Am I the only one that thinks WCE needs Jackson more then Freo does?

    Freo don't have a top 5 pick. While they could trade up for a higher pick, we will lose value to achieve this.

    Gold Coast fought tooth and nail to get a top 10 pick from Hawthorn for O'Meara and St Kilda did a great trade for them in order to broker the deal.

    Conversely, the Cats took a number of lower picks from WCE for Kelly, which, in aggregate, added up to more than pick 1 in value and was a better deal.

    I would prefer we take a collection of lower picks and let our brains trust work out how to push up or down the draft board. Brokerage is expensive in the AFL system.

    Exactly the Kelly deal with the best parallel in recent years. If only Jackson would give us 1-2 more years we could work on a better deal. The reason cats were able to get that deal was wc had effectively 2 years to come up with the picks.

    And Jackson knows that there is a lot of scum bag coaches out there who train their rabble to injure Max, and in turn he could have to play under.

    Amazed some people are saying that they would accept Meek, Pick 14 and an early 2nd round pick for Dogga. He's 2 first round picks (at least one of which should be in the top 10) at a minimum. 

    As others have said, if we can come away with Grundy, an early pick to get another young key forward and a developing young ruck and Brodie Grundy, then that's something at least.

    Always thought WCE would be his home but I thought they might wait until Nic Nat is closer to retirement.

    Their ladder position this year puts them in such a great position that they may feel they need to move this year.What better use is there for picks 2 and 20 (?)

    Money (salary cap) could be an issue but I'm sure it could be worked out

    Sam Edmund on SEN today.

    Luke Jackson (Melbourne)

    “West Coast believe they’re still in the hunt for Luke, so we cannot rule out the Eagles.

    “Fremantle are seen to be the frontrunner there, that might still be the case, but the Eagles maintain they’re still in the race for the WA-born ruckman.

    “Luke Jackson’s gone, let’s just state that as fact.”

    As I posted on the trade thread, it's only a fact when he's gone Sam...

    Opinions on 'protocol' please.

    Should supporters boo a player at age 22 when he returns to play your team, after he has helped land 2 premierships and chooses to go and be employed elsewhere?

    Yeah I'm torn what to believe.

    History will say when you've put contract talks until the end of the season then then points to you being gone.

    Yet, I see how invested and happy here is around the boys still and it gives me a glimmer of hope. Unless he's announced to teammates internally and they've made the decision to accept and still embrace him as a teammate until we're done this year.

    Agree, NicNat in for more knee surgery. He's fat, probably because he can't train.

    I think the determining factor for people who go the boo will be whether they feel we are fairly compensated.

    Agree dazz', I think he's a good kid and would love to keep him.

    At least he's invested in the now which is great.

    The rest will sort itself out in time.

    I sort of hoped / felt that he made the announcement in the first Q v BNE.

    in the week after their last game.

    He's already decided ( no matter what he says) so he will just get it done.

    I speculate he's really sure now  which may be what he played so well against Brisbane.

    Perhaps weight off his shoulders  even though it was pretty likely 3 months ago

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
