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?

    • 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.

    • 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 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?
