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

    • 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?
