Hey guys a bit of sanity here please. Luke is a demon listed player and not a free agent. He cannot leave without our blessing. Freo need to trade for him and they will not have any sort of hand in the draft to satisfy our needs. The only danger would be that West Coast finish last and somehow talk him in to going into the draft. Aint going to happen, the kid has more loyalty than that. Wouldnt shaft the club that made him a premiership player so early in his career. We hold all the cards.

You do realize that sanity on demonland doesn't exist for some.

He can absolutely leave without out blessing lol..

He's out of contract mate. 

If he comes out and says he wants to go home then we cannot stop him at all. It's up to us and WC/Freo to strike up a deal that benefits both parties moving forward.

LJ to stay. We’ve given him more than money can buy.  A premiership.  Something he’ll always remember.  Sure he can probably get a million a year elsewhere but he’s bonded with so many at MFC. If we can get to $750k a year over 5 years ($3.75m) that’s plenty of coin. If he leaves for more , that’s $$$cully-like

If he leaves it’s because he wants to go home. The money will not be much more. Let’s just ease up on the kid.

Fair enough. Go home factor always in play when you draft kids from interstate.  But I think players are staying more and more and it’s a relatively low rate of players changing for the “go home” factor these days. 


So just a question, maybe answered elsewhere, but when were we planning on turning this guy into a forward? After he signs? The cameos are not enough and I seem to remember from the Hell and Back/recruitment video stuff we were considering him as a forward? Is there some cunning 0lan to keep his value down?

Elite for a ruck below average for a mid and that’s the issue how valuable is an elite ground ball ruck when a mid does a better job every day of the week

Was handy in the 3rd in the Granny…

This makes no sense. Doesn’t need to be elite for a mid. Just needs to have a ground ball advantage vs oppo ruckman, which effectively creates an out-numbering of mids (particularly for centre bounces).

No chance he is “below average” as a mid either.

Probably our most promising young player of the past 20-30 years (apart from Clarry):- and all most people here want to do is doubt him. Very weird.

You missed my point entirely. Of course he can leave but unless melbourne can negotiate adequate compensation the only way he can go is to accept a new mfc contract or into the draft which would mean that he most probably goes to west coast with freo having no chance. Westcoast will have a far better hand to trade than Freo. Either have faith in the kid having some sort of decency or our list management to sort it all out.

Well he is happy to stay and commit now!


Interesting timing re English

I'm wondering at what stage does LJ's non-commitment to a MFC future start to impact on the attitude of his teammates?

Gus hasn’t signed either.

I'm hearing positive things about Dogga staying for a couple of years

It’s positive to read that, thanks for sharing.

None I would suggest.

    It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
