You of all people should not be bagging out others in this thread. Have you forgotten about the absolute twaddle you trotted out earlier in this very thread? You couldn't even adequately explain what you meant. Then complained that you were being picked on.

If Jackson does leave and Cerra is on our list at the end of the 2022 trade period I will bow down to you as King of the world and pledge my life to you.

Cool one mate. I like the bit where you completely make up scenarios I didn't say would happen.

Have a nice night.

    Why leave somewhere when you are obviously enjoying yourself as a main contributer?

    The MFC deal will be dam good 

    He won’t have the press on his back every week. That is a massive consideration 

    The lure home might be strong though.  Look at Hogan.

    Can someone on the social scene match him up with a top shelf GF in Melb if he hasn't got one already 😂

    On the last point...

    Does his manager point stuff like this out to him though?

    Doubt he'd be thinking about all of these aspects.

    After many posts of you trying to explain I still don't think anyone has a clue what you meant.

    Leave the faceplams alone mate. Try to be a peaceful poster and stop making enemies.

    Footy Classified, specifically Hutchy, are convinced he is as good as gone. Didn’t add any credibility to the opinion. Hutchy urging West Coast to be bold and make him walk to the PSD for nothing. Lloydo reckons he won’t leave. The longer this goes on the more of a distraction it’ll be become at finals time.

    Hutchy urging West Coast to be bold…for another cheap headline. That bloke really has no moral compass.

    Hutchison just wants advertising headlines and Phone Calls on SEN

    His knowledge of the game is marginal

    That PSD thing is totally bizarre. We paid PICK 2 for the guy 3 years ago! We’ve developed him with the best modern ruckman in the game, had him play in a premiership, given him a great environment with the Brayshaw’s and his teammates, the club deserves compensation if he leaves. I doubt Luke would want what Hutchy describes that for Melbourne, he’s given us a lot and we have given him a lot. I’d be shocked if he wanted to leave, but if he does there’s no way he’s screwing the club that has been so good to him out of a pick or player in trade. Hutchy talks total rubbish.

    I hope Luke stays, I think staying at least another two years makes the most sense.

    Your first mistake was getting sucked in by Hutchy.

    He's nothing but a giant troll who deliberately goes out of his way to bait a headline.

    Ask what Paul Salmon what he thinks of hutchy...

    Does heading off to play for West Coast for big bucks constitute being bold?

    I would have thought it was the other way round. Taking a long term approach with your career and staying at your first club for a lesser remuneration for the sake of team success down the track and greater rewards financially and personally later on is being bold in my view.

    Anyone know the Canberra Times' strike rate?

    This is in the Canberra Times, article published this afternoon:

    "In more good news for the AFL premier, grand final hero Luke Jackson will sign a new deal with Melbourne soon. Jackson, who is contracted until the end of next season, will commit long-term to the Demons.

    The West Australian believes his future is in Melbourne and he will be joined by his parents in Victoria."

    All true from what I've heard.

    His folks have been shopping for property in Melbourne, and "long term" is the phrase being used about his extension.

     

    Any updates on this juicy goss LN?

    The one thing with Hutchy is that he has pretty good contacts around the footy world. It is well known in the industry that he gets half his stories from Liam Pickering. Being a player manager I wonder if Pickering any inside info?

    Just as an aside, Pickering manages Karl Amon.

    Dogga strikes me as someone who is too far principled to play those sorts of games, and in any event, why would he want to 'walk' to North, which is where he'd end up based on today's ladder positions.

    Lloyd was the only sensible voice on that show re: this issue and sees it from a champion players perspective.

    Its a distraction to Dees fans, as was Hogan, but after the Hogan saga, I'm immmune now to this and what will be will be.

    Hogan was a 'great hope' for the club. 

    Now we have a team full of them, not to mention the top shelf coaching panel.

    In terms of the once in a generation sweet spot we have (under 30ish)...

    Oliver, Trac, Viney, lever, salem, Fritsch, Sparrow, Brayshaw, Petty, Pickett, Spargo, ANB, Langdon  etc.

    Plus the young latent talent pool yet to break into the side.

    Plus Goodwin, Yze....

    Good luck to Jacko no matter what he does.

    I hate to lose him and watch him develop into an superstar over west. 
    But given that how late it is in the season and he still hasn’t signed on I’m starting to come to terms with the fact that him leaving is a strong possibility. 
    What are peoples thought on how we should try to recruit with the bounty we would have to get if he leaves?

    Do we go to the draft with highest pick we can get?This years draft is meant to be full of talls but they can take a few years to develop and we just picked JVR.


    Or do we try and pick up a established player that could help us win another flag in this premiership window?

    Carlton have Curnow, McKay & De Konig all out of contract next year, if we lose Jacko, I’d be trying very to shake one of those loose with that money.  At that point we could offer the dollars and success.

    Carlton could be stretched with the dollars. McKay & Curnow will be RFAs.

    McKay and Curnow will be Restricted Free Agents next year so there would be no need to trade.

    However, they both seem very committed and passionate coming into a finals then premiership window, playing with mates so not sure why they would leave to join a similarly positioned club.  Money unlikely to be a motivator.

    As we  like to think of our players in that way and to forfeit some $, I would be surprised if McKay and Curnow don't feel the same.

    Would love a crack at one of those but there would need to be some serious low balling from Carlton to get a look in there. Plenty of time till then though and things can change.

    You’re right Dazzle, listening to anything Hutchy says is a bad idea. I certainly don’t believe it, I was just commenting on how bizarre his choice of scuttlebutt is in this instance. It’s very easy to make believable “Jackson is leaving stories” with this dragging out so long, but going straight to “walk to PSD” is really incredibly stupid, even by Hutchy’s low standards.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
