At least through all the drivel in the commentary booth there was one spark of intelligence from Brayshaw "how do the Dockers satisfy Melbourne in a trade BT?"

Yes, how indeed?

My appraisal is making appraisals based on one game is silly.

Well how about an appraisal on the 40 odd games he's played. Who or what from Fremantle would be a fair deal.

We’d have to throw in a first rounder. Andrew Brayshaw is a far better player than Jackson at this stage and is still only 22 himself.

Agreed...He's a super player. Young or Serong would be nice but I'm sure they won't part with either.

BT also can’t identify players and often call them the wrong name. I’m pretty sure he has early onset dementia 

Reckon he's simply a lazy, entitled dunce with a lack of football nouse.

After the Freo game the choice that Jacko has to make about his future must seem clearer to him.

Go to Freo, and get paid the big bucks and that  more likely than not is about it……..or

Stay with the Dees, earn less (but still good money) and evolve into potentially a multiple premiership player in a champion team.

I know what I would choose to do.

What I don’t understand is how we a premiership team can’t attract any of the better key fwds over and yet freo is able to poach Jackson. What is going on

Because his family are in Perth.

Ummm. Jackson is a unicorn. There’s no other really exciting young ruckmen coming through.  He can ruck, play ruck rover and go forward.  But he’s still developing. He’s raw.  He showed last night that he sometimes has no awareness.  Run down.  Handballs to other players in worse positions.  Falls over.  Gets outbodied.  But the sky is the limit and his contract value will be based on a high degree of “potential”.  
 

If he goes, it’s likely Freo will look at offering a 1st rounder 2022 and a 1st rounder 2023.  Let’s ponder if that’s enough.

The danger in that is the big money may not be available.

No chance we get Young, Serong, Brayshaw or any other starting 18 player

Why not? We're losing one of ours.

We should be pushing for one of the Vic boys. I agree it won't be Brayshaw or Young, but I'd be pushing for Serong.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
