Freo won't crater beyond 10th. They play the Eagles twice and even if they win 70% of their home games plus one or two on the road that 9-12 wins.

Death riding them ...

Look if WC somehow get 8 in mooted JHF deal they're likely to offer something like 8 + F2nd for LJ vs Freo's 13 + F1st.  Then what are we going to do? Ask both of them for a sweetener but it won't be much.

And the question stills hangs out there - what happens if both WA clubs offer tripe for LJ?

Does he do the right thing and sign a new contract with MFC or does he screw the MFC and run home and give us the bird 

I'd be a little nervous if I was him - looms as the meat in the sandwich if you ask me 

Fremantle have had plenty of time it seems to get their house in order to do a fair trade but look miles off doing so atm 

This is why I'd be [censored] off if I was him. I'd be saying to Freo, just get the [censored] thing done.

It's obvious that neither Freo or WCE are prepared to sell the farm for Jackson. Neither club is getting in a bidding war because they don't have to. 

My take is that Freo committed to Jackson early this year, and Jackson was sold on the idea. Freo have cooled on what they think Jackson is now worth after his underwhelming season, but don't want to renege on their financial offer.

Freo will get Jackson, but not at the same price they would have given up last year.

So is the idea that we would happily take 13, F1st and F2nd (or 25 this yr) but Freo are baulking? Or are we wanting them to grow that 13 into a top 10 pick before talking? 

Who knows, I am just spit balling.

I don't think they have cooled - they just know that he wants to come to them and we would rather get something than nothing.  It's a different situation but not unlike what we're doing to Collingwood re Grundy - holding out 27 is unders but it may end up happening as they need to move on.

Freo never had any intention of offering anything remotely looking like a fair trade.

They assumed WCE would stay out of play due to contract value and because Jackson had not been directly approached by the Eagles.

Could we have played it better by sending clearer messages...who knows

The equation of points is probably meaningless, as we wanted 2 picks inside 10 and I don’t think they will get near that, so more later picks can do the job.

If it was pick 1 and pick 8 without Treacy we would have done the deal the minute trade week started but of course they wouldn’t. My plan is more picks, yes, but that they already have.

I am throwing in Treacy,  a Victorian kid they are not really playing, who may want to go home soon, as they are preferring Amiss, a local. He would not be the deal breaker of course just a wish list spit ball from me.

I am just fearful we are going to get crunched because of Bell.

We wanted 2 picks inside 10 - doesn't mean we thought we would get it!  That was just our starting position.

If we get a top 10 pick (this year) and freo's first next year, then there's a chance that will be top 10 in that draft.

From what I've heard, there is no way they would trade Treacy - he's a developing player in the area of the ground that is their greatest weakness.

That makes real sense Mo


Oh ffs... this has been obvious for weeks.

He's going to Freo and MFC will get unders; the only question is whether they can live with the  "unders"  for next season and the one after or whether it's obviously a stich up.

We probably won't know that until the  trades play out over the next 3 seasons or so but we can be sure " dogga" won't be playing for MFC next year.

Meanwhile we wait and hope there's something else more than Grundy that no one has seen coming.

A mobile big body..forward or back?

It doesn't matter what we get for LJ as long as the return is sufficient to complete other trades that we are targeting.

We’ve targeted no one so far so I doubt that’s the case. If Freo hand us 13 and a bunch of other stuff that lets us end up with a top 10 pick and a solid second pick (top 25, ideally better) then Im fine with that. But the market for top 10 picks seems pretty slow right now. Since the Port pick went towards JHF there’s been no public traction

WC will not like that.

Not sure why. As much as they don't admit it, their ruck stocks are useless unless NicNat gets on the park, and he's 9/10 shot.

I'd even find a F3rd for them to help

13 + F1 + north’s F2 isnt too bad, but doesnt get us the Cadman.  We have a potential midrange fs next year, so going early there might suit to strike before brown comes into play.  Need to improve this year’s pick significantly before it will get done, either by being able to trade up or they get it in.

What’s the bet the deal is already agreed but the AFL is making Demons & Dockers to string it out to the last couple of days to get more media attention and fans worked up?

7.25pm next Wednesday for sure.

The bit that makes me nervous in all of this is that Wet Toast are sitting back and waiting to see what Freo offer, rather than getting on the front foot and setting a benchmark. It just allows Freo to push this to the death which a) gives them a greater chance of dealing Lobb late and keeping the return b) let’s WC get tempted/distracted by other offers (which is highly possible given they are considered outsiders to get Jackson).

 

Hoping that Lamb sets a timeline on offers from both clubs (which should be after we deal for Grundy) such that Freo aren’t dictating the play

I read an article where the wce list manager said they hadn't put up on offer for LJ bc they were "waiting to see what the player wants" which tells me that he actually has no desire to go there

We would take that deal in a heart beat. That would value the trade above pick 1 assuming freo and norf finish in somewhat similar positions next year

I'm pretty sure everything at this point is just what's going back to freo. 

They've offered up 13, F1, north's F2 which I think were happy to take, but they want at least one current or future second rounder coming back.

DO we have a plan for pick 13??

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
