It sounds like Freo have tried to put some pressure on Jesse via media scuttlebut to get his social life in order, which would ideally help him handle any mental health Issues. Classic good cop (club), bad cop (media speculation) routine being played out. It’s amateur, disrespectful and self fulfilling, in that if that’s how Freo handle players going through such issues and times, it contributes to making it unlikely Jesse will play footy for them again.

On Frost, and “Frost Ball”, it was fun to watch, when it worked, and a sign of our desperate lack of depth when it didn’t. Prefer Harmes or Smith or even Tomlinson playing the role Frosty played. I will miss yelling “FROOOSTY!!!” Excitedly as he charges chaotically forward...

Have a year off Jesse, get sorted/well... Then come home to the Dees! ps was thinking about how much structure and support Jesse had built in his time at MFC (ages 17-23), and that walking away from that to go to Freo may not have helped him...

Quintessential internet moment.

Hardtack put the muzz on him.

Hearing some of the reports, it sounds like playing Jackson as a deep forward given his height, agility and speed (lead up) and ground ball skills when the ball hits the deck, could be the plan..? He’d make a challenging Match up for oppositions, and would free TMac and Wied to lead up wings etc...

On the Bennell hunched back thing, it reminds me of this bloke...

Brutal Josh... another Prelim loss oh dear!... I was at Waverley the day Jimmy... not another loss.

A for Awesome. Trade and draft, the highlights for 2019. Anyone who thinks otherwise should turn up their romance and optimism Dial, and think again. The MFC football department, and now trade and draft team, should be applauded for the way they’ve handled and evolved through this shitty year. Absolute professionals working hard. ????? Makes me proud to support this club. All class. Go Demons. p.s. I wish I knew “shitty” got through the censor earlier in the year... ?

Totally agree, our 2019 trade and draft season has been to opposite to our 2019 season, an outstanding success. - 2-3 x mature Top 22 campaigners in Tomlinson and Langdon (and possibly Bennell) - 1 x top quality tall forward/ruck/mid in Jackson - 1 x top quality livewire small Forward in Pickett - 1 x outside rebound defender in Rivers - 3 x x-factor and game breakers in Bennell, Pickett and Jackson. If we are blessed by the injury gods, we’ve now go the ingredients to win a flag or two, starting 2020. Go Demons

Yes I did realise that. Hence the “swings and round-abouta” comment.

The thing about a player with Kozzie speed skill and agility, is that as he builds his engine, he’ll be able to impact in congestion, forward initially, but into the midfield at times to add some x-factor in there... in the way Melky and Jeffy can (could) at times.

Oooooh mama! This kid can mark and kick goals too... who'd a thought?

Are there options for us to trade up the order overnight?

Why dwell on the possibility of him returning..? We just recruited three players all from interstate in Langdon, Tomlinson and Bennell... swings and round about's If we're a good club playing good footy he'll stay for the glory and good time that come with success. If he leaves, there will be a couple of awesome Victorian boys keen to come home... Welcome to the mighty Demons Luke Jackson! May the force be with you.

Sounds like blues want Kemp but don’t think he’s a pick 11, looking to trade down...

Green Kemp or Pickett for pick 11..?

Those pumping up Green can relax... evidently we weren’t alone in not rating him...

We don’t need another big bodied inside mid. With Petracca coming into the middle more, taking Green seems like more of the same, and with Oliver, Viney, Trac and Harmes,... do we really need another? pass for me interesting the Sydney appear to also be passing...
