    Bartlett said Jackson’s efforts couldn’t be underestimated since he took on the top position in May 2013.

    Lol!!

    Think about it....

    Shouldn't that be: couldn't be overestimated!!

    Apparently Dangerfield was interviewed on 360 and his response to Robbo questioning him on his future has a few Crows fans tripping balls on twitter just now.

    Maybe something in those rumours?

    Same person I spoke to suggested that Melbourne are not interested in taking Mitch back and this was before it became a media circus...

    Wrong thread bro, there's 100 pages full of MC stuff

    No thanks. That's overs. Be serious please.

    Our first pick would be the starting position, and maybe one of the few players with currency i.e. Watts.

    well we certainly have the money to throw 6 years, 6 mil at him

    Saw a post somewhere on land passing on a rumour that the request to AFL for special assistance wasn't for a priority pick necessarily, but AFL funding to help Dee's pay full cap and subsequent player raid.

    Would make perfect sense in this scenario.

    Fairly certain part of AFL's equalisation strategy going forward was to assist poorer clubs pay 100% of the cap.

    and the rest of the cap. If Mitch's salary was minimised for this year, as his manager recently suggested, under the new equalisation rules that can be shifted into future spending, essentially giving us at a guess, $1.2 million more next year than we would've had otherwise... add to the fact we would've been under the cap I guess anyway, we've got some coin there to spend...

    Could be a very interesting trade period for us, particularly if we load up on early draft picks.

    Why would he want to come to us? He could command big money at other clubs with brighter prospects of finals success. I'd love to have him but it just doesn't add up.

    That all depends on whether you think that 'finals success' trumps the almighty dollar, and whether or not you believe in santa

    Captaincy - throw captaincy at him - It may be a slap in the face for Jonesy but boy would he add so much to us.

    disagree with that

    bad move culturally to purchase a player and give him the crown

    straight to the LG but the crown has been very hard earned by Jonesy and I would be livid if circumstances like that stripped it from him, absolutely not Roosy's style

    Just a thing I heard from a mate on the inside, so take it as you will: Nat Fyfe for Aidan Riley,

    Not sure I could go for that. They'd have to throw in a sweetener to get it across the line. Maybe swap our second rounder for their first?

    He is not as good as he was, definitely showing major signs of wear and tear and the body isnt a powerful

    Demons should not get sucked in without due diligence

    • 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.

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 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?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
