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 ?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
