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?

    • 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.
