How about...

Jackson and pick 44 to Freo for pick 13, Future 1st, and (North's) Future 2nd

Picks 13 and 27 to Geelong for pick 7 - Geelong use 13 for Bruhn

Grundy to Dees for Freo's (North's) future 2nd

Dees trade 7 and our future 2nd to GWS for 15 and 19

Dees end up with Grundy, 15, 19 and future 1st for Jackson, 27, 44 and a future 2nd

    Geelong want local Jye Clark at 7.

    Like it until we trade 7. Think we'd keep the top 10 pick.

    Can't see how they get Bruhn then. Pick 18 won't cut it, and you wouldn't accept their future first given it could be the same pick.

    Could Cadman slip through to 7 you reckon?

    Not really keen on Cadman personally. I wonder whether we'd be interested in Rueben Ginbey (another WA kid, I know).

    I wish there was some news out of Freo. 

    The silence seems like they are doing side deals but ignoring Jackson. 

    Meanwhile their potential pick swap partners are doing other deals, players traded and Freo is playing in its own little pond, by itself!!

    Movement?

     

    It's effectively:

    Port give 8, F1st and player/pick, get JHF and Rioli

    WC give 2 and Rioli, get 8 and Ports' F1

    Nth give JHF, get 2 and player/pick

     

    Freo might get caught out here

    Initial thought is it doesn't seem a great deal for WC?

    Wonder how close pick 8 and future 1st would get them to Jacko? Or even if they'd be allowed to do that?

    But hang on. I didn't say LJ was necessarily a generational talent. Dazzle said he wasn't better than any of the draft crop this year. Who. Have. Never. Played. A. Game. Of. AFL. Football.

    Luke Jackson was instrumental in the greatest burst of AFL football perhaps ever witnessed.

    I suppose it depends on where Port finish next year. If they drop further, it'd be 2 and rioli for 8 and maybe 6. Or it might end up 8 and 12. Hard to tell

    Why? They can still offer 8, which is more than Freo have this year. And if they get an extra 2023 1st, they'll be able to trade it

    JHF was pick 1 a year ago, of course he is worth pick 2

    Technically Eagles must use a first round pick this year, unless AFL give them an exemption

    I think the consensus has always been that, if they are bring Jackson in, the AFL would sign off on it.

    Given Jackson's age the general media feedback has been they'd be allowed to trade it.

    To paraphrase Luke 'Chopper' Beveridge, Freo better pony up if they want Jackson.

    Pick 2 + Rioli gets them pick 8 & future first rounder.  IF they are genuine about their interest in Jackson, that would suggest to me that they’ve already offered pick 2 in a direct swap for Jackson and Dees have said that’s not what they want.

     

    edit: this is assuming that they would be willing to give up Jacko for pick 8 and the future port 1st (which is around the Melbourne asking price).

    Last I heard (this morning) they'd had 6 or 7 meetings with us. Apparently a deal was getting close before the port pick swap but idk how accurate that is.

    Don't see this helping us. WC are going to want to keep a pick in the top 10 this year. Which only leaves their F1 and ports F1 on offer for us?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
