I'd say Trenners is an upgrade on Bugg, he's got a mature body, uses the ball very well and knows how to kick a goal, do guys like Kennedy do enough to cover the class of Trenners, i think you could easily leave Pedo bear out and add Trenners to that bench as well.

Probably just have a [censored] i reckon.

I reckon these days 99% of it is done by the managers anyways, Jesse really just says what he wants to do, i wouldn't be at all surprised if he was just very aware of the fact what ever he said would be heavily read into and probably end up on top of an article and all over the news, can't just be as simple as waiting for now.

you want to make major changes to a team that has just won 3 games in a row? i reckon out Wagner, M.Jones, O'Mac In: Lumumba Dunn, Brayshaw

Good look!

Robbie Gray, Max Gawn, Daniel Menzel ( granted not long back but certainly not lost any ability ) and if he's fit and firing he's head of Grimes, Matt jones, Bugg, Harmes play as a high half forward rotating through the midfield, maybe a bit off half back in the daniel cross mold as he isn't quick, but smart, good overhead and uses it well.

I personally don't think he'll leave the Crows anytime soon, he's extremely highly rated over there, and it makes sense because he's a good footballer who i believe still has a lot of upside

He's a limited footballer unfortunately and a lot of players are overtaking him, absolute ripper bloke so would love him to come good but unfortunately i don't see a position for him in the side this year, or going forward beyond handy depth.

I'm sure he will, and i agree but i think you've missed the point. Cale Hooker and Michael Hurley are AA defenders who have both been linked to moves to other clubs but that doesn't get anywhere near the attention Jesse does, even thought they're OOC this year, not next. it's ridiculous.

Maybe just to address the rubbish, over the top critisism that's coming on the back of one average game.. Poor Jesse cops it worse than Jack Watts does, two yaers left on his contract and far more strong speculation about him then any other player out of contract this year.

the Tyson & Salem deal still rates right up there with the better deals this clubs done in a long time

Kb has lost the plot, Hogan led the league in contested marks last year and kicked slighly less goals, then all three of them combined in his first year.

Jesse to me comes across as one of the more genuine guys during interviews

to be fair, Cripps season was outstanding! i think of the last 5 years he's been the second best behind Hogan

correct, but in my opinion Harmes has shown far more, i was a bit underwhelmed by Hunt, especailly given all the talking up he was getting.

Pretty sure Jono Brown and Jesse have caught up a few times in a mentor capacity so maybe he could help, not always the best kick but had a really strong run up/action

Jesse Hogan and Tom Mcdonald both looking like staying on as well, way to much positivity, what ever happened to the old Melbourne?

and the area it's happening, if they get out the back we are stuffd, but we are going to turn over a lot of balls up forward

they're pretty young Jes, maybe you should sign on for 10 years so you don't miss out? :D

I understand what the Ox means, the kicking could be the difference between Jesse being a Travis Cloke or a josh Kennedy, having said that he seems to have very few bad kicking days, if he feels comfortable with that run up, go for it. this is not the first big comment OX has made about Jesses contract, one not long ago about how we shouldn't break the bank to keep him right after he put talks on hold

I don't know, i wasn't as impressed with Weitering as most people seem to be, Moore is a gun, i think Oliver is right in the mix and i reckon Petracca will be as well

Press confrence at 8:30 rumours sent the blood pressure through the roof! i thought he's either retiring, out for the year or just re-signed for 10 years

I just love the sheer effort and hunger of the kid, he goes in 3 or 4 times at the contest every time, all day and tries to rip it away, and when he gets it has the pace to burst away I know alot are saying Voss or Black. but i really see more of Chris Judd,

Jesse Hogan was also reasonable in his first full season, comprehensively beating the ALL Australian full back in his fourth game. i am expecting Petracca to be just as impressive as well when he gets out there! we're pretty blessed at the minute.

This might be unpopular but i am not sure Brayshaw should come straight back in, he's best 22 in my opinion but like all young players i'd like to see him build some form through Casey for a week or two, the team that's just played has won three in a row, so keeping unforced changes to a minimum would be my plan i think
