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.

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

Means a lot when Melbourne can choose not to trade him

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.

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...

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
