LJ is contracted. He's going nowhere.

And if Dogga reckons going home to Freo is a good idea he should have a chat to Jesse Hogan.

Means a lot when Melbourne can choose not to trade him

The same Jesse Hogan who left the Dees for Freo while contracted?

Contracts aren’t iron clad for sure but both parties have to consent to release each other from their obligations. If one party holds firm nothing the other can legally do about it. If we decide not to trade then the player has to stay

Like when they put Tom McDonald up for trade last year when contracted? Or when they traded Jack Watts and Hogan when they also were contracted?

Not in anyway saying Jacko will leave because it's pretty obvious he wont. But to say that he won't leave because he's contracted is laughable.

It's the AFL landscape now days. Contracts are pretty much irrelevant now because we are seeing far too often now players have far too much power then the actual contract.

It's my biggest pet hate. I loved seeing the doggies last year refusing to trade a contracted Josh Dunkley.

Yes I am aware all that.

Perfect example is the Josh Dunkley case last year. See my post above. It's my biggest pet hate players having far too much pulling power over the actual contract obligation.

True but the trade suited both parties. We needed the pick for May, we had TMac and the Weid as out KPF options and there were concerns internally with Jesse's application and lifestyle.  And from Jesse's perspective he got to go home.

Yeah I stand corrected?


Interesting that the Herald Sun article says Cerra will go to Carlton and because of it, Jackson will consider going home over summer. Do these guys even proof read what they write?

I couldn’t open the HScum article but didn’t he fairly recently extend his contract? I wouldn’t even close to entertain trading out Dogga, the guy looks like he could be once in a gen sort of player. I know similar things were said about Hogan but it was a lot different with him, the talent was (still is) there but the mind and body just didn’t look like they were coping.

Jackson on the other hand looks like he’s got a good head on him, his body is holding up well, and FMD can he play or what!

Tell them to suck a fat one. 

I have a feeling that Cerra could break the fabric of the club if he comes to us. A few popular players will have to leave.

Get him a Melbourne girlfriend like Rivers has, quickly.

I have a feeling you don't know what you're talking about a lot of the time on here.

Robbo proof overproof reads the articles?

Good god I hope tomorrow finally puts an end to MFCSS once and for all

I was told of two young players who may be involved in trades (neither are locks in our best 22, no-one from the 2019 draft trio)

Take it with a grain of salt however, just passing on the message

Buy low, sell high...

I reckon a Dee's flag might break the fabric of reality first 

IF Freo are making a significant play for Jackson, it likely means they feel Cerra is going to nominate the Dees rather than Carlton

In fairness, Lyon has gone so a forward's life could be more palatable now than before.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
