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.

    He looked flat.. on both players staying and the health of our game.

    Dollars and return home in LJ’s case, pure and simple

    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
