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.

    The only difference is we are a better club now and never put Dogga in front of the media.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
