Couldn't help feel a bit sad for the whole saga when i saw how happy Dogga was when we won on Saturday night, you cant question his buy in, it just seems a shame that this is happening.

    He seems pretty invested imo.

    I genuinely think he hasn't made up his mind and is leaving all the contract talks until the season is finished.

    I'd be disappointed if he left, but would understand wholeheartedly as well. We'll get compensated well, but it's still a big loss.

    Thought he was good on the weekend. Took some good clunks and was unlucky not to hit the scoreboard.

    Whether we like it or not and bias aside, it is a massive thing to have on your shoulders right now. It has to be extremely tough for him at the minute. 

    Some of those marks came at very important times.

    Yes, he did play well on the weekend, and clearly his best game since the Brisbane win.

    Full credit to him. Hopefully he'll play career best footy  in the next 5 weeks.

    For a guy who has supposedly already signed a deal with Freo, he seems pretty invested. Was braving the wet at Casey to watch the VFL boys play, has been posting pics of the win on his Insta... I don't know, something doesn't add up.

    He could possibly have just 2 games left with the MFC, but he isn't acting like someone who has already checked out.

    I'd happily lose Jackson if it makes us more likely to win another flag or 2 in the near future.

    It's all about the flags and nothing else.

    I feel sorry for you.

    Fine, but do you know how much money his manager stands to make from this?

    People keep going on about camaraderie, team spirit, personal enjoyment & fulfillment and other airy-fairy things.

    God help us (make lots of money).

    I'm cool with it.

     

    And I mean a Jackson trade would be all about what it will mean to our flag push. I'd only be getting worked up if we were losing him for nothing.

    I'm with faulty on this issue.  Each year there is one winner and 17 also-rans.

    Winning premierships is the ultimate measure of real success.  We're not here to [censored] spiders.

    Why's that WCW? Yes we shouldn't forget the contributions that players have made but is it unreasonable to put the club first above any emotional attachments and continue with our desire to win?

    Why? Because…

    ”It’s all about the flags and nothing else”

    That’s why.

    I feel sorry for someone who rates a flag as the only “something” to be satisfied with and who doesn’t rate anything short of that. 
    My comment has nothing even remotely close to the Dogga issue. Nor is it an emotion-based comment. 
    I genuinely feel sorry for any Dees fan who has the “Flag or Bust” mentality.

    That’s all this is.

    Yeah for sure, you don't want the bar of success and happiness that high. I will still see this an an enjoyable season if we don't win it. 

    Sometimes absolute phrases aren't meant to be absolute. Not putting words in anyone's mouth but it does happen.

    Geez you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t!

    Too many times ppl misquote or misinterpret or read between the lines of other people’s comments. And they’re taken to task for it.

    So I quote him verbatim, and with zero ambiguity and I’m likewise having to explain. 
    He said “it’s all about flags and nothing else” which I took to mean it’s all about flags and nothing else, ergo I feel sorry for him.

    I've just phoned the club and asked if the boys could wear the redback jumper this week in a gesture of support.

    One would assume that @Webber might have something to say about this.

    Yes he did play well, all game, and its good to see at least a few posters here recognise it. He is still just 20. If he goes, it will be a huge loss, make no mistake - especially with a no 1 ruckman much closer to the end than the beginning. The club well understands  this.

    No, I believe Demonstone indicated that the spiders will be spared from his amorous inclinations.

    One would assume that. Unless told otherwise, perhaps [censored] spiders may be the best way to recover from not winning the flag…

After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
