    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
