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"

    • 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.
