Didn’t have a disposal in the second half last night. Million dollar players don't go an entire half without touching the ball when the whips are cracking.

Havent looked at the stats but sounds like an awful second half

Can’t be a successful team without buy in and trust.

100% however he does have the right to exit.

As a coach though you also have the right to ask what's happening with performance.  And if you suspect he's already checked out... i know what i'd be doing...

    My very strong mail, and it won’t come as any surprise, is that Jackson will be playing in WA next year.  The Club even offered to move his family to Melbourne recently and it was rejected.

    I'm calling BS on this, you also said a couple of years ago that Oliver wanted to leave because he didn't win the B&F.

    Seriously you two..

    Do you guys understand that Jackson going into the PSD is the worst possible outcome that could happen to our football club.

    We get absolutely zero benefit out of this and get completely shafted.

    Whether you like it or not Jackson is out of contract. The moment we he nominates Freo, that's exactly who we have to deal with. Players has more power now days then the actual club especially when out of contract and nominate a set club.

    You can pretend to talk tough all you want but at the end of the day, the club (Melbourne) need to find the best possible deal it can to be satisfied. 

    Name me one big out of contact player that nominated a club of choice but then was forced to be traded to another because it didn't suit the clubs set requirements. 

    It doesn't happen now days.

    Not necessarily. I would goto Norf and say give us Pick #2 (priority pick) and we will knock back all offers from WCE and Freo and force LJ into the PSD. Its a dog act, yes, but it also gives us even more bargaining power to keep both WCE and Freo in check. 

    They will know that we are using them as a bargaining chip, but we can come to some sort of arrangement / understanding for future swaps or trades, but ultimately it allows us to attach some value to the Norf option - not sure if its totally legal though.

    Does anyone have access to the article? Is it anything new?

    no

    the only interesting thing about that article is that jon ralph admits that jackson could wake up tomorrow and decide he's staying

    in order words...he has as much idea as anyone else

    So yeah.. that's incredibly bizarre and this type of scenario has never ever happened in AFL trade history and it certainly won't happened with Jackson.

    Again, once they've nominated a club, they're getting there.

    To technically get picked up by North he has to physically sign a contract. He would never in a million years play for another Melbourne club via a PSD draft.

    Why does everyone think Melbourne will be this complete badass come trade time lol.

    We've never operated this way and have built incredibly strong relationships with other clubs during trade time due to our professional style in getting deals done without any issues.

    He's not screwing us at all Jaded.

    He's out of contract and has the right to request a trade to his club of choice.

    The moment he nominates Freo we'll facilitate the best deal for the club. You're forgetting we have Jason Taylor and Tim Lamb who have facilitated some of the best deals going sound in years.

     

    Of course he’s screwing us if he nominates Freo when he knows full well we will get better compensated if he went to West Coast. Height of arrogance for somebody who has only achieved what he’s achieved because of the club he found himself at and not vice versa

    Totally different scenario. Firstly Lever had a partner and kid on the way. Secondly Adelaide was a horrible mess of a club. 

    Jackson is 21. Not married. No kids. No problems playing for and winning flags.

    Lol talk about double standards.

    No club owns a player. If he's desperate to leave as it is looking could be the case, we shake hands and wish him the best and look at getting maximum compensation.

    That will never change.

    Bring in the rule, stop players and clubs meeting and talking in the media so blatantly, and the discussion calms down during the season. It won’t even be at zero but it surely helps.

    Its best for clubs and players and only impacts the media marginally. But the trade off is more players will move clubs unexpectedly when the off season starts.

    Adelaide just made the grand final. Let’s no assume we couldn’t be in a similar spot to them in a few years (minus the infamous camp).

    We also don’t know all of Jacko’s story. He might be incredibly tight with his family and have good reason to be with them.

    Players get to choose, that’s the system, if Freo are willing to pay the price then we aren’t getting screwed.

    He also said Luke Dunstan had met with dees well before it came out in the media last year and was a certainty to sign. 

    He's had more right then wrong and has great links through his friend through player management.

    Jesus Jaded this is seriously very unlike of you..

    We need to cool the jets yeah? This whole media circus about him nominating Freo has come from one bloke only and that's Jon Ralph.  

    For now lets chill out until official confirmation, meanwhile let's continue to support Jacko while he's playing in the red and blue yeah?

    Thanks DD. If my info turns out to be incorrect i will never live it down, because old Army Boy will never let me forget it. Oh woah is me. 
    You just call BS on everything, so by sheer coincidence that means sometimes you are correct. 
    As of early Last week the Club was Confident they could keep Jackson, but nothing had been signed.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
