    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
