    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).

    • 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.
