Asked if he wants to stay at Melbourne, he paused, shrugged his shoulders and said something along the lines of, that's what I need to decide.

Same deal as Roos, can't have any half hearted soft [censored], either in for the long haul or right out the door, need to get someone with abit more heart in return.

What I hope from this: The players sit down after training tomorrow night in some sort of leading teams style chat, and players like Jones, Clark, Trengove, Dawes, Garland, Gawn, Clisby, Jones M, Vin

Horrible. Could not have been less of an endorsement. I'm genuinely peeved.

A young player who hasn't got near reaching his potential, who has quite publicly had a swipe at his former coach and who is out of of contract and not wanting to sign until his struggling club get a new coach (ed) is going on the footy show.

God, Jack's manager must be a jack off of the highest order

Hey Rod you are so right JW is very poorly represented

Clearly not happy with the club at the moment. If he wants out then let's get the best trade we can for him. Trade him for a promising young midfielder. We need midfielders!

Gone.

V disappointing. May as well take the number 4 off the jumpers now. Another kick in the teeth for dees supporters.

yep I feel gutted as a dees member

MFC should seriously consider letting him know there is no place for soft [censored] on our list, and that he will be traded regardless of what he wants to do because he is nowhere near good enough to be holding the club to randsom.

Stuff finding the best possible trade...don't delist him before the national draft and let him get gobbled up by GWS. At least he will be used to the floggings.

Just like how GWS gave us a flogging this year?

I'm trying to convince myself that he is genuinely weighing up options. Gut feel is not at all.

I'd say he has a very clear idea where he wants to go, and would have been thinking about it for some time.

If I was him, I'd be gone too.

Hmmm dunno,

He sounded like someone that has to weigh up his future, sure it didn't sound good, but he sounds like he has faith also in Peter Jackson. Will hold judgement at the moment, and if he goes, we should get currency for him, if he stays lets hope the new footy director and coach can get the best out of him.

I will agree with the comment someone made above regarding why was he allowed on the show... it doesn't paint him or the club in a good light.

One of the most pathetic responses I've ever heard. It was feeble and I wouldn't be fussed if the club put him up for trade now. What a passenger.

There was an opportunity to show some strength, and he passed. Winning doesn't just happen Jack, and it would be nice if you acknowledged some responsibility.

Turning Melbourne around is a competitive persons job and football's full of them. See ya, Jack.

I am one of them, but I feel sorry for the supporters. It's bloody hard.

Unless Jack wants to put himself at the mercy of the draft the MFC can choose whether we agree to a trade. This is good advertising to get the best trade and a renewed board and FD could entice him to stay.

He's had a pretty tough run since we drafted him and looks like he needs a fresh start.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
