Reminds me of a young James hird.

Are you trolling or what?

 

[Jabba73]

Any idea what his 20m sprint was?

About 20 metres, pretty sure

Welcome Jesse.

Like the look of this kid, really mature for a guy yet to turn 18, very refreshing.

We have some real competition for a small forward spot now

Sounds like exactly what we need. Welcome Jesse.

Thank F we are drafting for need rather than just half back flankers who "might" play mid.

He was just interviewed on AFL.com. What a lovely personality. He also a podcaster and film maker. If nothing else - and I’m sure there’s much else - he will be great for team morale. He’s currently with family and friends in Darwin.

I know he doesn’t play for us anymore, but so is Eddie hope they get in touch

Interesting, just heard that we interviewed Motlop 3 times

 

[Magical_EddieBetts]

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

Think this is actually spot on.

These days a small forward has to apply pressure and pinch hit further up the ground.

But to me you can't go past the basics. They need to be one-touch/clean and make something out of nothing.

Jesse ticks both those boxes plus applies pressure and brings others into the game.

Has all the tools for a small fwd IMHO.

His old man and 2 brothers played well for VIC teams.

 

[Jabba73]

Let him make his own history

It's much easier to interview remotely, via Zoom, without too many spying eyes

Agree Jesse was my favorite and will help fill the void our great Eddie Betts has left , we needed the ground level skill and forward pressure.
Great snare Nick the recruiting performance this year has been top notch.

And when he hits a tackle, it sticks hard.

He's an absolute bargain I reckon.

Welcome to Carlton Jesse.

 

[Mondyboy]

Looks like he’s team first as well. And can play on a wing.

I’m sold on that alone non of our small forwards can make the distance
Has lovely weighting on his kick a bit of punch too

Honey can and has kicked 50m

Welcome Jesse
Has talent in spades - a high upside pick
Looking forward to getting him into the club and crumbing to our tall forwards

 

[AT97]

I’d say jesse and cuningham are going to get on.

 

[bmaurizio]

Confident but level headed youngster, very happy with the selection.

Yep we desperately lack a small forward with X factor...someone who can make something happen out of nothing, side step opponents and shimmy, snap goals etc.

Huge need so I'm glad we got this type of player.

He can one of the reasons I like him also but plays a bit more like medium lead up
He can tackle and has pace exciting times

 

[Malifice]

We needed a small forward, and didnt have to reach to get one.

Bottom ager, good agility, lays a tackle and puts in work off the ball with blocks etc. Reads it well.

Best of luck Jesse. There is a small forward spot there for the taking if you make it yours.
