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

    And potentially Luke Jackson 

    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.

    I’m sure Jacko would love to walk to NM.!!!!

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
