    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?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
