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

His first game back after his layoff was the real Jesse we want to see for years to come.

    Reckon if the site had the appropriate program, this bloke would have the highest "like" per word posted, of anyone who has ever been on 'Land. Bradman numbers I suspect.

     

    Ta Chookers, that oughta calm a few frayed nerves.

    If my source is correct, Jesse went to Perth before Bali, he then flew from Bali to WA to meet with Fyfe, came back to Melb shortly after attended races over the weekend and is flying back to Perth this week to meet Lyon. Grain of salt as I dont know the guy personally but seems he was spot on. This is why I think using Watts is a cop out. May all be BS at EOD

    Concerning.

    All that travel can't be good for his back...

    He was stalking 'Land, waiting for a Chookinperth update, before posting his pre prepared statement.

    Nah @Chook in Perth seems like a good bloke, media fl0gs are scum

    Thank God for @Chook in Perth as the last few pages of this thread have been utter garbage. Some of the worst DL has produced, and that includes the week after we missed the finals.

    I love how he says the guy is his 'source' and then goes on to say that he has never met him and doesn't know him personally. Laughable.

    These modern Twitter Journalists are an absolute disgrace to the art of News Gathering. 

    Kerry Packer and John Sorrell would sack half of these hacks within an hour if they were still alive. 

    Research before opening mouth ?

    Click-bait ‘journalism’ - and a lot of people bit.  His boss would be telling him it was a job well done.

    I posted something a while back in reference to a Max Gawn trade about Brian 'the whale' Roberts...

    He was a very well liked player at the tiges when they moved him on to "better their list".

    KB says it's one of the worst moves made in his time at the club...

    You've got to be careful to not destabilise things when moving on a player who is part of the fabric of the club.

    Watts is a very well liked player and seems to get on with everyone, players and supporters alike. He mightn't be everyones cup of tea as a player but he is part of the fabric of the club, a player who appears to bond the playing group off the field.

    If I was a player at Melbourne I would be looking at this now and forgetting about all the carp Lewis and others have been taking about building a culture and taking unders, I would be looking after myself. I'm sure Connors will be reinforcing this with Petracca when the time comes.

    So, Hogan has every right to look at his future if he doesn't like the way a mate is being treated.

    We can talk professionalism in modern sport as much as we like but we are still dealing with people. It's still very much a people business.

    Is it really worth rocking the boat for a 2nd round pick at best?

    Goodwin is a gambler and I'm not sure this is a good punt. Will he end up Blight (a true visionary) or Neeld (another failed Melbourne coach)?

    It's not only his coaching on the line here it's our club, our future and I know a lot of us have a lot on the line as supporters.

    Time will tell but this is an uneasy time for me.

    For every Whale Roberts there's a McDermott, McGuiness, Jarman.

    Richmond weren't hoping to keep the injured Deledio ($800K) last year, as they needed to find a way to lure Prestia and Caddy.

    And football was really part-time then.  There's no comparison to the business it is today.  Whale would have trained for a month or two preseason and 3 times a week after work.  

    It's not a great comparison.

    And who said Hogan is looking at his future ?  His manager says he wants to be at Melbourne.  This is merely driven by speculation and Freo's desperation.  Nothing more.

    Btw, the gambling reference is a poor cheap shot.

    Yeah well in another development Apparently Jessie Hogan is very [censored] of with the Jack Watts situation and has had some conversations with Nat Fyffe and other Freo people. Make of that what you will

    Heard the same and while no imminent move is on Jesse is alleged to have stated that the clubs treatment of Jack will make his decision easier in 2019. Repet, it is never good ditching good clubmen 1 year into a 3 years contract

    What rubbish. The fact you believe it, even for a second, is a sad reflection on yourself.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
