    Its our right but we are so keen to post our 3c worth it's become a free for all rubbish topic.  We don't  need to read most of the offerings as they are off the mark anyway. 

    There's some irony in this post

    I wouldn't be surprised if West Coast are the one's that have made the God father offer and have been the team he's going to the entire time.

    I heard all the hype about that show and watched the lot thinking "it's got to get better"

    Lockdown was a strange world

    This is what’s really going on. And why we are so unfussed.

    We will walk in pick 2 and probably something else and never look back and Jackson will take the giant wads of cash freed up by the aging list there.

    That's why I've been wanting North to finish last. Just in case. Teams pretty much never trade pick 1, but might trade pick 2

    West Coast would do it anyway I reckon. They’ll have tons of cap space and it kick starts their rebuild with a known quantity.

     

    Freo just can’t get it done

    Trading out pick 1 would be a fair bit harder sell to their supporters than trading out pick 2 imo. Pick 1 hasn't been traded away in a fair while

    Adelaide -rankine 

    G coast - harmes,anb, pick 2 & pick 4 second round pick Adelaide 

    melb - Ben king second round pick west coast 

    west coast - Jackson 

    we have plenty of small half forward types in vfl to cover anb and harmes and frees up some cap 

    maybe Gold Coast use a pick on established mid like Tom Mitchell 

    would u swap Ben king for jackson?

    Educated guess or do you have some solid info to share?

    Fingers crossed you are right.

    Why would Gold Coast want Harmes, ANB or be interested in Tom Mitchell.

    And if I'm GC, there's no way I'm trading Ben King for Jackson. King has committed to the club. He's worth Jackson plus a 1st round pick.

    Sorry, no, on a reread that sounded much more authoritative than it should. I have no idea. Just seems to fit better all round.

    Whatever happens in regards to trades, it’s clear from tonite and most of this year that as good as Jackson is and could be in the future, he is not dominant in the ruck, or as a forward or as a follower that warrants us going any harder than what we have - let him go and maximise the return while we can

    Serious question, exactly what is Jackson contributing to the team at the moment? He's getting flogged in the ruck, can't take a mark and doesn't kick goals. He wants to get paid a fortune to run around like a midfielder, but he's getting 12 largely mediocre touches a week. Not having a third ruck on the list is a major list management failure.

    Agree at the moment he isn’t worth a fraction of what we hear is on offer. Is the knee injury hampering him? Maybe but Freo must be wondering if he is what they need. Ruckman take years to mature and learn the caper. He is well down on form and contributes nothing up forward

    And if he is a midfielder some of his decision making going forward was terrible. Could of gone short a few times instead of bombing forward, got lucky with the one fritsch mark

    Might be a champion in the future but right now he is an ordinary second ruck. Numerous second ruckman around the competition are producing a lot more. I reckon the Weid contributes as much when he has been second ruck.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
