I hope SWYL doesn't read this post.

He thinks we only won the flag because Jackson played the best quarter of footy in living memory, and that he's going to be the best player of all time.

On a side note, Nathan Buckley on SEN has urged us to ask for Griffen Logue  in return and thinks he could significantly improve our forward line next year.

We all loved that period in the Grand Final and not every player can produce that. I don't want to see him go because I do think he will be something special but we do have to be honest: How often do we see the flash in the pan performance that a club gets sucked in to and it turns out to be a total bust of a decision? I'm not saying this will definitely happen but there is a chance that it could. Selling while the stock is high wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

    I heard that Dogga really wants to stay, but Naughton, Gunston, Josh Kennedy and Griffin Logue will push him out.

    100% on board with this.

    It's so easy to be romanticised by the brief, bright sparks. 

    Don't get me wrong, Dogga  may very well develop into what he is being touted as, but he may not - and in any event it's all moot, because if he wants to go home and this is not where his heart is, or we have to throw everything we have to keep him, which will mean we're missing $$$ to keep some of the other pieces of the puzzle, then it's not worth it. It creates friction in the team, and leads to the kind of mentality on show by May earlier this year. Everyone has a role, and everyone needs to play that role, week in and out to make this dynasty we speak of. 

    We're not far off a perfect side. Aside from smarter delivery i50, we need to look for a forward or two, or at least someone who can play up forward, like Logue.

    If you need an example of an outstanding performance by a player that subsequently doesn't go on to deliver what was then expected, look no further than Weid in a final a few years ago.

    Good point.

    I genuinely thought Weideman was going to be the one of the best up and coming forwards in the game after that 2018 finals series..

    I see that BBP is using my name in a post again. I have him on ignore so I only see his odd ramblings sporadically. 
    The poor boy must have been sitting on the can during the 3rd Quarter of the GF and missed the complete and utter obliteration of the Bulldogs. He will not give LJ any credit for that work. Sad really, but not something i lose any sleep over. 
    Now if Luke decides to go home I will be disappointed, but it’s not the first time players have left us. We will have a plan B in place by now. 
    Get the maximum returns for a 20 year old, who is yet to reach anything like his potential. Screw the Bastards as hard as we can and get talent back this way. 
     

    and please BBP do not use my name without prior permission

    You are not worthy

    Why does everyone on here care if he goes.He had an influence in one fantastic quarter of the final and not much since then.I would rather have jack watts,he could run like the wind 6.5 tall could mark and kick.None which i have seen from jackson this season.By the time he reachs his so called potential we will have won 3 or 4 flags while he suffers in a Freo rebuild

    I can also confirm that information as I was driving the furniture removal truck. 
     

    I cannot disclose the contents of the truck because Luke made me sign an NDA.

    The doors aren't high enough for LJ to step through ?

    Surely you don’t buy a house then move your parents in with you at age 20…

    Is this a good sign?

    It is my understanding, although not yet confirmed, that Mel had corn flakes for breakfast this morning. Obviously has large ramifications for the developing trade situation, and I will report back as this story unfolds.

    Your source is different to mine. Since moving to a more affluent suburb, Mel was seen ordering bircher muesli and a soy latte at the local cafe. ET, maybe able to shed more light.

    The important part in all this is the fibre in the diet.

    I firmly believe Luke is going, but isn’t it funny how a meeting with player x means player y is not only leaving, but also going to a specific club? If LJ was going to the Eagles would we not have met with Brodie? I’m confused.

    I’d kill for Taylor Harris in our current forward 50. She knows how to compete in the air, and is a ripping kick.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
