Sprung!

 

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.

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

Nup, Perth... 😬

 

 

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: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
