Does anyone know what Jesse's current foot injury actually is?

A mid foot ‘sprain’ was the latest I heard. 

Timeline unknown. 

A good journalist does the research before he opens his mouth.

A true journalist is not a part of the story, he merely reports on what has happened. 

Morris seems to betray trust. 

I wonder how long he will be around...

 

Morris is a [censored], but Jesse does himself no favours get sucked into stuff like this on Twitter

Morris has History, why should anyone trust him. 

Far better to expose the garbage ? 

Jesse has been through far bigger issues than Morris...

Unfortunately in this day and age any publicity is good publicity. Bottom feeders like Morris revel in it. To prospective media employers it comes across as “this journo is prepared to muckrake and cause a stir for website clicks and ratings. You beauty”. Why give him the oxygen and the satisfaction?

He said this, she wrote that. He did this, they didn’t do that. All fodder at the end of the day. Not what Jesse needs at all establishing his career and reputation in Perth. Especially after recent events in his life.

Which is why, I’d hazard to guess, he quickly took the tweet down.

Sorry. I worked with Journalists for over 10 years. 

A bad Journalist who cannot be trusted, or will not keep their flapper shut when they should, must always be outed. 

Jesse is quite within his rights to call him out. Who cares if the twitter was taken down, it has done it’s job...

Hunter S Thompson would disagree ?

Ahh yes The Great Hunter Stockton, there are always exceptions and he certainly was one of those. 

Morris is not on the same universe as Hunter!!!

Agreed. Don't think Jesse went overboard. Just called him out. Whether it was on twotter or even on an anonymous footy forum, he achieved what he wanted to. Good on him!

That sounds suspiciously like a navicular.

The staggering thing in all this is that he’s still employed by On The Couch, whose own hosts don’t even seem to trust him. 

A few weeks after the so-called falling out between Macca and Goody last year, he made similar claims about GWS - that Leon Cameron had also been banished to the bench.

When pressed further about how a senior coach could be turfed from his own coaching box, and by whom, Morris had nothing, except a vague reference to the ‘powers-that-be.’ The boys on the couch were less than impressed. 

Even this year, when he tried to revive the so-called rift between Macca and Goody, Healy had to remind him that he needed to ring Macca and get both sides of the story - something Morris clearly hadn’t done. 

I’ve worked in journalism and media for 25 years and can spot a fraud at 1000 paces. This guy is at the very top of the tree when it comes to duds.

Not a big fan of this particular one by Jesse, comes across as pretty immature, but as far as the bigger picture goes I am a fan of the growing calls for more accountability in footy media, with a few players going wack this year.

An AFL Journalist who cannot be trusted by the players and coaches won’t last very long. 

Why should Morris be protected?

What job? Do you think anyone truly cares? Most just see one guy with a personal beef airing his dirty laundry. Very few people would’ve even heard of Tom Morris. 

And how does anyone know who’s telling the truth in these ‘he said, she said’ spats? If anything it makes Hogan’s case look worse because he didn’t leave the tweet up there in lights. 

Best policy is to stay away from the gutter. Leave it to the sewer rats.

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
