Just remember...! Freo demanded Pick 2 from Gold Coast for Weller. Whom they selected Andy Brayshaw.

I say we ask for Picks 1 & 2... 😆 And Andy Brayshaw.

    One media pundit (I'm sure it was Barrett) actually said that we can't ask for much, because he won us a flag. And the fact he was previously pick 3 doesn't matter  ecause we've got our return.

    Given this is the calibre of people working in the footy media, I'm not holding out much hope of a reasonable discussion on his worth.

    Not a fan of Purple, but that's not what he said.

    He said the Dees 'got their reward' for being brave and picking him at #3 by his contribution to winning a flag.

    Said nothing about not asking for much, in fact he didn't even address his trade value - so either you've got your wires crossed with whom said certain things or you've added a fair bit of mayo there.

    Too true Deet. Throw that at the feather cap wearing buffoon and see what comeback he surmises

    Is that what I said?

    Pretty naive to think the club hasn't already spoken with prospective clubs and begun negotiations based on potential outcomes. Do you believe clubs wait until 9am on the first day of trade period to start talking?

    This has absolutely no relevance or meaning in the context of the discussion. What is even the point?

    How will Freo get a top 10 pick this year? Why would we think a pick that could potentially be 14-18 next year would top off the deal?

    Of course clubs talk before trade period. But it's idiotic to think that Andy Brayshaw would leave Fremantle when Gus has already said that he's entrenched in WA. It's also idiotic to think that we would waste our time asking for Andy Brayshaw.

    My 2nd point of us finalising deals quickly is totally relevant if we are pursuing a big fish ourselves with whatever draft capital we get from Freo. 

    I don't know what you think Luke Jackson is worth, but I can guarantee that we won't be getting anything near 2 top 10 picks from Freo.

    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.

    He is just another clown in the media.

    I went back to listen and while I may have paraphrased poorly, I don't think you can argue it wasn't in the context of what he is worth. They were clearly talking in the context of him likely leaving, and clubs asking what their reward for taking a player like Jackson at three. They weren't talking about taking a tall early. They are clearly talking about taking a player who then wants to leave after three years. And that is a legitimate question in regards to what he is worth, in that we took him at pick 3 and what do we have to show for it if he leaves? So I took his response "They got their reward" in that context.

    No, the context was we got reward for drafting him where we did.

    Barrett: 'How you'd crunch that deal to get it done, you're in the space more than I am... I'll leave that (his trade worth) to the Dockers and the Demons'

    The suggestion is that Freo will have to lose players, deal with other clubs to get early picks and then on sell to us..

    I imagine it will be Tim Kelly like, have to be a top 10 pick (Freo will need to acquire from other clubs by trading out players) Freos original first rounder (pick 15-18 range and possibly next years First rounder as well. 

    Jackson is 21, has 12 years ahead of him, this aint getting done for much less.

    And won't even hit his peak for 5 years.

    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

    A lot can change in 2 years. I would think the club would be confident to extend even further at that point.

    We need a top 5 pick for LJ and and given his potential another late first round or early 2nd. The points worth is not an appropriate conparison as we would most likely use the first pick to chase the best KPF available and they go early. The 2nd pick would probably look at a ruck or KPD.

    As much as I’d hate to lose Brayshaw, and I don’t think he’d leave, he is in fact excess to our needs. We can cover for him at HB and on the defensive wing and in the midfield. He would also demand a 1st round pick (mid to late).

    Having 2-3 1st round picks would be phenomenally good for us and allow us to restock our lists with quality players and be relevant and playing finals for the next decade.

    I thought we were going for a certain three peat and the following 5 years in the window were a " given".

    I know we're loading and not showing our hand before the finals but has something changed that I am not aware of.

    Club will ask for Andy Brayshaw, which to me is the obvious explanation why Gus hasn't made a call yet IMO.

    That doesn't mean we'll get him mind you, but that's what MFC will ask for as a starting point in negotiations.

    If Freo give us Brayshaw as part of any Jackson trade, we'll have to give up more. Way more. Freo isn't giving up one of the top 5 players in the game for a 20 year old who will barely crack top 15 in the B&F. Just a reality.

    Freo are in a premiership window. Why would they give up their best mid and most important player for a developing ruck? That would be a really stupid move that would make them a worse side. 
    It just won’t happen unless Brayshaw demands a trade, which considering he’s in contract seems unlikely.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
