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: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
