    Interesting report in on MMM Perth this morning with Lachy Reid (demon man) who says Freo are clearing the decks for the arrival of Jackson, Acres and Logue and Lobb all getting substantially less in terms of contracts than ithey should. Says Demons not interested in Players and it could take 3 first round picks for Jackson.

    Sadly he also said Angus Brayshaw is Freo bound as well.

    We should brace ourselves.

    If we got pick 2 for Jackson you would take it and run. 

    Particularly for a bloke that's probably going to finish about 19th in the best and fairest later in the year.

    Of course you would with a another pick as well. But how do you suggest we get pick 2? He is not going to West Coast.

    And yet, there is so much love between the players, irrespective of whether they are staying, leaving or undecided. Welcome to the free market supporters - the players are 😎 with it!

    Nobody here knows where he's going. 

    I simply said you'd take pick 2 for him. West Coast are in the frame and it's highly improbable that Jackson would decline to go there if Freo didn't come to the party with the right pick/picks.

    Can’t remember how it works if a RFA is traded: do we get compo pick from the AFL? Because there’s no way Freo could trade for both.

    Fair enough, wasnt meaning to be combative, just asking teh where the pick 2 scenario fits. He is more chance of staying with us than going to Eagles.

    No way Brayshaw leaves. Lookin at everything he's said about his contract situation, he is staying

    Freo have zero draft or trade capital. I can’t see how they get a deal done for either, let alone both.

    All good. 

    Why do you think that? 

    If he's keen on getting back to Perth you'd think he'd still go to West Coast even if Freo are his pref. 

    Home is the pull. Not Freo. Going to Freo would be the cherry for him.

    He has always had links to Freo and the fact that West Coast cant trade their first round pick ( at the moment anyway - AFL will probs let them)  i think all chats have been with Freo, plus teh Eagles are just about to go full rebuild.. they are a fairly long way away from any success.

    He is RFA so we better be happy with ND16 or we just agree to pay him what he may agree with Freo. Then we can trade him he he really wants to go.

    I understand a RFA can go to the club of his choice, but his current club can match the offer. If not, the current club gets a compensation pick based on the terms of the new contract. Stand to be corrected if this has changed recently

    Let me say this.

    We are in a business.

    If the deal for a utility player is greatly in our favour, we should take it.

    With each passing day my emotional attachment grows less and less. I'd like him to stay but if his heart isn't in it then we have to move on.

    An extension of 2 years has been mentioned. Does it even make sense to develop him for another 2 years when there’s every chance he bails on us anyways and we’re back to square one, looking for a replacement for Maxy?

    Would like to hear what Freo are prepared to offer. Perhaps this years first (i assume they haven't traded already) and their future first gets the job done. You’d fancy JT to unearth one top quality player with those 2 picks

    Not to mention the disruption to the season caused by those two naughty boys.

    Doesn't that give us 2 extra years to look for a Max replacement?

    They do if we play hardball and match their offer as Adelaide threatened with Danger and more recently as GWS did with Cameron. 

    Freo can't offer the equivalent of developmental/depth players who might come good and some rubbishy draft point picks for Jackson and also expect to get Brayshaw for nothing via FA.

    Edit:  should have read the whole thread as others have made similar comments...

    Allowing for priority picks that would be two picks around 18.

    No thanks

    Two by top five picks or a top five player plus a late first rounder. Jackson was a third pick who would clearly go number 1 in a redraft

    Couldn't agree more. If what the talk out of Freo is true that is coming through over the equivalent of 3 first round picks for Jackson, then they are going to need to send through 16 (with AFL approval to trade this), F1st and the compensation for Lobb and Logue (both mid 2nd round picks?) to cover Jackson. that would be the equivalent after comp picks to be roughly pick 1 plus early 3rd rounder in draft points value. We would have the cap space to sign Brayshaw directly/match and I don't believe pick 19 is enough for Angus, so I would have them trade exciting young talent(s) as compensation or he stays. If Freo want one or either they are going to be a worse team depth wise in the short term (our premiership window).

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
