    Logie was serviceable I think. Would be an improvement on Weid. But does he play when TMac and BBB are firing? 

    Unless BB starts eating meat he ain’t firing again

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

    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?

    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

    I suppose if we were desperate we could make a play for McStay who’s kicked a whopping 3 more goals than Weid.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.
