Jon Ralph just spoke about Jackson. He said the club already knows and possibly announced as late as next week.  Apparently has been promised a hybrid Blicavs style role which appeals to him.

just like howe was promised to be a forward at the filth?

Most likely but it’s dumb to give up a first or high second for a player we don’t need (in terms of age and wages)

I agree mate, I've been a broke record on this stating its bad list management from our end if we were to give up a 1st rounder for a 29 year old ruckman.

Makes zero sense to me.

could be decent depth if one of Chandler/Bedford moved on?

Potentially style wise he appears a more rounded player than either Toby or Kade. 

 

Just let him go and be done with it. Obvious his heart isn't in it and hasn't been for a while. He cant get his hands on it consistently so enjoy the Blicavs role Luke, wow.

Disappointed but hey we have been dudded before and will be again but it hurts a bit more this time he is possibly a generational player and he was brilliant for those 17 magical minutes in the Granny last year. To be honest I can’t remember him ever saying jeez I love this club and can see a future here. So he is probably honest as well. I hope that we can find a VG forward to salvage something from the LJ wreck. I will always hold him in genuine regard but not whilst wearing enemy colours. Good luck LJ.😭😭

Not sure why we never experimented with him as an inside mid, or on the wing

Hang on, I think I do actually...:goody:

Yeah, he's "excited" at the thought of a Blicavs role but with a Buddy Franklin paypacket.

Good luck Freo.

We experimented with him as a 2nd ruck and we won a flag

Henry averages 9 disposals, 0.4 goals and 1 tackle a game in 3 seasons. Poor man’s Spargo or Pickett. We don’t need another small forward whilst Chandler has more upside to discover. Best to pass on him if offered in trade.

I wonder why we aren’t interested in Blake Acres? I can’t see why Freo are willing to part with him. He had a good season and played well in finals on the wing.

At least we are finally hearing 2 first rounders coming back and how Freo are going to struggle to satisfy it.

He's a turnover merchant. Harmes is better.

Im so over it now and while i think its a hard decision for a young bloke and the money is going to be too good to refuse, i cant help but think it was one of a number of things that derailed our season.

Its really disappointing though..  Draftees should be signed to 4 year contracts when drafted.

He’s only going to get half the money as Harmes. He reminds me of Kamden McIntosh. 
 

I always thought it would be good to see Jackson attend the odd centre bounce as a mid alongside Gawn. Issue is you can’t play him as a mid and a ruck. It’s too taxing. I don’t really get what Ralph is sprouting. So he’s going to turn into Blicavs? It won’t suit him to be thrown all over the ground. IMO he’s a ruck and can pinch hit forward. Seems a natural ball winner when given the chance. Going to Freo doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. And 800-900k a year to try turn him into Blicavs is a huge  risk.

With us or Freo, I’d happily see him play more as a mid, def could develop into that type.

Gawn , JACKSON , Oliver , Petracca


For that money on a long deal, you cannot blame the kid. But it is sad, because I know he also loves The MFC

Some will think this is a strange thing to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if our FD are fine with almost pushing out LJ, providing we can plug multiple deficiencies on our list with the capital his trade will hopefully provide.

Did you say the same about Tom Scully?

LJ hasn’t said a word, different scenarios

Tend to agree but draftees can't get draftee money for 4 years.  Especially if they are a player like say, Nick Daicos

It's a free market in terms of players being able to get the best contract they can get (from their 3rd year onwards)

So some real flexibility with pay scales would need to be factored in, otherwise the PA would never agree to 4 years minimum

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
