    To me we should get the best deal possible for Jacko, as much as I’d love him to stay if the kid really wants to get home what’s a 2 year extension going to do, he’ll be going as a 23yo better player.

    As for Gus get the job done, draft pics are good but you sign up blokes like him

    Hes part of the fabric of the the club

    irreplaceable

    I'm going to do a search for 'best possible deal' in this thread. It might break the search engine.

    Would we ask the question?

     

    Is he a vic boy? If so I definitely would be.

    I'm sure we'll be doing our due diligence on all players like Amiss and others that could potentially be part of a deal.

    Have only had limited vision of Amiss but he seems like more of a leading/separation forward and not really a contested mark. We've got a few of those already but he could also be a decent long term prospect.

    Probably a long shot given his age, injury and home town, but get the impression we'll be key forward shopping this offseason.

    Totally agree he's likely a longer term prospect, but don't mind the idea of him in a combo with JVR down the track.

    Is about to sign a new contract extension.

    I'd say with Gus signing it is highly likely we have upped our offer a bit knowing my namesake is gone.

    I reckon Lloyd Meek will be part of the deal to partner with Gawny, but we will probably also want a top 10 pick plus another pick late 1st early 2nd.

    Imagine now the club releases the statement that LJ has signed a 2 year contract with the dees.

    I could actually see it happening, not sold on anything yet. So many were giving up on Gus and look what happened.

    If you recruit a player and he leaves after two contracts you can stomach it, but when they leave after one contract and you deliver them a premiership, it hard not feel hard done by.

    This. There's a fair correlation between the Dogga is gone group to the we are rubbish group and the Gus is going group.

    The same people complaining that the Gus contract was too long will complain that two years is not long enough.

    i find it easier to stomach, as the ultimate has been achieved.

    Second time he’s shared contract news on his IG story, he’s just done it with Gus and he did the same thing when Clarry re-signed.

    Could mean nothing and Luke is certainly a different cat, but it does seem a little odd if he’s out the door.

    Would we ask the question?

     

    Freo has one tall forward on its primary list under the age of 29 ..... Jye Amiss. Freo probably aren't going to trade that player away.

    Can someone who can open this give a brief summary?

     

    Are they still confident of the double?

    If they are not going to trade a player then draft picks is what they have left. I would start at 2 first rounders.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
