Apology for what?

Stating the obvious that Jackson is going home when it's been well reported by other media outlets since May this year? Haha rightio mate..

Or should we say, rightio Sandra Sully.

You clearly have not read this thread.

If I told you, you would not believe me anyway.  Regardless clearly I cant tell you this. I would never be privy to this information again and I would destroy a good thing.  Its up to you if you want to believe me or not.

You could guess all those and still have a better than 50% chance of getting them right just based on player performance and likelihood.

Rubbish, I have been pretty much completely absent for at least 5 years. Just could not be bothered telling you my mail only to be abused. For some reason I have felt like taking on the DL abusive bullies this week.  I must be quiet at work!!!!

For the record saying who we are making a play for should never be read as we are getting.

In saying all of that if Jackson goes which is likely the Dees will almost certainly get Grundy.  We have made a huge play for him. But this you can read in the MSM and this does not mean its 100%.

Another Sandra Sully special.

Weids has a year left on his contact but was put up for sale last year and there were no takers........ not even Collingwood. Melb decided to re-sign him than give him away for nothing.  He is unlikely to get any interest this year and thus likely to be on our list in 2023. Currently he has fallen behind JVR and unlikely to see senior footy again in 2022. 

Tomlinson will request a trade despite being in contract. A early 3rd rounder will do it.

Bedford out of contract and likely to request a trade due to high competition for his spot. 

Baker likely to be delisted

Mitch Brown a 50/50 delist or new contract, may be kept for depth on a one year contract.

Kade Chandler - contracted and no whispers of him requesting trade

Jake Melksham - was gone and had even secured a job in finance for 2023 but clearly now highly likely to get another season.

Fraser Rossman - likely to be delisted

Jayden Hunt - likely to re-sign but considering offers from other clubs.

Michael Hibbert - 50/50 retire or one more season

That's my mail.

Please don’t go Jayden

Gary Lyon on SEN just said Jacko deal to Freo not done yet. Could possibly sign a 2 yr extension with us  

This was from someone he knows in the industry but said he didn’t know and it wasn’t from the MFC  He was just passing it on  

The intrigue continues. 

Garry has the same management company as Luke. He'd know!

Getting back to the LJ possible deal, couldn’t Freo clear Logue, who is rumoured to be unhappy, to WC plus their first pick say 14, for WC pick 2. They then get Doggies first pick, say 11, for Lobb, with maybe a later pick back to Dogs.

Freo then give us 2, 11 and say key forward Treacy, a Vic Country boy who is not getting a game with them atm, but is only 19, 195 cms, good hands, long kick and hard at the ball. Could be ok for us. With 2 we get Cadman.

We then have 11 to use, Cadman, JVR and Treacy, all young key forwards, with current guys BBB and Tom Mac for another year as well.

Get Grundy and we have solved ruck and key forwards issues for years.

Could trade 11 for another player, or use it in the draft.

That could be a sensational off season, while losing a potential great player, also  getting in several other players to solve list balance problems.

Thoughts?

I read an article today suggesting Cadman was in top three contention, so 11 is no good there

I said under the Roos tenure. If you hadn't noticed, he's been gone for 5 years.

This is the biggest bit of fluff I’ve read

Half your post is media speak that all Demonlanders already have heard

The other half is blatantly obvious, predicting what we all think will probably happen

How about sticking your neck out with something we don’t know 

 

 

Not to defend GNF, but if you hate his/her posts/think they're rubbish; why not just block him/her?

Makes for a better site than the current personal attacks.

I've not heard anything to suggest he's changed his mind, but god i hope it's right. imagine the boost the boys would get heading into a big final

Have you heard him say anything about going? He has said nothing other than he will look at it at seasons end

All the rest is subjective BS

I wonder why he changed the number on his insta handle from 6 to 12. 🤔

Tomlinson is on about $500k from memory. I think we'd let him go for free if a club would cover even 80% of that.

also depending on whether he has been front or rear end loaded

If a contracted player requests a trade does it void the contract?


What's with the vitriol toward @Grand New Flag?

It's a bloody supporters forum.

Any information, even if some doesn't turn out to be true should be enjoyed. And the poster has been accurate in the past haven't they?

I'd rather have info even if it's sometimes off then none at all.

The number 6 is signing for 2 years 🤷‍♂️

Also, controversial opinion, but I'd rather Luke go and we get Grundy for an early second round pick and make our way up the draft with the picks we get for Jackson with the aim to grab two top-liners.

We stay in contention in the now and also add for the future.

Jackson will never become the player Freo believe if their contract offer is anything to go by.

His instagram username has always had a 12 in it. It's been there since before he was drafted.

He did remove the "#6" from his instagram bio though. I'm not sure of the reasoning for the removal.

Because 12 is twice as good as 6 😜

Why would you bother postering when you are abused like this.

Yes, but everyone keeps quoting him/her/they/GlenBartletsCousin. And it is hardly ‘personal’ - DD, myself, and others are pointing out to our fellow landers that this person is not worth reading. 

That he spent years happily trolling us about information that was erroneous, crudely casting aspersions on our current president as she saved the club from Mr Bartlett, and now intimating that LJs mother is to blame for him not staying at the club.

This isn’t the fun that Nudge or Chilli bring - this is more manipulative and disrespectful to Landers and the club. 

I will leave it there lest I become borish but there it is.

I reckon 'Landers can decide for themselves tbh. If you've been annoyed by their posts for years then just put them on block. There's plenty of trolls here, some just follow specific posters around making comments about them (Hi Ethan), but what I've learned is the block function is your friend. They're not worth it if they get to you that much.

Not defending anything GNF has said or will say, just trying to save you the drama.

I don't recall if he/she has been accurate in the past.

But I believe one of the reasons people are so wary of his/her posts is he/she was the one who posted a series of inane riddles one year about a massive trade which never eventuated, which frustrated people.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
