Jacko Trac Clarry????

Theres now a list of premiership players who are going to look very attractive to opposition teams, who will have salary space or other attractions.

WA is a very atractive location and possibly cheaper with opportunities to get better return and n and nvestments.

BUT if you want to be part of the most significant ccesful TEAM and be remembered far beyond your playing career you may have to make some sacrifices.

Just look at Dangerfield  who has a profile as an important ndividual but has failed to get that elusive flag he wanted. Yes he has a great life in Geelong back home and is more than comfortable but he has not achieved the ultimate prize that all players want.

while the Premiership is the ultimate prize I am sure Swallow , Bowey and others will not be recognised as great until they are multiple winners over a long career. 

Jacko has only just begun and I am sure he is something special but so was Jesse Hogan.

Good luck to the negotiators

Swallow ?

    It must be a fun life, waiting for someone to make a spelling mistake on a forum, so you can call them out.

    Well done to you

    Don’t take it personally, 1964_2. 
    Actually, forget what I just said… DO take it personally. For it’s flattering to be pulled up by Demonstone as he only pulls up the best. 😁
    Yes, he’s pulled me up a couple of times, and I’m a proofreader! But I’m proud to say that I once caught him out on an error. Alas, it was in a PM so everyone will just have to take my word for it. 😉

    Just an attempt at levity, 1964.  Don't take it too seriously.

    The problem is Demonstone that some posters do take it more than seriously. For some it can be confidence sapping.

    I am a ( partially reformed) pedant. There are two reasons for this. First, I realised that fat fingers or too many vinos led to careless mistakes by my good self so ......... you know ..... glass houses etc.

    Second, I realised that some posters ( just as in the general population are poor spellers)  and really are unable to do anything about it. So why (possibly) lessen their fun in posting?

    Nowadays I am pedantic only toward posters who I really like or really dislike.

    I like LJ I really do. The kid has not put 50 games together and we are already getting our knickers in a knot. 

    He is learning his craft with an all time 5X AA ruckman. He ain’t going anywhere in the next few years. After that and a few more premierships I’ll happily exchange him for 2 top 10 draft picks that Meth coke will offer us ala Tim Kelly style. And we can rebuild once more. We will have Mac Andrew’s and Jeff whites Xbox by then anyway 😂😂to cover our ruck stocks.

    Ok who are you, and what have you done with the real BBO?!! The BBO we all know and tolerate. This is too sensible, and even borderline sweet, to be him.

    I actually thought you meant Sparrow. Both seven-letter words. Both begin with S. And both a type of bird!

    Me to.!!We all know how good Luke Jackson is and how much better we expect him to become, he has shown that he is a team oriented player that isn’t afraid of hard work. He is an MFC Premiership player who appeared to really enjoy our success, to my mind he is a stayer.❤️💙

    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

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

    ...and set up for life after footy too if they play their cards right and make sensible financial decisions.  The world is at their feet.

    A trade deal can be worked out. They can play if they pay a tariff of one goal per quarter.

    The the AFL can then truly claim to be an international competition.

    That shouldn't stop Dogga getting a just reward for his ability at his craft irrespective of age. I am sure the extensions over the last year or two were appropriate and fair. The 100% resigning would seem to indicate this.

    Of course our Premiership  makes our players even more valuable but there are ways teams of players can be rewarded bonuses along the way. 

    If Dynasties like Hawks Cats Tigers can handle this I have no doubt the Dees are well equipped to reward our players the right way  and to maintain longevity of success in the process.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
