Are you hearing whispers? 
 

I Hope Please GIF

I'm hearing he's keen to stay. Settled in really well with the group.

Both WA clubs have sounded him out, but it's believed he will stay.

Smart move to not extend at this stage

    “Flighty”. That’s a huge  call Nev!! In fact that’s a put down of a kid who has looked anything but !!!!

    That requires a sauce to show your credibility 

    I've said many times where I get most of my info.

    You and your mates can't keep trying to question my credibility if you wish, not my problem.

    There could be many reasons why he hasn't agreed to an extension yet. Only one being he is contemplating going home. I hope and pray that's not one of them.

    You need to think things through a little more Nev. You are dismissive in saying it is "not your problem" , yet it was your choice to lay an unnecessary and unsupported slur on a young man.

    If you're so sure about your info, why are you so defensive? You don't have to prove anything to anyone on the forums, or even post it really.

    Uncle BBO I took that to mean he is flighty about whether he is going to stay or go. I don't think that's a slur if that is what was meant. I choose to hear what I want to hear and in this case I'm listening to Pennant St Dee and look forward to hearing about him signing an extension sooner than later. I know some might find that somewhat ironic given I mentioned someone else's observation that he hasn't signed an extension yet. BB won't let him go now anyway.

    my mfcss says that until such a time that any player signs on the dotted line they're inevitably leaving and only after they sign an extension with us will they break down with a long-term crippling injury

    we'll all be rooned, said hanrahan...

    "Slur"...? Righto.

    One day if you want to talk footy instead of always trying to have cracks at me; let me know.

    Gross incompetence. Why hasn’t Ned Guy been sacked already?

    I dont think those deals are just Neds doing. I think Eddie, Bucks etc are all in on the decisions.

    If he gets the flick imo he will be made the scape goat.

    Eddie and bucks should be shown the door to if Ned gets the flick.

    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.

    I hope your info is wrong.

    We ought to be livid at the club if Jackson wants to go home. Develop him for 2 years so West Coast can reap the benefits.

    There were plenty of great VIC prospects available to us such as Serong, Young, Day etc... who were not flight risks.

    I think the value gain we realised this trade period from recruiting then trading Preuss, the great deal we got for Hogan, and general trade craft recently, indicates if Luke decides to head West, then we’ll have a well developed strategy to ensure we improve our team in the process.

    Why, that is a risk you take when drafting top end talent from other states.  You need to hope your program can keep them.  There would be no question the WCE would be chasing him as a replacement for Nic Nat.

    The info wasn't that he was going, personally I think he's more likely to stay, it was more that it's not a lock just yet. The thing in our favour is that Yze is a fantastic communicator and relates really well to players from what I've heard, he's already working with a couple of them specifically, so I think his influence could make a big difference to our group.

    And if we can perform consistently as a team for once in many many seasons that will help to. I cant remember a more important or critical season for our club.

    No we need to start heading to the top with all these kids, this one is, if not the most important years in the clubs history.

    No more #$&@ just get out there and win, win, win, we may stumble at times all clubs do, but 2021 is the time, we come back from all the hell over the last 56 years!

    End of story from Ricky Nixon as he sums up the past coupla weeks -

    Well done Western Bulldogs not only the big winners yesterday but also traded in an honest respectful manner unlike others .:..big flag chance 

    Whilst everyone will bag Collingwood let’s let the ladder decide who’s right & wrong next season 

    Geelong ridiculous deal which could haunt them for a long time 

    Essendon tick
    Melbourne tick tick 
    Carlton tick 
    Nth Melb tick 
    Bris tick tick 
    Port tick 
    Adelaide tick 
    StK tick & 1/2 

    WCE Freo GCS GWS Syd backed their lists hence time will tell

    Jackson has been at the club less than a year, with most of the season spent on the road in the hub. Let’s give him a chance to settle into some normality of life in Melbourne (fingers crossed), playing at the MCG week in week out, hopefully for a team playing finals. I’m almost certain he will extend if those things are true.

    Jackson isn't going anywhere in the short term. like Jesse he'll get chased every single off season by both W.A clubs but so will Rivers and Kozzie. any half decent interstate player is going to deal with that most of their career. 

    Everything i've heard about LJ is he's incredibly happy at the club, excited for the future and the club thinks we've got ourselves an incredible talent. 

    I personally think LJ's first 4-5 years are going to be mostly flashes of brilliance with a gradual build in strength, fitness and consistency before absolutely exploding onto the scene and ripping a season apart. gotta keep expectations in check for the young man but he does look the goods

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
