We don’t have to accept any Freo offer, that’s the point.

A player we get, might be better than our current option and then is best 22. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a star. As an example, Larkey of the Roos is no star, but is better than our current options.

Yes, and our FD don’t think in terms of getting back picks. They want enough to do what they want to do - ie Hogan got us May, Preuss got us Brown.

If Jackson gets us Larkey that would be excellent. That’s not to say there aren’t other options but as an example - it suits.

    If the Dockers can somehow manufacture a top 10 pick this year and send it with next years first rounder I think we take it and run.

    Use this years top 10 pick and next years 2 first rounders on role players.

    Its how Hawthorn got 3 in a row.

    Uhm, thanks?

    I’d forgotten how god-awful this was. 
    Was happy to have forgotten. 
    Am now on Day One of building up another forgetting of it. 

    A six year old Col used to find this highly amusing to the point the first team I supported was Geelong. 

    Perhaps they could remaster it and superimpose it over a film clip of his Open Mike interview. At least in the ‘80’s he seemed relatively cheerful.

    but his mum was english and he spent most of his life in england. i also know many scots think he's a faux scot.

    but let's be generous and say he is one of your referenced rare half-unicorns 😁

    LOL. I'm not a fan personally but he loves the national football team and is a life long puddle drinker.

    In all fairness, Key Forwards or rucks even rarely have an impact in their first few years. Jackson has had an impact more in the ruck but has done a little damage up forward (well short of what we'd like obviously). His game time is also quite low compared to others, which begs a question around fitness. 

    I believe it takes about 3 years in the system to build up to the fitness you need

    Indeed.

    Barracking for Geelong (even if it was for a year) did scar me for life.😉

    Larkey is one of the better young KPFs IMO. Behind only the Kings, Naughton, Curnow and McKay in the 25 or under.

    The club hasn't really got a choice ... when a player leaves the club typically find out in trade week not in the lead up to finals so they have to wait anyhow

    Well they do have a choice, they can sit him out for the rest of the season like other clubs have done in the past.

    Exactky what kane Cornes thinks also.

    Again this week he said LJ is NOT what Freo needs.

    He's  not a forward, has no forward craft, he's a No.1 ruck.  They have Darcy, a 24 year old star, why do they want Luke.?

    my guess? because sean darcy comes out as contract as a free agent as a 24 year old in two years time

    geelong will come HARD for him

    That’s a bad result. If Jackson gets us Larkey god help us.

    Would it help that I then barracked for Collingwood after that (before finally settling on Melbourne who I stuck with)?

    The unicorn was part of Scotland's coinage between 1484 and 1525.

    We also had a half unicorn. 

    I'm guessing the half unicorn wasn't as rare?

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
