    Agree with both of you. But my take on jesse is that he has it all, and he does work hard and he has the desire, no doubt about it, but the problem is the "it" factor. Some guys have all the package and application, but the "it" factor just doesn't work. I hope the lad finds it this year, I really do.
    Me too, there's no doubt he has the right attitude, he's always been a team player.

      Clever! I hadn't realised that Jessica Alba is Latin for Jessie White.
      He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

          Tippett?

          My prediction: when selected in round 13 K Tippett will say "I am just want to play my role in the team!"

                      Aunty please don't compare Jesse to Teddy. Jesse seems to be a terrific bloke, with the build and the temperament to be whatever he wants to be but personally, I don't think he has what it takes between the ears.

                        Ooohhh you said it out loud Jewels! He has obviously got something between his ears, he is involved in what looks to be a good business after all. But .... Gowornn Jesse prove us all wrong!

                          there seem to be a large difference in IQ which has allowed Teddy to learn how to play better...and it took him 5 years or so. I for one suggested getting rid of him when he used to make many dumb decisions and skill errors - so clearly it is very difficult and very rare to improve in the manner that he has done. Or maybe I am wrong and it is just maturity...Jesse was very Gen Y doofus (with a heart of gold) when he arrived...if at 25 he has become a man then maybe that is all he needs to finally become a footballer who can improve :-)

                            Wow, I've never met Jesse, so I guess I can't really comment.
                            I would hope that those who have commented on his intelligence, or lack thereof, have not only met him, but have got to know him to make calls like that.

                              Mine was not an actual call on his intelligence, more a get-it-together kind of thing.
                              I once worked at a golf club and we had two pretty good young golfers there, both had the skills and even the attitude to go far but it was often said amongst the older golfers that player one would "make it" whilst player two, who was the more skilled, was just as dedicated and hard working at his craft, would end up being a damn fine pro somewhere but would never cut the mustard in the pro tour.
                              Twenty plus years down the track, player one is still making a fair living on the pro tour and player two is gone and forgotten.
                              That's what I meant about Jesse.
