With all our own dramas, this event has gone unrecognised.

Rapt for Jesse after a checkered career to date.  Great reward for his hard work.

Still one of my favourite players.  He (and captain Toby) are the only reasons the finals hold any interest.

Hope Jesse adds a 🥇 to the Coleman and holds up 🏆

 

Good on ya Jesse. Still luv ya and you’re brilliant to watch. Hope you get a premiership medal.

 

from having a kick with him at the launch of the old 'new' MFC logo at yarra park, he was super nice and also had a great kick :-) in my years of players leaving (excluding gus), jesse has been the one the one that has been the most upsetting..

love how when he plays us he plays hard, but not dirty/mouthy too. respect.

Really happy for Jesse.

Still have a soft spot for him, just wish we could have lured him back to the MFC after he left Freo.  Probably would have won the flag the past two years with him leading the forward line and Roo playing the second key forward role.

Congrats to Jesse still a favourite as is Toby

Will be there supporting them against the swans in their first final 

I have a recurring dream in which Jesse is a mate and he’s MFC, unfortunately I wake up. Never mind, congratulations to him for winning the Coleman and I too am supporting him, Toby and their teammates this finals series.

I wonder if we tried.

100%

Jesse.  Congratulations from Dees supporters.  Glad you can now smile and your talent has shined.  Just wish it was in red and blue ,  not in orange and charcoal 

Very happy for him. Really wish he could have stayed. I know we are meant to Boo players who left, but I still love most of ours.

So happy for him, he deserves it. Makes me a little sad to remember just how freaking good he was as a 19-year-old in the red and blue. But really glad he's fulfilling all of that potential.

Apart from Howe I can't really think of any I don't have a soft spot for.


10 years on and he's my favourite player in the comp outside of the Deez. Love him to bits. if he was with us in '23, we win the flag.

I think Jesse still has a few fans on here. I stumbled across this and ended up watching the whole thing. Jesse's story in his own words. The first 40 minutes or so are around his time at Melbourne, everything he was going though & finally leaving for Freo. It's honest, raw and equally enlightening and bloody heartbreaking for his Dees fans. If the big fella still has a place in your affections, I recommend this highly.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    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.
