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

    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...

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
