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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
