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 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...

    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!

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
