I didn't say he is homesick. As for wanting to play for Freo, I'd say that West Coast would find it harder to free up cap space in the short term to meet his asking price. And I'm sure Freo were in his manager's ear as a possible trade for Cerra.

There are a couple of factors in play as to why he wants to return to Perth. Neither of which involve the Melbourne FC. I'll leave it at that.

I have seen this BS before. Scott Thompson and his seriously ill brother. Load of krap

    do the Dees have trouble retaining our interstate talent? 
     

    Hoping Jackson stays but if not, let’s reset, demand 2 x 1st rounders ( get Aaron Cadman and Brayden George) and then get a 2nd Ruck/Fwd (like Haydn McLean) on less than 1/2 the money. 

    4 players over a 15 year period hardly says it’s an issue

    thats not many but we drafted a lot of duds before JT arrived so clubs wouldn't want to bring our players home anyways

    Norf or WC are our main competitors? 

    That's not the point.

    The main point is that we gain absolutely zero by letting him walk to the PSD. 

    How does that benefit the club?

    We are going to get SFA from Freo - wait and see

    Can you blame him/her

    people are getting a tad too demanding 

     

    Thanks for the mail D11

    I gather from recent posts thanking D11 that he/she has a record of providing good inside information.  Unfortunately such well informed posts are drowned in posts from people who know nothing yet post just as confidently and pretend inside knowledge.  For those of us ignorant (like me), I'd love to see a list of names of posters who have an established record of having inside information.

    Just like the BS that he'd already bought a house in Perth. You can believe what you like. I couldn't care less.

    Where is the fun in that Sue? Half the enjoyment of DL is working out who’s having a lend and who’s not. It’s called thinking for yourself. But as a general rule, until the Club confirms it, it ain’t yet real.

    Is our bet still on mo64?. Only problem is as Ethan Tremblay alluded to, I don't own anything, in fact I have no assets nor bank accounts in my name but I found a dollar coin this morning which I will put aside just in case.

    Is that an Australian Dollar or Zimbabwean Dollar?

    Problem with that is I don’t see us getting the two first round picks - prepare to be disappointed 

    Personally if Fremantle is his preferred I’d rather walk him to the PSD and Norf - why would we accept unders and make one of our main competitors stronger 

    Because we would get absolutely nothing in return which will hurt us even more.

    Steven Armstrong was delisted and Jimmy Toumpas was forced out.

    Completely two different scenarios.

    No chance GC let King go

    Dude - not being serious.

    I also can't see Dusty going to GC because he was drafted 2 years before Brandon Ellis and therefore they must be besties (as per the Age article)

    Which would you prefer, I do have a Zimbabwean half crown lying around somewhere.

    Hmm. I don't want to rob you of your last dollar. Let's just make the bet over our reputations on this site. In my case, that is probably worth less than a Zimbabwean dollar.

    No. In fact I think this comment is a bit of an overreaction SONS.

    In the 21 year period since Farmer has left we've lost, as you pointed out, 3 other players to back home.

    I think if anything that's a fantastic strike rate compared to the likes of Fremantle, Brisbane, GWS and Gold Coast.

    Cadman would be the dream get for me.

    Apologies DD36. I’m getting frustrated by the Jackson non signing. Becoming more likely he’s going home. As some know, I was very keen on Hayden Young as a highly skilled quarterback type player. And local. Jackson was a project and from WA, with go home factor always in the back of mind. But I saw the highlights and potential. Love JT for his bold vision and courage in picking Jackson. It proved a masterstroke and GF glory.  Really hope the kid sees his future at the Dees.

    All good mate, don't apologise. I think we're all frustrated, but it's the way it is unfortunately. 

    Goody didn't exactly sound confident either in his press conference unfortunately.

    Steven Armstrong won a🏆with Wetcoke and kicked the first goal of the 2006 GF if my memory serves me correctly.

    Goodwin was confident on Brayshaw staying though.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
