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.  

Edited by It's Time

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.


I jumped on to see what the latest rumours were. Do you kids ever give it a rest.

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. 


Can we please stick to happy rumours and not sad rumours please aha

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.

I reckon we will have to split a couple of these kids up soon!

seriously though, it is tiresome

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!

Same.

I thought there maybe some good info. Turns out no, there isn't.

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

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
