Who was his great uncle who played for Carlton?

Nice F.R.I.E.N.D.S hat. Hopefully he'll still be there for a few (goals), when the rain starts to fall.

If I remember correctly we were linked with a possible trade for his dad when he was at North Melbourne and Pagan was our coach. Would be interesting to know if his dad had any words for him about his thoughts of Carlton.

Seems to be a confident young bloke and that will give him a shot at playing senior from scratch if he has a full preseason.
I think he’ll be one of Voss’s favourites.

For those who haven't seen it, checked out his latest tik tok..absolute gold. Username: jessemotlop

Seems like a great kid who speaks well with plenty of self confidence. Looks like a good user who hits em hard, can't wait to see what he can do

Because the system is yet another AFL sponsored rort that gives some clubs more advantages than others. The SA/WA clubs have basically had free access to many of the Aboriginal juniors in their states the last couple of years. Or the NM zone that gave them exclusive access to Tasmania juniors like Tarryn Thomas, etc.

Plus the Suns have been given access to almost all of the NT kids and on top of that they don't even have to use a pick to take them.
It is a rort alright.

Like Jesse himself, suspect we sold a few clubs a bit of candy, by overplaying our interest in McDonald.

You wouldn’t call a Tinder date 3 times per week. That coupled with Voss’ convo 0.5 seconds after the pick went through leads me to believe Motlop was our priority all along.

I love the idea but it doesn’t hold water. Hawks aren’t going take a bloke they don’t want just because they hear we’re also interested. Clubs will take the players they want, the only time there are shenanigans is when there might be the same club picking a couple times in a few picks - a la us with Harry and Charlie

Depends really.

Players move up the draft board on the basis of interest and perceived interest from other clubs. It’s what leads recruiters to re-evaluate where they rank players, and they have contingencies if certain players might not be available - eg live trading.

I’d hazard a guess we wanted Motlop, but were happy to leak our interest in McDonald because he wasn’t our priority.

I’m confident that not only will he be the best Motlop to play the game he’ll also be the best Jesse to play the game. (Not the derogatory Scottish term either)

 

[Michael Jezz]

Motlop is actually more a natural small forward than any other player on the list

Fisher - HHF as a junior and that's how he should be used
Owies - Was a mid before he transitioned to basketball
Honey - More a hit up HF, than a traditional small forward
Durdin - Played the majority of his junior footy as a mid, but size forced him to play forward in his final junior year

Can you see him on a wing?

 

[Arr0w]

Can you see him on a wing?

Possibly, but stated previously that he is more that Wille Rioli type, where he is damaging as a crumbing or link/pressure small forward, then play forward side of a stoppage

 

[Mondyboy]

I believe this is the last year of that particular loophole.

Voss will love him having come from Port who are blessed with numerous dangerous smalls. Hope he plays round one and stays there.

For me it means Fisher is under the pump and may be looking at some time In the 2’s

Fisher is a bit like cowboy
Just never really happened.

Not sure if been mentioned before, but I just worked past player Rod Wadell is Jesse's Grand Uncle.
Rod's sister is Daniel Motlop's mother and Jesse's Dad is Daniel.

Was looking up story on Rod Wadell when worked it out.

We need a small, elusive, fast and tricky forward. He ticks boxes in that regard.
Here's to hoping he turns into a Betts-like threat. Welcome Jesse. No pressure buddy!

Sounds like he works further up the ground than Eddie did. I'm not expecting the crazy ass goals Eddie could pick off from anywhere. Just normal Motlop/Waddell level skills with a good work ethic.
