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.

The media really went after us this year. Had to overplay everything to get clicks, because we as reigning premiers are not a Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond etc who gets enough interest / clicks just out of any kind of standard news story.

So all of the “Goody behavioural issues”, “Bartlett board fighting”, “10-0 - won’t lose a game all year”, “Milky punch”, “Jacko leaving”, “have the wheels fallen off” stories were exaggerated and no doubt a constant distraction and waste of energy for the club/players.

    LJ hasn’t said a word, different scenarios 

    The only difference is we are a better club now and never put Dogga in front of the media.  
    But I’ll leave it there. Most will understand.

    Did we even try this once? 

    this is the issue with Goodwin. Is our “method”, “focus on pressure, defence”, “repeating the basics” that important that we couldn’t even try this for a couple of centre bounces at an appropriate time? (Ie vs Nth, West coast, or when 50 points up against GWS or Bris)

    Are you suggesting he will never design rockets? Which could be an issue given he has ambitions of discovering other planets

    That is weird.  Blicavs plays ruck/midfielder/relief ruck. It looks just like the role he has at the dees. 

    Does J Ralph really think if that was what he wanted we wouldn't tweak the role for him. 

    Feeling eerily similar to the time Howe left us because Collingwood promised him a role change only for him to assume (and thrive in) exactly the same role he played at Melbourne.

    If true, having WC as a possibility opens up a whole new ball park. And I’d be telling WC and Freo, two top 10 picks (that way you would get one and another say top 15)

    This is actually really good news - saying no preferred WA club which gives us some leverage.

    If true, this may be Jacko’s method of looking after us. Rather than the speculated, “I will sign with Melb for 2 years, if Freo don’t offer up the fair picks” 

    Good news. Go your hardest Freo & WCE - who wants him the most?

    He’s too broken. Also you’d end up paying overs for the name. Give us picks or someone younger/reliable/impactful.

    edit: sorry, this was in reply to a separate post re. Fyfe

    West Coast in play is great news. Their pick 2 and Jack Darling would be a great deal for us if we could make it happen

    Jackson will not nominate a preferred club, and is fielding offers from both Fremantle and West Coast - leaving Melbourne to strike the best deal with one of those clubs.

    Massive if true wow

    I think it’s a ploy by Jackson’s management to gain leverage; if you don’t agree to a trade, we’ll go to the PSD and he’ll land at the eagles for no return.

    Luke not nominating Freo May well be a good thing for us but I’m not so sure. For two reasons. One maybe Freo have gone a bit cold on him giving his recent form. If they are not willing to pay him the big bucks then it’s going to be harder for us to get the big picks. 
    The second reason is yes WC coast have pick two and pick 20 which in my view is about right for Jackson but that’s nearly all their draft capital this year and they have massive gaps all over their list.  I don’t think it makes sense for where they currently are with their rebuild to waste their picks in Luke. 
    It would appear Luke had done the right thing by us but let’s see how it pans out.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
