It would be a shame for the thread to reach 100 pages with a nothing post.

    I’m starting to buy into the conspiracy theory that Demonland asked Jackson to stay unsigned for as long as possible in order to drive up advertising revenue on this site.

    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.

    When you last quit a job how did your last month go once you’d handed in your resignation? I bet you did the equivalent of not getting a single touch too.

    Thanks Dazz.  I can’t remember the Oliver post that he refers to. You seem to be far more competent with the Forum than me, so would you be able to find my Post on Oliver all those years ago so we can check the wording because I have always tried to be careful about never overstating my impeccable intel. Cheers. 

    To be honest I don't even recall the Oliver comment coming from you?

    This is why I phone it in for every job I ever do. No fluctuations in form means everyone’s always guessing.

    But we would have to trade out something/someone of equivalent first round value to get that whereas our 'natural first round pick, which we don't have is 'free'.

    Yes aware of that

    The EBA argument is nonsense given the number of players who have re-signed. 

    And of course all will be revealed eventually.

    I think there are two elements of the EBA  that we would actually need to wait for final figures - the final cap figure determines how much we can front load, and also the player marketing allowances.

    Both elements could be involved in the Jackson/Brayshaw contracts.

    Good question, I forgot to ask. 

    My neighbour’s uncle’s friend’s Dad sat next to him at a cafe this morning. He overheard LJ saying he is staying at $650k for 2 years

    100 pages and my feeling have not changed.i would love to keep him but if he wants to leave I will except to be compensated.

    Shame that we are lacking in the key position player area long term but no point selling the farm for him

    I can't see how a deal can be done comfortably (if Luke seeks a move) so a stalemate is on the cards

    The club will rightfully play handball and if we view draft picks in a realistic way instead of the way picks are often overvalued (busts are often viewed as club choice mistakes, not system errors) then we could demand a top 5 pick, another pick in the top 10 and a 3rd pick between 11 & 20 (or thereabouts) Or 2 picks and a decent player

    That seems about right to me considering that the odds are that at least 1 of those 3 picks could easily be a bust.  Maybe even 2 of the picks.  There are no guarantees with teenage talent, never has been, never will be, despite what many might believe

    Why should we take risks on the unknown as opposed to what we might view as known with LJ?

    Jackson is our player and a player who we have put 3 years of hard work into.  He's already advanced as a player of his age and could be an A grade elite player down the track

    And if a salary offer elsewhere is overs, then that equates to decent compensation for the Demons

    But how on earth is any club going to come up with those picks anyway? That's even if any club would want to pay that much

    As previously stated, if a move is on the cards, a stalemate is a very real type of outcome that could eventuate

    Just realised freo taking Jackson is payback for dees taking Jeff White, how did they do out of that trade?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
