Back in a trade or good news coming?

Both I guess. It does seem funny that it would put Darcy in a tradable situation.

    I really hope Jackson and Bradshaw re-sign - this whole thing leaves a bit of a bad taste after the fairy-tale that was last year.

    That said, I have every confidence that JT will turn whatever compensation we get into (at least) two very good replacements for them.

     

    The club needs to make a statement about the two players currently sucking the mojo out of the group. What the ... is going on pls?

    Online reports say Brayshaw’s management is in Melbourne this week to work with Melbourne on a new deal beyond 2022. The sooner that is done the better. As for Jackson, I think 4 weeks out from the end of the season, the Club has the right to ask him to declare what he is doing next year. They don’t need to announce it. However, it may actually be a weight off his shoulders and allow him to play some decent footy before finals.

    Hopefully no lockdowns and TP hoarding, he's gonna need it.

    If they don't need to announce this, maybe it's already happened?

    There's media whispers that Freo's clearing the decks to make room for Jacko is upsetting some of the natives.  Longmuir thinks Lobb will be at Freo next year (though I wouldn't expect him to admit that he's a trade target, but he did seem genuine when he said it), so I do wonder if Darcy might be in the mix being a Vic boy. 

    I'd trade Jacko for Darcy if it came to that.

    100% Grazman. If he's a good fit and helps prolong our successful period then I couldn't give a stuff about losing a generational talent.

    For the here and now he's a better ruck, a better contested mark and a better forward target.  It would release Max to play more time forward (where I think he's actually our best tall forward).

    Doubt we get Meek as well, but we could get a Blake Acres or a future second round draft pick to trade for someone like a Kieren Briggs or Matthew Flynn (considering the rumours of Grundy going to GWS)

    if so then an aware coach wouldnt play him!

    One, the coach might not be aware. I certainly haven’t telegraphed my plans to move jobs before I had to.

    Two, he might not care. Even when I’ve quit jobs my bosses have all made sure as [censored] they get their pound of flesh out my notice period and why would footy clubs be any different?

    Playing football isn’t like a typical job. It is played out in the public arena, where a brand is built.

    And if he has indeed ‘checked out’, that says a lot about him competitiveness and commitment to his teams, while playing for a team that is 2nd on the ladder and in a match against an arch rival 

    Mate, football is a job like any other, public or not. We fans think it’s way more than it is.

    You're not suggesting this is acceptable are you? 

    In that case he's got a notice period of 2 months to go and the company is better off walking him out of the building.

    Oh I think it’s just human nature. 

    and plenty of companies do exactly that.

    I think by memory some past Demon player didn't want to sign on like Jackson . This player was dropped from the seniors. The player might have been Rivers ( the one who went to Geelong) or it could be the midfielder who went to Carlton. Does anyone else know of this occurrence ? Yes I am suggesting Jackson gets dropped at the end of the home and away matches if he hasn't signed. Brayshaw should be played up forward thou he is a good backman . I also thought we were going to turn Rivers into a midfielder like Hodge ex Hawks.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
