    I dont know how anyone would really know how or if the player made any impact on the trade details.

     

    I'm not sure either tbh

    Last year Cerra wanted to come to us (allegedly), but because we couldn't get the deal done went to Carlton instead. Apparently he didn't want Freo to get dudded in a trade with us (as we didn't have the capital to satisfy the dockers)

    My hope is Luke doesn't push for the move if Freo can't come up with a reasonable trade. He's getting offered a lot of cash though (allegedly) so there a big incentive there for him to insist on moving

    What can we get from Freo in return if Jackson leaves?

    As a starting point is has to be 2 first round picks, with 1 inside the top 5. 

    Or a 1st rounder + a player. Could we go for Rory Lobb and a top 10 pick?

    What happens if Freo can't satisfy the trade - given luke is not contracted to us?

    Yeah I know what you mean mate. 

    Yep I am disappointed. The club simply has to get the best deal possible and that has to be 2 First round picks a s a minimum.

    I was dirty on Vines. That was a clear handball over the top which would have allowed Jacko to run in and steady up for a goal.

    If that’s true that players are not regarding him as a full team mate, we have a big problem. This could be derailing our season.

    Hopefully they go hard and try to get a player and a pick.

     he's only gone if Freo can come up with the trade goods

    If you mean he's gone to WCE...that I could believe

    This won't be a popular opinion but if the club believes that then I wouldn't play him. I know right now we probably don't have a choice but for me, he could ay at Casey so we can get the 18 blokes on the field 100% commited to winning. 

    IMO, Brayshaws not going anywhere.

    Easy fix, bring in someone who does want to play with us next year

    That's the problem with recruiting Western Australian players, the go home factor is stronger than other states

    It's going to hurt our premiership chances next year because Jackson helps Gawn's game. Double whammy!

    I am certain we will have 1-2 more rucks to help Max next year.

    What on earth does this mean?

    "offically"???

    You need to post better than this and context.
    To Whom, is it signed?  Is he leaving Australia,.....?

    If not then its absolutely not official.

    Is it subject to a suitable trade etc.?

    Please advise better than the above.

    Like who?

    As part of any Jacko deal, I am pretty sure Meek will be included, if we want him and then they will probably look to rookie another.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
