    I realise that, but he's got an extensive history of breaking down.

    Jesse could go on for the rest of his career injury free, and good luck to him (personally) if he does.  But I have my doubts.

    Wouldn't say it's extensive history... but he plays a style of game that is high intensity and high impact, but he will play a different game at the dockers than with us I think. Freo will not want him to roam as far from goal, so maybe that changes!

    6 or 11 is relevant given the possibility of the earlier pick being traded into more picks or players than 11 could. Whether that happens is another thing. 

    I think discussion is between 11 or 23. 6 is a given.

    So how many of the media experts actually got the specifics of that trade correct?

    To be fair, they did get the bones right.... They never get the all the facts, they only get tid bits

    So his goal returns will fall - as he has to go upfield to get the ball.

    If he wants to get a kick at Fremantle he'll have to play at full back.

    Yep, they get bits and pieces only, similar to the Hogan trade. We still are no closer to knowing the full deal.

    If it's Hogan for 6 and 19 then that's two 1st round picks.  That's what we asked for.  Hard to mount an argument that we have taken significant unders.

    It's these bits and pieces that will determine if the Hogan deal is fair or not however!

    Depends how their picks work out.  What if they want in two years time, or turn into average players?  What is May and KK are part of a premiership side in the next few seasons?

    I'll hold off before saying Freo got 'more' for Neale than we did for Hogan.  Too subjective.

    They no longer have 19. It has to be 6 and 23 now.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
