OMG what a surprise this is - wonder what we have got that we could offer them? B)

I'll bite, I have no idea what you are talking about this time.

Only rumours I have heard regarding Port (in relation to our players... not theirs) has to do with Moloney, and as a free agent that ain't much.

 

I'm interested, depending on the cost, but I don't think we'd be willing to offer as much as other clubs in terms of picks & I doubt Port would want too many of our players.

Would happily trade Petterd or Cook for him.

We had this little discuss like 2 weeks ago - http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/31527-straight-trade-jurrah-for-jacobs/ but there is always method in the silliness, some of the silliest looking deals are always the best ones.

This is one player you need to be prepared to offer "We will pay you what you want - within reason" kid can play could easily be a 10 year player, is ready to go round 1 2013

Good luck with that one. Hope you are right.

Nah sorry, can't see any trade value with Jurrah, he will be delisted and picked up by Port or rookie listed. Ben Jacobs has currency for Port and we will need to pay something to secure him... as I imagine that several clubs in Melb would be interested.

The reference to Moloney was more to do with that they were one of the clubs looking to pick him up, not that we would get anything out of it.

The key is to secure Jacobs - get him to sign a deal. Once that is done Port are helpless - If we can display to him & his management we "tried" he would be a perfect PSD target. If he comes in the trade period so be it - but we must be ruthless with this one. But much will depend on Ben himself - but surely we can put a good pitch, walk up start 22 games, right player profile to fit in the "Neeld mould" ready to go round 1 - "How much do you want again - within reason."

Moloney is part of another strategy - I dont think ite really matters where he goes. Dont get the strategies confused.

Ben Jacobs HAS to be a MFC target. Very skilled. Would fit into a half back/quarterback role that we DESPARATELY need.

Get your point about him being skilled and a target but not so sure about us desperately needing to fill the half back role. I guess it depends where Watts, Grimes, Strauss and Blease fit.

We do desperately need quality mids though.

We need quality anything who'll have a Crack.

As much as i would love to see Melbourne getting him... i just cannot see it happening


Played 11 in his first year, had glandular fever in preseason 2012 and then returned in rd 8 to play the remaining 14 I believe.

rebounding HB and can go through the middle, very highly rated junior that got heaps of it.

Given he's joining the one way freeway from Adelaide, Caddy is playing hard to get and Sharon has gone west, shouldnt we be into this kid?

I agree. Lets get him, c'mon Dees.. Get this hard at it H/B - Mid...

We must have someone who would like to go to SA to play for many years. We will have picks avail'... deal...

The last time we had a hardass small defender was wrecker.

Ben Jacobs. is this the hard small defender we need to take over from Grimies old haunts.

How can we get him?


why not try and get him to go through the PSD? We need to pick up some quality there surely.

Because heaps of clubs want him, he won't make it through to the PSD. Richmond are front runners at the moment

Perhaps consider a straight swap for Jordy Gysberts. Both 1st round picks... I'm open to a trade on the condition that the recruiting department thinks that Ben Jacobs can give us some better spread from contests than Jordy gives us. I wouldn't be offering the world though.. at the end of the day, I don't see Jacobs starting in our fully fit 22.

Jacobs could be our player in the backline.

A handy pickup for defence, who can go into the middle.

I believe he's meant to be a very good kick, and very good endurance.

Plenty of time.

That's a full three seasons of 24.

How does 24 work? Is it like other tv shows that are actually not the full hour per episode (i.e. around the 43 minute mark) or was each episode screened for longer than an hour to make up for the loss of time, or were there more than 24 episodes?

On Jacobs, have liked what I've seen of him.

He sounds appealing. Do you think a trade for Gysberts would get it done?

Yes I like it. MFC give Gysberts and pick 45 = Port give Jacobs and pick 66.

 

Just announced on SEN. Jacobs is seeking a trade to Victoria.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
