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...

not sure whether to reply to this with a laughter or crying emoji

"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

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
