Senior 3. Jesse Motlop

He is definitely an extravert and we desperately need extraverts in the side.

Might even be able to help our media team out

I don’t know a lot about the kid coming up but reading the community on here and other external information, it seems like we really stole a good one who should have gone higher in the draft. After Brodie Kemp in 2019 falling all the way to our pick (he was the player I really wanted), Jesse Motlop falling to our pick this year is another ‘wow‘ moment.

I know he has just turned eighteen, yet something tells me he will be ready to go come round one. Super excited about Jesse, he has so much burst and a powerful leg. Could see him becoming a player that spends equal time in the midfield as up forward. Well done Nick Austin, you are proving to be a very decent list manager. Bring on season 2022, cannot wait.

A Fremantle supporter had this to say to me yesterday, “He'll take a couple of years. I saw a lot of him this season as a South Freo member and he did struggle a bit coming up against men.”

Mind you he didn’t mean it as a criticism as this was his first post on Jesse, “Just when you think there is nothing Carlton can do to make you hate them anymore, they go and take Motlop. Cretins.”

So he does like Jesse a lot but thinks he will need a couple of years to develop. But if he has a huge pre-season this year, then who knows.

Foxfooty are saying that Hawthorn trumped us by taking Connor MacDonald. Anyone got any thoughts about that? Were we certain to take MacDonald?

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.

Jesse seems like a good kid, we could definitely use another goal kicker. Hopefully we've turned the corner in development as he'll need a good system to flourish in. Good luck Jesse.

Welcome to Carlton Jesse...

Kind of think by Voss and Austin's reactions Motlop may have been our #1 target all along...

Any player a club get 'was our number one target and we thought he would have been gone before our pick came up'

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

Not a bad thing either, needs to earn a spot rather than given it. His output is far from certain being a selection each week

Not to mention Jack Martin. Lots of threats in the air and on the ground. Hopefully they do their work on set shot goal kicking to make the most of the opportunities.

Don't forget Martin, crikey.

Just saw his Dad listed at 185cm, 93kg.

Good potential to grow more and beef up!

 

[Magruder]

Some good, non-flashy contributions among the side steps and the space creating Shimmies.

didn’t see a left sided disposal though.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Yes, but can he run through the midfield?

yes.

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

Nah, give him a number to make it his own.

Motlop Curnow Honey
Durdin McKay JSOS

I like Durdin, will be a player but for now Martin is well ahead of him.

For me it means our depth is getting stronger. Adding more class.

 

[Team DJ]

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

Back to the middle if the ground where he belongs

 

[bluesmell]

If he continues in his trajectory, I he’s just what we need. Smarts, speed,hard working goal savy

 

[Love the Drake]

Really good get. A genuine small forward with X factor who can work higher up the ground is exactly what we needed. Honey, Durdin and Owies are a totally different type of small forward.
hoping he settles in well, hits the gym, burns up the track, and plays 10-12 games this year.

 

[thylacine60]

let him play without pressure - have fun young man, you'll be fun to watch.....

 

[Mike D]

Hard to fault recruiting Jesse with pick #27.

 

[Arr0w]

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

He's also bigger than all those guys except for Honey - a good combination for Voss & Hansen to work with

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

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

I wonder if Voss has got to know him prior due to Jesse's Port connection through his dad and uncle (Steven)?

He's got the game in his genes and lets hope he can impact quickly.

Just wonder if he can ride bulls?
