    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
