    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
