I think Freo supporters will be crying more at Jesse's performance. They gave us pick 6 for Hogan and traded him for pick 54.

    I remember seeing Jesse in his first year and he was taking Carey like pack marks back then. Unique talent

    I'm genuinely pleased that he's come through such a lot and is at this point. Always had it in him.

    Absolutely wrapped for him. Reaching his potential which is massive.

    Can’t recall seeing a negative comment about Hogan on here in a long time. I would think it’s quite unique that so many supporters from his ex team would have such a soft spot for him. I know I do.

    BBO, when he's on, there's no one who read the ball in flight as well as Jesse. Hope that helps

    It would if he was wearing red and blue RTG !!

    He had a really horrible run when he was with us. Losing his dad and getting cancer. Doesn’t get much worse for a 21 year old. 
    Seeing him succeed now is really nice to see. Really can’t see how you’d begrudge him.

    Exactly. Some people don’t come back from that let alone do what Jesse is doing.

    pre-2021 premiership I think supporters thought differently about ex-players. I know I did. I typically saw them as traitors. It's different now.

    That 50 was created by the umpires in the first half because a player gave the ball to the wrong person. Then when asking who to give it to they pay the 50 for time wasting.

    Man I hate that rule. Surely the umpire has to make sure he’s heard before giving a fifty??

    Exactly! It isn’t the players fault if they can’t hear the umpire

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
