As a supporter, I was lead to believe Jesse’s decision was around the club’s prosperity and win’s/losses.
However, in one little interview grab this seems to have changed “it’s not my thought process at all. It’s not really a money thing, it’s just (about) where I want to be”
Let’s hope that’s Melbourne but we need to be well prepared if it’s not.
I propose the club goes to Jesse at the end of this year and asks if he’s in or out. We don’t want another 12 months of it dragging on and the distraction.
Should he play the homesick card we get on the front foot and deal with Fremantle.
Request their first pick this year (top 3 you’d suspect) first pick 2018 and Lachie Neale.
Then pass on Freo’s 2017 pick to GWS for Jon Patton.
We get a ready-made replacement, a young gun midfielder and a round 1 pick the following year.
