    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Barely cemented his spot in the team. Needs to do a lot more but he looks to have the ability to do so. Could be the biggest thing since Tony Lockett. Could be the biggest flop since Ryan Fitzgerald.

    2010 will be a telling year for this young man.

      Jessie gets an 8.

      6 for his season (being dropped kicking 20 then coming back);
      1 for handling the HUGE amount of pressure that's been put on his head; and
      1 for having a harem. I've never seen the boy out and about unless there's a minimum of 4 little girles tagging him.

        Jessie is a girl's name. It's Jesse. I'll give him a 7, he started the year as a back up ruck man in training, finished as a key forward. You can't really fault that.

          Yes he does, my daughter has seen him at nightclubs and it's the same there.
          He should get another point for having the harem but still coming across (at least to an old girl like me) as a really nice, grounded and suprisingly unassuming boy.

          Gee, very harsh! I reckon the kid did everything asked of him.

              Oops. Sorry.
              Can a M.O.D. change it??

                I don't know who Jessie is either, but I'll give Jesse a 7. Loads of potential for Mocha!

                  Miles away from both, but has the potential to closer to the big man than the funny man.

                    Yes, he didn't do a huge amount but he just might be the next Buddy, sans paunch.

                    If I'd known about the harem I'd have given him a point for that too.

                        7 from me, I liked the way he was dropped, got mad, got even, kicked 20, got over it, got back, kept improving. AND I like the article where he exhibits a real sense of self and having absolutely no tabs on himself. He is either a fantastic spin doctor, OR he has the potential to be anything he wants to be. Go Mocca. (Which by the way is the nickname his father gave him, he said so, something to do with a mocking bird.) I was worried for a while as I know he has a harem, but I think he has his head pointed in the right direction, now.

                            7 - becuase its just the number you go for when a blokes had a good season, had a fair dinkum dip, but just didn't put it togther for the whole year.

                              8 out of 10. Rating is anchored to expectation not actual performance. i.e. he exceeded my expectations.

                              He exceeded my expectation late in the season by shining when he was needed to. He proved himself to be a potential power forward and a serious weapon in our future arsenal.

                              What I like about him is his agility and run for such a massive unit. He has a good leap and is very quick on the lead. If he can develop softer hands and become a more reliable kick (more penetration in particular), he will start to kick some serious bags if given the opportunity.

                              If I was to rate him on actual output, would be a 5-6.
                              He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.
