The only synergy between him and Collingwood is the regularity that both manage to create headlines off the field. I think he would crumble under the expectations of the magpie army. 

He'd be right at home with DeGoey, Stephenson, Sidebottom, Beames, etc

True. Far better he sign with an underperforming nonentity that would treat his return like the second coming of christ. 

It is hard to see him leaving WA and even less chance of him returning to the MFC. He was a good player for us but also very high maintenance. I would love to have his 47 goal season back but it won’t happen. 

 

If he leaves Freo i reckon the Eagles will snap him up on a nothing contract as insurance for an injury to Kennedy/Darling knowing if they get him right he's a bargain replacement for Kennedy when he retires.

Eagles are no chance of getting him.  They were not even slightly interested due to his off field issues

Not something one would have read about the Eagles 15 years ago. How times have changed.

im so happy that he didn't work out at Freo after Peter Bell's antics during the trade period. Karmas a biatch.

I'd take him back but I wouldn't give up anything for him. Makes our defensive stuff even worse. And he doesn't bring positivity to a group. 

Jess deserves the best of luck _ probably elsewhere though unfortunately.

PS - [censored] Smith is looking ultra cool - sign him up ?

Four goals yesterday.  Would be our best forward by a mile.

Was textbook Hogan really. Beating up on the weak sides. 

I'd still take him back though.

He's a gun on field e.g. Rance wss no push over. Would love to have him back for the good of both parties.  Can't see him leaving however

No one questions Jesse's ability.

IMO the issues are his body and his motivation, particularly the latter.

I hope he continues to improve over summer and comes back in good shape for 2021

But I don't want him back with us. Its simply risk/reward. 

I want a tall forward line of Weid, Jacko, and a fit Petty in 2021. Depth Brown. Note: no Tmac


Apparently his management have been meeting with a few teams, so interesting coincidence he's started to find form.

Hope we are one of them.  Come home Jesse.

People are crazy to say we dont want or need him.. come on, have they seen Weid play the last few weeks?

Here's hoping he has a huge Sunday night out in Cairns.

Indeed. Love to see him kick 8 and the heave ho to win comfortably! He could be the gift that keeps on giving to the MFC!!!

He’s an impressive BS artist if he has one eye on the exit. I watched his post match interview last week and he seemed more invested in Freo than ever before. Such is the modern player I suppose.

Would be handy if his form can drag his team over the line against the Doggies. Would be a nice little bit of poetry if Hogan kicked us into the finals.

Wait until the end of 2021. Get him back in for nothing after Freo delist.  ?
 

Jesse deserves a 2nd chance at the Dees. ?

 

Probably needs a good mental therapist and some SAS training under Burgo. ???

If he's fit, id take him back even if he needs abit more TLC then other players. We would be top 4 with Jesse at his best Weed, Fritsch and Jackson little kossi unbelievable forward line

  • 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.
