Jackson will sign 

I so hope you're right. Surely we couldn't have this happen again could we.

    A mate with no contacts so just his idea that Jackson hasn't signed to extend his contract while Kossie & Rivers have so he thinks he's probably out the door end of next season in which case we'll get a first rounder or two for him. Plus rumours about Oliver wanting out won't go away so maybe 2 first rounders for him as well next year. 

    Wait what, well that's just put a downer on the night

    Not many kids leave after 2 years, out of interest who manages him?

    It's not a lock. 'Flighty' was the word I heard that described where he's at. Not saying he's gone of course, but it's not totally safe.

    Let's just hope they are holding off to see what the TPP ends up being post Covid and where the club ends up with it's salary cap after trade week. See if they create some space before they finalise a deal with him. I always thought Hogan was going to go. I'm more confident about Jackson. Based on......? The vibe.

    Horrifying if he doesn't re sign

    It looks like we aren't landing a back up ruckman with 30 minutes to go in the trade period. We'll most likely pick up a delisted free agent. Could Sam (sauce) Jacobs be a chance with us next year? He was interviewed last week and mentioned he still has a year or two left in the tank.  

    I think Andrew Phillips is as good as locked in for that role.

    We've just got to have such a good year next year that we are irresistible. Keep him and attract others. If I had to pick I'd rather keep him than Oliver. I reckon he's a cause of cultural issues. Over inflated ego. Would we take Kelly for Oliver? I think so. Not saying that's even in contemplation.

    Are Jackson and Rivers close mates? 
    Or do they have nothing much to do with each other aside from both being from WA?

    Very close mates. I think Rivers last year when drafted called him his best mate. Went through junior juniors as little kids all the way to Demons.

    Look forward to that. I fear that if he doesn't sign reasonably early next year this will become a deafening roar.

    Dunkley stays at the Dogs.

    Jezza got to the Cats.

    Sounds like Treloar might stay at the Pies (trade info can still come in tho).

    Amazed that the Treloar deal didn't get done.

    • 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.
