Would likely get a bag of chips for him at this stage. More value in keeping him for his experience than giving him away cheaply. Certainly the development of Gawn and Pencil indicates his value in that regard, and if he can stay injury free there may be another decent run in him.

:The residual issue is what he adds outside of the ruck contest, which is pretty much nothing. I think Roos can address that.

Without a decent offer, which seems extremely unlikely, I'd be keeping him on.

    I suppose I should've gone through the entire post! Interesting that we've refuted the article, usually if there's truth to it they let it slide.

    I still think it would be the best move for both parties, but whatever happens happens.

    Going by our recent history a quick denial to a fresh rumour is reason enough to highten suspicion.

    I think at that time when Jamar signed that contract, that Gawn, Spencer, & Fitz were under-performing with Gawn injured.

    Stefan Martin had been going OK though.

    The value in trading Jamar is not what we would get back in a trade, it's ridding ourselves of a 2 year albatross and freeing what you'd assume is some pretty significant cap space.

    Since when is cap space an issue for us Doc? We're up to our ears in cap space are we not?

    Well if they come out and say that they have agreed to part then that would probably lower his trade value.

    Whereas if we come out and say we are willing to trade him but he is still wanted then we might be able to get a slightly better deal.

    Pick 87 instead of 88 then?

    This would be a nothing trade. We already have 7 spots to fill this offseason.

    Meh.

    Yep we should be but who knows what the list manager's been doing the last few years. We may need that extra cap room at the end of next year if we want to keep Frawley, re-sign Jones etc

    7 spots? Isn't it 8? Or am I miscounting, perhaps due to rookie upgrades or something.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
