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.

    No more Grundy in the profile pic? Gone cold on him? Or just pumped about our new gun full fwd Harry Petty?!

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
