    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.

    They really a card short of a full deck over in the west if that is what they are saying.

    I read the last two words first and nearly had heart failure. 

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

    Pretty close to the post of the month.

    Can anyone name one player who has gone back to the West willingly and played as well as he did in Melbourne?

    Wiz did alright.

    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 Mann?

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
