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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
