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

Offer Freo nexts years first round pick and Brayshaw. That’ll spark there interest 

It would spark some reflux for me if we offered that.

Yeh let’s keep playing it safe, it’s working so well for us

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.

  • 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 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.
