Other than not signing his extension yet there has been zero indications that he won't stay. He was looking quite happy training with the other WA recruits in the off season. His parents are even talking about re-locating here.

I think the days of fretting over players re contracting are over for a while

Wonder if hes put talks on hold again? Worrying silence on this, don't want it to be a distraction all year.

Nothing ever gets announced at Tennis time...

If he has signed on the big announcement will happen when the footy kicks into gear from next week on.

if he wants to leave, he wants to leave

not like we'll be getting a spare packet of chips for him

by the end of the 2022 season he could be a two-time premiership player

Cheese and onion or chicken?

Would take Clarry anytime over Viney anytime, more upside, more of a playmaker, just a better footballer all round.

I'm starting to get a bit worried about all this.   My sister's freinds brother Phil is in Cockburn (the suburb or Perth) works as an admin assistant to an estate agent was saying the other day that a they had a buyers agaent who was saying he worked for an AFL player of one of the successful East coast teams inquiring about property in the area.

He probably wants a holiday house near a beach to entertain his Demon team mates. Nothing wrong with that!

So Jackson is the only player that belongs to a successful east coast side. My wifes second cousins mistress told me that can't be true.

Long term deal has been put in front of him, talks on hold.

Because I have no doubt West Coast are working on a god father offer for LJ. They need a star after Nic Nat retires in 2-3 years whilst Freo don't really need him as much due to their young star ruck in Sean Darcy.

We'll be doing extremely well if we can get LJ on a long term deal. Extremely well.

Unless he's seen at the airport in a WCE T-shirt, going over to Perth to "inspect the facilities", nothing to worry about.

Unless his old man gets a job as a recruiter for WCE, nothing to worry about.

Hang on, this is unbelievable!

move over Cockfosters we have a new clubhouse leader!

Running back to Perth didn't work out too well for Jessie - I think Luke knows he is in a very special place right now

The core of this premiership team can enjoy sustained success and get handsomely paid too along the way If they stick together

Plenty of examples of characters that chased the $$$'s only to be disappointed - its not all about money IMO

Mods, can we change 'underway' to 'NOT finalised' until they are? I keep coming in with an expectation of movement (and in the right direction!) 😏

If Jack Darling retires which is looking that way, this will open up huge cap space for the Eagles.

It might be that he sees himself living in Perth for the better part of his career as his priority rather than just money or playing in successful sides, and that his parents have moved over to help him through some issues.

I'm predicting he'll sign a 2 year extension. Same as Clarry. They, or their managers, like to keep their options open.

Having said that, hopefully the flag (or hopefully) 2 ... or more would make a difference. Like Jee-long and Richmond players who signed on for 'unders'.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
