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).

    Why?

    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.

    Again, this has NOTHING to do with players.

    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…

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
