This bloke should never have gone home.

Not too sure about that but hard not to feel sorry for him - something definitely NQR there 

It might be that he just isn't an AFL footballer - it is a not a career that works for everyone despite obvious talent

    He had issues while he was here. It's got nothing to do with what state he plays a sport in. Troubled young guy. Hopefully will find his feet and get back on what path he chooses to follow.

    Not wanting to get all high and mighty, but comments like this are in bad taste I reckon. 

    Whether were right/ wrong to trade him is irrelevant now. The bloke is clearly going through hell. All the best to him.

    The same issues surfacing that were bubbling away at our club, that we weren’t allowed to talk about on here at the time. We made the right call getting rid of him.

    With that said, I really hope he can turn his life around. However, the influence he was exerting on other young players was why he was moved on. I’ll leave it at that, as I don’t want the mods here telling me I am defaming the bloke?

    Good luck to the kid.

    Sad to hear he’s still struggling, gotta wonder about that mini underage draft and whether it was the best thing for those players. I know at that age lads want to act tough and be excited but I can’t help but feel him being away from home at 17 and the pressures that came with it hasn’t helped him mentally. 

    Hope he’s able to get things right on and off the park.

    Yeah. We'll need a 'Farewell drysdale demon' thread full of 'We got rid of him at the right time' comments, after that one!

    I am not potting him but the fact is MFC got rid of him at the right time.

    Apart from that, he’s been plagued by injury, lost his father after being on the other side of the country during his illness and was attacked in social media over his being seen smoking at a music festival (even lambasted for attending said festival while his father was gravely ill).

    The kid has been to hell and back... something that causes comments like drysdale demon’s insensitive remark, to make my blood boil!

    To be fair mate, there was a fair bit going on before the health issues, his father’s death and the mental health issues. He hasn’t not been in a good way for some time. I can’t elaborate, but you can draw reasonable inference from that.

    If I didn't have empathy I wouldn't spend 25 hrs plus a week volunteering at the salvo's or working for another organisation feeding the homeless.

    In which case you should probably have been a little more thoughtful with your post.

    Possibly... I have no knowledge of what you’re alluding to, so I’ll reserve my judgement. However, it still doesn’t excuse the insensitive comments.

    I'd contrast the insensitive comments on here by Demon supporters by anything you read on bigfooty, and get a good reference point to what insensitive looks like from the general public. Bloody hell, that place is feral (but I can't look away!)

    It takes time to get over the death of your father.

    It's an important stage of life .

    He's not up to the challenge yet so let him be.

    Talking of insensitive... you’re suggesting that I go and check out Big Footy??!!??

    Poor Jessie. He really has had a hard road. 
    i don’t think AFL is his thing, regardless of his talents. 
     

    Made the wrong move going back to Perth, regardless of whether he was pushed gently.

    He is not on his lonesome there, tens of thousands of people a year in this world go thru similar or worse, I don't show any more sympathy to someone just because they happen to be a sportsperson or any other notable person than I would to a person I have never heard of.

    You are correct, but most of them don’t have their problems put out in the public space and splashed all over social media at such a young age.  You showed zero sympathy with your comment re Hogan... I certainly hope you are a little more sympathetic with the people you deal with in your work as a volunteer.

    Mr punch first ask questions later at his best. 

    The way you present yourself on here suggests you don’t have empathy or you just have little self awareness, volunteering badge or not. 

    As to Jesse, here is hoping you can find an outlet that brings you happiness, joy and satisfaction.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
