    As hard as I try, I have given up trying to understand what this sentence means. 

    Should that be "and"?

     

    Yes correct.

    Melbourne get Freo's first rounder and future first rounder.

    Fremantle get Luke Jackson, the compensation pick we get for losing Angus Brayshaw and a seconder rounder.

    This is fair and reasonable recompense according to Freo supporters on Bigfooty.

    (The LJ for Bailey Banfield and Ethan Hughes took the cake though)

    Basically we give them LJ, Brayshaw (because lets face it, he wont go anywhere else) and the compensation pick we get for Brayshaw and our second rounder for two first round draft picks. 

    That would be a terrific deal!   For Fremantle.

    We should start trade discussions by trading our third rounder to GWS for Hogan

    Send a message to Freo right away!

    WCE has a better pot of gold for us I feel, if LJ was to leave. LJ is young enough that the Eagles could afford to spend 3 - 5 years building around him. History tells us they've been a lot more efficient than that rebuilding teams in the past. 

    If the eagles are realistic about rebuilding with honesty, they'd be looking to improve the draft positioning by offloading some players that may have value to other teams, thinking McGovern, Yeo, Darling, Sheed, Barrass, Gaff (for example). 

    Packaging some of those guys could net them a bounty of picks, to add to the likely No. 1 they get this year and another top 5 pick next year. 

    A number of those players are well established in Perth with young families.  At their ages it is most unlikely they will agree to leave to go East or North East.

    And not sure that there are many clubs who have a need for those players.  Most clubs except North are ticking along nicely with their list rebuilds.

    Seems to me that we have 3 major contract issues.

    1. Oliver

    2. Jackson

    3.Brayshaw

    To get them all done satisfactorily would be a terrific win.

    To get two of them done with a couple of first rounders or satisfactory player swap  coming our way would be a pass.

    To get only one done would seem to be a fail IMO

    If it can be established that Freos $10 mill over 7 offer is real ( which l very much doubt) then why would we want to be in a silly deal like that?  Performance based $7 mill over 7 much more realistic maybe.

    I wouldn't worry about that one.
    He has another year to go on his contract and his best friend at the club (CP5) is signed until 2029.
    I see him as a one club player.

     Would we then have A Brayshaw A, and A Brayshaw B?

    118 games for us. 259 goals and 1299 touches.

    131 games for them, 224  goals and 1577 touches. 

    Not by a big margin but he played his best footy for us.

    "At 20, industry experts suggest a fair deal at Melbourne would be around $800,000 per season and be in line with deals for young stars Sam Walsh, Ben King and Max King."

    $800,000 is overs i reckon

    And I'd take either of the King boys instead of him

    Hassa wasn't from the West.  He was recruited from Rutherglen and was a Merbein boy.

    He was my first footy idol and I had his number 29 on my first ever Demons jumper!

    Yeah I'd be annoyed if we end up paying Jackson that much.

    Next few games we will see if he’s worth 800k or not.

    For 800K for his position I’d expect about a dozen games where he has finished in the top 5 players on the ground.

    Not sure he has done that tbh. He’s maybe had 2-3 games at most.

    Id say for LJ, the offer should be in the range 500-600K for 2 years. The contract after that would be the payday if he is indeed worth it.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
