Yes it is a good deal - I agree with you - try to sell the club to Jacobs and try to do a proper deal with Port and if not take him in the PSD. Jurrah is a non-factor.

Hypothetically speaking the deal might need a bit of tweaking - but in theory you could try.

Port - Out pick 7 & Jacobs In Liam + Pick 13 + Second Rounder we could pick up from another deal

Melbourne in - Pick 7 Jacobs Out Liam + Pick 13 + Second Rounder we could pick up from another deal

but I'm sure you could still massage depend on how ruthless you want to be & how much you may or may not want to preserve a pre-season draft pick.

Thinking might be if you have to give up 3&4 to preserve Viney into the second round pick 7 might be good enough to grab your second person in the national draft.

Again are we playing poker or dominoes.

    Are people still bloody putting Jurrah in a trade situation.

    FFS.

    Seriously. Jurrah is worth nothing and if port want him, they'll get him via the rookie draft. Thats if he even nominates.

    Stop wasting people's time. Close this thread.

    Honestly, classic troll behavior.I thought the Dr signed off and said his goodbyes. Thought that might be too good to be true. Thank god for the ignore function is all i can say.

    Had a day off - go away you are just noise - I thought I had got rid of you obviously not. You are the troll along with a few of your "mates." Please stay on topic.

    If Liam is leaving it would be devoid of us not to attempt to assist him. We are building a new culture around here. The ways of the past are gone.

    Any chance of Melbourne picking up Jurrah again as a rookie??

    how do you draw the conclusion Jurrah is worth nothing? If this was truly the case then there wouldn't have been countless inflammatory comment directed at him after the announcement of his departure. No one would of cared.

    Jurrah is still young and huge on skill and a knack for goals. Melbourne always looked a chance when he was on the field.

    What a disspointment Jurrah has been, provided exitement to all Melbourne supporters but just fell away. Jurrah has alot of natural talent but was never prepared to do the hard yards required to play AFL it's a pity but there it is

    He has too much baggage maybe Port wll take him a very big maybe

    Honestly, I would have thought NO at this stage. Liam needs time to get his mind straight - we will continue to support him.

    Only a complete nut-job would consider giving up ND7 for a player he could pick up with pick 1000 in the Rookie draft.

    What would you offer then? If you cant come up with a better alternative - dont read the thread - simple really. (82 and counting :o )

    Jurrah is worth nothing to us. He has walked out, If you think anyone will trade a good player for him you clearly dont understand how trading works.

    I fail to see how this quote is in any way relevant to the discussion of his trade value. It doesn't change the fact that he has walked out on the club. It doesn't change the fact that he has stated clearly that he is going to live in Adelaide with his family. How can you see any trade value in a player that the club no longer holds? Liams AFL options are presently at one club, and that is Port. Given that Adelaide has said they don't want him and he has said that he will not live anywhere else, they have no fear of a rival club drafting him, and can happily wait until they want to take him, be it the end of the National Draft, the PSD or the Rookie draft.

    So, given that Liam is playing at Port or nowhere next season, how is the fact that the club is going to continue to foot his legal bills in any way a factor?

    Your "exit" policy is as vital as your entry policy. You never shut any doors with a loud bang - those days are over.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
