Guess his mum flip flops too?

I'd doubt that a mother would seriously interrupt a son's career forcing change that is not fully necessary. He has an almost unlimited series of short and longer-term advantages staying with the Dees that can be measured by his inputs and potentials to date. My own thoughts are that Dogga will stay at the Dees, long-term. This is a shrinking world; distances are more than halved and for movement across the country, circumstances have never been better. He could have a weekly, monthly or extended visit 'home' and 'return' provided in his contract, if necessary, or  some other arrangement, and still reach the heights of Demon participation and potential, meeting family needs and footballing career continuity. His independence as a younger man making his way in the world are also supported.

    LJ may want to go home, but he also doesn’t want to “leave” The MFC. he loves the place. 
    i don’t think he has signed anything yet, but that is a gut feel only. 
    I disagree with what GNF said vehemently. The Family have no problem with the MFC. 
    At this stage i just hope LJ has a phenomenal Finals Series…..

    No, just does not want him to play for WC.

    What is he 10 years old, if what you say about his Mum then the further away he is the better, I don't believe one word of your trash.

    Gee I hope the media whispers are correct.  It would be a huge fillip for our team if the big ‘Spaniel’ announced an extension  during the finals series.

    Gary Lyon on sen without mentioning sources said there might be a shift in the move to WA ... hopefully true but possibly managers leaking and trying to extract more from Freo and Eagles ... wouldn't be the 1st time

    Didn't come from a manager, reckon it came from the former players group chat via a former captain turned beer baron...

    How do you refund time lost reading the speculations?

  • Quote

    If it is true that he might stay, it would be purely on the basis that Freo don't have the necessary trade capital to meet our requirements (yet). If Jackson is adamant that he doesn't want to go to West Coast, than he may have discussed staying with us with both clubs and his manager to give Freo enough time to get the necessary capital for a trade in the future.

    That said, I still think he'll be traded this year and have resigned to the fact. I'm also looking forward to seeing what we receive in return as it may prolong our time at the top of the AFL.

    Hope the club announces he's extending his contract during the week off we'll have before the prelim!

    What a [censored] week it could be for Freo… lost their top 4 spot thanks to one almighty Carlton choke… their champion pings a hammy and won’t play in the elim… LJ says no dice and signs on… they will likely be bundled out of the finals in 3 days…

    She can big note herself all she likes if the board remains stable and club continues to be successful.

    This thread is getting to be like the game day thread! As I see it, it’s 3/4 time and we’re 10 points down. Some think it’s already over but Binman thinks our loading will see us through (ie jacko stays) In the game itself,   his mum is apparantly  starring at CHB for the opposition … maybe cause in our panic we just keep dumping it long and high into the pocket ? Plus the pokémon cards are also having a field day at half forward. But there’s Still a qtr to go …. I think with a few changes the dees can still pull it off!!

    She can big note herself for all I care the moment she gets us a home base.

    Right now, many are very impatient.

    This comment reminds me of the rigmarole around here with respect to Jesse Hogan leaving and then subsequently signing a 2 year contract extension at the dees (2016?). The posts where then updated to along the lines of "Hogan's going.....in 730 days"

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
