Goodwin was confident on Brayshaw staying though.

Seemed to be - not at all on LJ unfortunately which is extremely disappointing

    The AFL loves the trading period in October, it takes the Spring horse racing carnival off the back pages.

    AFL management will be watching closely the Jackson trade from above.

    The AFL will not have their trading system compromised by a dud deal. It is in their interest to see that any deal serves the AFL.

    We will be we looked after.

    Not to worry ... the pundits will tell us to be grateful for Freo's first rounder, their 2023 second rounder and Meek

    Goodwin definitely  not his usual  smiling confident self in the latest presser.

    I still think there is hope LJ will re-sign as well as Brayshaw.

    Why on earth wouldnt they?

    I would swap him for that, I know he is young but he ain’t a forward and not a top ruckman at this point perhaps lots of potential.  But “potential” is a strange future thing IMO.

    Wow...he's worth two first rounders (think Lever) one of which at least would need to be top 5.

    Goodwin prob looks flat cos we are playing crap, he is devoid of ideas on how to turn it around and LJ is about to walk.

    Just calling women “sheilas” might explain why Uncle Bitter only gets a night out with Uncle Bitter. 

    Maybe all their names are Sheila? So as a plural they are Sheila’s… and he just forgot the ‘ 😂

    Yes but will we get that? I honestly don’t think he is but that is a personal judgement. Honestly just between you and me DJ ( ha ha) I think he is over rated. But don't tell anyone that as it might reduce our trading value.

    Goody looks like he has had some sleepless nights to be honest. Its only natural though.. the intensity and pressure on the team has heightened significantly.. its not easy being the hunted, it takes another type of pressure to deal with. Also wonder if the impending departure of Ooze to the Giants is weighing on him a bit as well.. little things add up when the pressure is on.

    The Club will be ok though, even if we lose Jackson and Brayshaw.. the club will survive.. we have cornerstone, generational players locked in.. we build around the stayers, not worry about the leavers.

    Whispers there was a gentleman’s agreement before the season commenced, between LJ and Fremantle. Given Fremantle’s (unforeseen) form, I’m wondering if they’ve attempted to change any of the terms within the (unsigned) contract.

    I have got to the point ET where  I don’t care. IMO we keep if the cost is not too high. If too high get the best deal we can and move on. Of a choice between him and Angus then I would keep Angus.

    Lovely. Did they start negotiating that the day after the Cerra to Carlton trade was finalised?

    Or he has a cold or flu, like over half the people in Vic currently do.

    This is so fascinating if true and I would love to know what goes on behind closed doors.

    Maybe the Dockers have outperformed in there own expectations for the year and may need to fork out some cashola for the existing group.

    I don't understand why there so easily giving up Lobb who was great up the ground this year and even better this year playing as a deeper target.

    Being a genuine contender that they are, I struggle to know the appeal of letting go a current playing performing at a high level and attracting a player who has shown exciting 'glimpses' but is still someone based on potential.

    If that's true, that is incredibly disappointing given Cerra was keen to come to us last year.

    FFS why would Jackson do that when he knew we were trying to court a Freo player?!

    i'd imagine because he was young and still a kid

    your question would be better directed at his management who would be clearly the one holding the reins

    Not sure but why can’t we do the same, if he wants to go back to Perth come hell or high water then see if WC will come to the party at least they have the picks that can satisfy us. If Freo won’t offer a half decent deal I’d rather see him walk into the draft before letting Freo just walk all over us. Perhaps he might come to his sense and sign on another term if a deal can’t get done.

    • 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.
