Forget the fairytale return, the coach was apparently keen to see the back of him two years ago given his extra curricular activities! Made Watts look like a choir boy!

    Problem is that there are probably several clubs that would pay more for Jesse than we would.

    But perhaps we are hos destination club ?

    I think there is a slightly better chance of him returning than there is on me pulling on the boots in 2021. 

    Ugg boots, Mr Old?

    If we dont get Brown, then Jesse would be a handy key forward. 
     

    We would want to be buying him cheap.  

    Future 3rd round 2021 pick. 

    Obvious challenges and issues and needs to overcome the mental down times.  
    ?

    Jesse knows the players ✅

    The players know Jesse✅

    There is no Go Home Factor anymore ✅

    My hand up too.

    Subject to SONS's bolded words.

    A change and back to the future is what he needs

    Our players/coachs' should do that SMS thing (text to the unwashed) to say hello

    Freo have been burnt bad. He clearly can’t get his head right to play at the level even with family and friends around. 

    are you guys for real that you think we should go for him?!?

    Never should have gone back to WA.

    I’m going glass half full and he can take Harley’s spot on the high-risk-high-reward list.  This could be our Trent Croad moment.

    Yeh, lets give up the farm for a broken player. Glad you're not working for the club!

    Hogan is reportedly on an amount in excess of $900k per year with a contract going till the end of 2021.

    He's Freo's T Mac

    Hard to make those numbers work for any suitor unless Freo stumps up around half.

    Would Hogan move on a one year deal or would he want 2 or 3?

    The role of a coach is to get all the different personalities to work together. They won’t all be robots. They just need to commit to what the team needs.

    Jesse will be advised that this is it for him. He either makes it work or he’s just another waste of talent. 

    Get him back and see what he can do. He doesn’t need to be a superstar, just a contributor. He’d make us harder to beat, and as a supporter that’s all I need.

    Your offer for him was more than we got for him in the first place, which is vomit inducing considering he was in better nick at the end of 2018 than he is now.

    I think a lot less will spark their interest. A 3rd rounder should be enough to get the conversation started.

    I like the romance of Jesse coming back to play for us but I just can't see it happening. It sounds like he had a myriad of issues while he was with us and we gave him a gentle nudge out the door in 2018. Looking from the outside, those issues have only gotten worse with Jesse not only suffering a foot injury that forced him to miss a large chunk of footy, but having serious mental health issues that took him out of the game for a while as well.  Now after years of chasing him, freo are pushing him out the door with one year left to go on his initial contract. That's screaming red flags for me.

    I would say his value has dropped dramatically and if there is a club interested in him, they won't be giving up a first round pick.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
