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.

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.

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

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

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
