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.

He said, “it’s all about the flags and nothing else”

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. 
And again, I feel sorry for fans who have 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…

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
