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?

100 pages showing how people can throw darts at a non existent board.

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

Personally, I wouldn’t trust a word Kevin Bacon says.

Thanks. I use to find Kev reliable, but that was a while ago

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
