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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
