I would love Hayden Young and he would be a fantastic long term replacement for Salem when his career is over.

However, he just signed a long term contract with Freo and clearly won’t be going anywhere.

I think you'd be surprised. If it's the only way to get Jackson, and freo decide he's worth more to their future than young... then he'll come home.

    I can’t believe how poorly he played this year.

    The worst part is he cut the guts out of his trade value.

    Relax . What will he get paid at Freo?

    Rising Star winner, Premiership player, very young , a player we we were looking to build our team around and you suggest he has limited trade value ?

    I don’t think so. 

    This bloke arguably has the greatest currency value ever afforded in the competition.

    Refer Kelly, Cameron.

    How do you know LJ is demanding anything other than potentially wanting to go to his home state? He has no say in what Freo are willing to offer him contractually.

    Come on, let's not be nuffies about this.

    Yeah…. You’re probably right he isn’t demanding the lucrative contract. Freo went and offered top dollar from day one, forcing current players off their list including a club champion with no negotiation from the Jackson camp. 
     

    You may think I’m being a nuffie but you’re living in la la land if you really believe this move has nothing to do with the cash.

    That isn't what I said. I said he didn't set his own wage demands...

    If Freo offered salary X and LJ came back asking for salary X+100k that is exactly what he is doing.

    You're entirely speculating with no facts. "If" is a pretty important word in your post.

    I don’t see what the issue is with that. LJ has given us nothing this year. I am starting to think there’s a chance that he may never live up to his potential - so better to cash out now whilst the offers are high. I may eat my words in a few years but we all saw first hand how the Weid fizzled out. If we can get Grundy and a good KPF from the draft then that’s a massive win IMO.

     

    i trust if there is anything wrong with Grundy medically then we’d back out. Don’t need a mother BBB on our hands.

    Grundy is a big risk, and we would be doing a favour to the filth.

    Wouldn't it be better to transform Weideman into the second ruckman?

    Use the assets we get from LJ to look for some other much needed positions? Say a CHF or small forward?

    Jonny Ralph said at half time 5 Freo players will request trades this summer. I’m almost certain he said that - anyone confirm?

    One was Liam Henry who isn’t getting a game and has enough talent for us to look into him as part of the trade. God knows we need some fwd creativity

    Would certainly consider Henry and Acres. Acres has done well on the wing. We lack pace on the non-langers wing

    I'd take Liam Henry in a heartbeat and play him deep forward with Kosi playing some more minutes at centre bounce next year.

    If Henry could bring consistent pressure then those two would be an enormous headache for opposition and if we got back to some more daring ball movement going forward, they could get off the chain.

    Also brings incredible excitement to our forwardline which we're lacking badly.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
