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: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
