Is that the same player that stuffed the club around in 2022 with his indecision, his mid season interview with Freo behind the clubs back as confirmed by Alan Richardson via SEN, the media circus he created and the phoning in of the 2022 finals series.

He will cop Tom Scully boos -circa 2012 MCG.

There was no indecision. He was always going. We have a football industry where culture dictates you can’t declare your intentions in-season so any player leaving must “stuff their club around”, there’s no other way.

    As the wise saying goes, holding a grudge is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

    Luke Jackson plays for Fremantle now.  I wish him no ill and certainly wouldn't boo him.

    Yeah, I get that and there might be a subtle difference here, but I have often seen Steve May get cranky with his team mates out on the feild too.  In a sense, I think they are both just demanding high standards of their team mates in their respective positions and the important skills and work ethics required for their positions.  I do sense from the interview that Jessie is a bit more mature now, given his footy/life journey and that he's now 27, not 17.

    I wouldn't be chasing Jessie hard, but if we could get him for the right price at the right time, I think he could be an important mature body to bridge between BBB/T Mac and JVR, Jefferson and Co.  His body and current form is stacking up, I think he'd be more than just depth and could be an important cog in another premiership team.

    Perhaps, Balls. But I just don't see Jesse fitting in well in Melb town anymore.

    Steven May is multiple AA and has been arguably the best full back in the game for about 4 years. He's earned the right to be demanding of his teamates (not starting fights in French eateries though).

    What player in the game wouldn't take instruction from a cranky May over cranky Hogan?

    Hogan has always had patches where he showed immense talent, and he's now showing a little consistency. Good on him.

    An interesting hypothetical for him to return to the Dees, but I don't see enough positives. Once bitten and all that

    I agree, loved hogan but there isn't enough positives there. He oozes talent but doesn't work hard enough for it. 
    He doesn't have it and what it is is what Trac, Oliver and Gus have. That unwavering work ethic.

    That's how you get to be elite.

    Has anyone ever gone to Freo and succeeded? It seems like where careers go to die on big money.

    Build the great man a statue outside of our new complex in Caufield.

    I'll even come from Adelaide to unveil it to the masses.

    If Freo get within 5 goals today it will be a miracle. Came out and tried for 3 or 4 minutes before Lions took control.

    Brisbane look a bit listless today. Not good.

    Agree. No intensity from either team. Jackson didn’t do too bad in that quarter but he hasn’t many helping him up front.

    Jacko pretty good in the 1st quarter

    Both sides look average, fortunately Brisbane look slightly less average than the Dokkas

    Freo had more handballs than any other team has had in a quarter this year. Changing up their game plan.

    Was not Caufield the bears   with that horrible spot under the stand in Prices Park ?

    GWS wining against Sydney too, hopefully they can get up move 4pts clear of Freo.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
