None I would suggest.

Really ? so if he said tomorrow he wants out it doesn't change the dynamic - I think it has to - how much who knows

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

Thanks Danny.

I think 2 years for Jackson and Brayshaw make sense. Hopefully we have more flags in that time and Dogga's value will have increased and Gus's won't decrease.

We'll have a clearer picture of succession, if necessary, by then. And they'll have more flags.

Now that English is signed for 2 years, I can't see LJ signing for anymore than that (which is what i think he will do), in 2 years time those two will be the big story again around going back west, and by then NicNat will be finished but WC might be on the up again.

These days I think the players just accept it.

2 years is the best we can hope for I'd say. Happy to take it.

well if it's to be only 2 years we may as well keep this thread running for at least 2 more years

omg

He remains close with Trent, his parents are happy with his welfare at the club, he wants to repay the draft faith and the decision to give him an extended break in Perth pre-season, the offer is as flexible as he needs it to be, he wants to continue learning from Max and he generally isn't motivated by money or stardom.

I'm assuming this is all guess work. He may well be close friends with Trent, but his closest circle of friends are in Perth. Rivers returned to Melbourne after the GF to be with his girlfriend. Jackson hung out in Perth with his mates.

He really doesn't strike me as someone holding out for cash.

This is some performance. 

His role as a number 1 ruckman tonight has been nothing short of super tonight.

Gets rag dolled at times during ba ups but that's a non issue for me considering how young he is against a much bigger opponent.

Just goes to show how much we need to try and keep him. He is a superstar at 20. 


He seems happy. The crowd gave him so much love. Goody was beaming when he came off and Jackson was smiling from ear to ear. 
If he leaves I’m comfortable that we’ve done our best by him and I’ll always thank him for that third quarter… 

He was sensational. If he stays then fantastic, and if he leaves he’s going to leave on an astronomical contract offer that will mean we get a LOT in return.

Imagine if we took Lachie Ash or Dylan Stephens and Jackson went somewhere else? We would be furious.

Meggs was in a corporate box tonight with mostly WA supporters.  The Weagles supporters are a mostly disinterested lot in 2022 but the Freo ones are convinced they are getting Dogga and Gus (though they couldn’t recall his name)…

Luke, the force is strong with this one…what a game!  


He’s worth keeping simply for his celebrations, brilliant.

Keeping him long term just got a lot harder...   But short term may be real.  His comments post game about being surrounded by Trac, Oliver and Viney in the ruck made me think that he has to be aware of what a good thing he's been gifted.

Dominant display.

Yeah, nah, let’s get some picks for him.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
