home

Jesse has met Fyfe for A SECOND time.. 

This is getting ridiculous.

Club may as well fold.

So he met some guy with a man bun.  Melbourne unaware of meeting (dont need to be), not aware of wanting to be traded (because he doesn’t?).  No news.  Jesse is always going to attract the go home story, I have seen nothing to suggest he will not be contracted and playing next year.

I would start at 3 first rounders for Hogan. Contracted player who is a key forwArd that we payed 2 first rounders for originally.

Since then we have developed him from the age of 17 to be primed for next 10-12 years. 

3 first rounders is what I feel is needed to get it done.

True.

Pavlich was said to be heading home every year for the first decade of his career.

It's a pretty good consolation if it were to happen.

    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.
