    I can see freo fans using this to argue unders on Jesse, like the dolts last year who thought it justified us paying unders for (or not recruiting) Lever

    Good luck to them on that! We set the price, they come to the party or we tell them to bugger off.

    Do we tell Gaff to bugger off as Jesse's cap space is unavailable for 1 more year too?

    He was 1 vote behind Lewis in 11th, after missing the last few games.

    Churlish.

    He finished 6th in votes per game out of players with more than 10 games.

    In the Sun to day they have done a comparison with the leading key forwards and Jesse leads all but one stat.

    We are talking about a 23 year old future champion of the game and to ask for less than the absolute maximum in return is a joke.

    I trust the FD to get a good deal, but to those on here or in the media to suggest he is not absolute top trade price is another joke.

    I have warmed to May and KK would be handy for us, so lets see how we go next week.

    Mahoney and Co have shown themselves capable of getting deals done and our list is getting there. 

    But back to the main point. Those talking Jesse down because of a flaw in his game, are not giving his positives due recognition.

    Jesse is a super talent and could rise to champion status if he puts in the effort and he has luck with injuries from now on so we need to extract maximum compo from the club he goes to, most likely the Dockers.

    Totally agree and he’s still contracted and the dockers want him desperately. 

    If they are willing to offer him 1.2 mil a year they will have a hard time explaining why they shouldn’t cough up #5 & #6 for him and both parties walk away with what they want

    Like your avatar, you speak in riddles and seemingly struggle with communicating a narrative. (And like your avatar sake are consistently negative).

    On one hand you talk Hogan down and basically say he is overrated. On the other you say we'll get to first rounders. Do you think clubs are in the habit of paying top price for average players?

    lol! im talking about what i think will happen. I'd take a straight swap for may and hogan but i don't think the club will. i'd actually be happy going to the draft with the picks we get too.

    I can understand he may want to return to WA to be near his Mum, but he’s been here for several years now and surely most of his friends are Melbourne-based. Why would he want to go to a team that’s on the bottom rungs of the ladder (apart from $)? Most players who have retired and look back on their careers, when interviewed say that they would rather have been in a successful team than have earned more dollars. Also, maybe Melbourne can offer a few more $ as well?

    If he stays it may explain why we asked the AFL for permission to trade next years 1st round pick, which goes some of the way towards potentially getting May and KK.

    And yet you've said you'd be happy to do a straight swap with May who also didn't finish in the top 10, and before you say it's because he only played 17 games, Martin and Thompson both finished top 10 for them and both played the same or less games than May. Whereas all the Melbourne top 10 played more games than Jesse.

    Melbourne may be making freo sweat to ensure we get pick 5 & 6

    Isnt that basically what was said from the start?  We are happy to keep him unless something is put in front of us that we absolutely couldnt refuse?

    Narrative has morphed since into this going down like a regular trade, fears of getting low balled.. etc

    Mother of all offers thanks Freo, or GTFO

    Really? Seems odd they would do it today and not at BnF or earlier when it was brought up? This is what I mean by not trusting what anyone says!

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
