Senior 3. Jesse Motlop

How will he go in Vic? Is there home sickness factor here?

Given his aspirations to work in TV/Movies I'd say he'll be pretty comfortable in a move to somewhere he can gain greater exposure, opportunities and qualifications for that industry.

Go home factor not a worry. He'll be a world traveller.

So much fun to watch, such an entertaining player. Really hope he makes it, would love to see him lighting up the G.

You can put down your glasses. It's a Motlop! It's a Motlop that will finish it off! Kick it Jesse. And he does!

And Carlton will win the flag!!!

Daniel Rioli drafted 2015, gets premiership in 2017 in his second season
Willie Rioli drafted 2016, gets premiership in 2018 in his second season
Kosi Pickett drafted 2019, gets premiership in 2021 in his second season

Hope Jesse Motlop is our success story

You mean I have to wait until 2023? Jeez, what a buzzkill.

Depends if you believe the Bluemour about taking him from ten days ago. I see no real positive in broadcasting your draft intentions via social media myself.

Motlop was interviewed three times in the last week so I can't see Carlton being all to set on MacDonald

Upgrade on Eddie’s output last year....

Welcome Jesse! All the best

He will play early, have fun and he will like it



Really level headed, balanced player with really footy IQ and vision.

How many games do you see Motlop playing in the seniors next year?
Will he have any issues running out games?

10 -12, will need to improve his fitness base, but that will happen over the coming years

each time I hear that piece of commentary I die a little more - it was a "cathy leading into the straight" opportunity and he could have gone with anything but he went "an amigo" and stuffed it.........

thats why they have a list, in case others they want are taken first

gotta cover all bases

 

[FRUMPY]

he looks good, im sure we can make him an uninspiring half back flanker in no time .

 

[thylacine60]

well he did!

It just occurred to me that Motlop is the only young Draftee to come to CFC this year
There's no other draftees for him to bond and share the new AFL experience with.

Lucky for us he is a matured youngster and an extrovert.
He should be able to thrive in this professional team environment rather than being worried about homesickness
Watch him coming into contention for RD1, if not - his debut would not far from the early rounds in 2022

Yeah i was thinking the same thing - going from primary school to high school and you are the only year 7.....

 

[Blue Flame]

Any idea what his 20m sprint was?

A foot race I think, but perhaps someone can confirm

Meet Jesse Motlop

This is what new Blue Jesse Motlop had to say when interviewed at the draft combine last month.

he looks good, im sure we can make him an uninspiring half back flanker in no time .

We’ve still got time to enroll him in the “Carlton-knock-all-the-flair-out-of-them-and-turn-them-into-a-shitty-shutdown-lockdown-defender-Academy”.

 

[passmark]

Give him #14
"Retire" #19 as the "Carlton Respects" number and use it on all of the marketing campaigns for that.

Never retire a number EVER. It’s bullshit.

 

[FRUMPY]

Never retire a number EVER. It’s bullshit.

Agree, let someone else make it their number - adds to the legacy of a number.

Blues get a son of gun, why Freo misses out on NGA member Motlop

Fremantle NGA member Jesse Motlop has been drafted by Carlton

[bmaurizio]

Yup this kid is a special talent, he’ll do well, confident and level headed youngster too, my preferred choice absolutely over the moon.
Enjoy your footy Jesse , hope your made comfortable quickly and feel part of our great footy club.

Eddie just commented on the blues insta post of his highlights, wants him to wear the no.19

His old man wore it at North too, so providing he wants it, makes sense. Did suggest Goodes as an idol and wore 37 underage, although Boyd has it.

 

[smashbox gill]

can someone tell me why Motlop was linked to freos NGA. When his entire family are a football family and his dad played AFL. Do some clubs have different eligibility criteria

 

[Coops93]

Wish Eddie was around, learning from the best is always special.
