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.

 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.

Hassa Mann?

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: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
