    I've spent tens of thousands of dollars on psychotherapy (part and parcel of following the Dees for close to 50 years maybe). But only now realising I could have saved all that dosh and just come to Demonland and consulted with fellow posters. Could have dealt with my passive aggressive tendencies, obtuseness, drug problem and propensity to resort to innuendo with a few taps of my keyboard.

    This debate is typical of Demonland: the 360 Degree gamut of Opinions. It reminds me  of the famous Yiddish observation that you get three - in this instance, we'll call them Yekkes - in a room and in an instant, you get five different opinions...

    No way would I give them anything back. We could've picked Young ( a great kick) who recently signed a 5 year deal instead of Luke. Pick 13 and a F1?? aren't equal let alone giving a F2 and F3 in a stronger draft next year.

    We may not have much choice.

    fwiw I think Freo will not make the 8 next year so their F! could well be a top 10 pick.  If we get their F1 I hope we keep it.

    Yeah, [censored] tell us this PRIVATE FAMILY MATTER! I, as an anonymous poster, deserve to be told of a STRANGER’S FAMILY MATTER as it causing me momentary distress due to the inability of my football club to get commensurate value in a trade!

    What? You mean someone who you've never met, has no meaningful relationship with you aside from wearing some colours that you like, a few days a week whilst chasing an odd shaped ball - you want to know what's happening for him and the distress in his life that informs his decision making? That seems reasonable.... 😇

    If we were in Freo's position, why would you offer more than 13 and F1.  They have us over a barrel, we have little negotiation power

    Not that it matters, but I don't think their offer is 'fair' 

    Whether you think Jackson is a potential superstar, or will 'only' be a good player, it's hard to argue he hasn't at least maintained his original draft value of pick 3

    Pick 13 + Pick (12-18?) wouldn't net pick 3 in a trade

    If the argument is purely about him being out of contract, why don't they just offer pick 50?

    In fact we have zero power at the moment we may have to accept much less next wednesday

    I agree, in fact, I think his value is a greater than pick 3. but what are you gonna do?

    I guess they are offer 13 and to F1 to satisfy us a bit whilst also knowing we don't have much choice

    I don't think that is quite right.

    We keep trying until Wednesday morning to get more, say that North F2.

    If Freo keep refusing, we ring LJ/Manager and say we are trying to help you get to the club you want, but they are not budging.

    We ask him/they to apply some pressure, and we are happy to have him back for a season and try again the following year. 

    We tell him we obviously value him more than Freo do, so now it's up to you guys and them, our hands are tied.

    In the end Freo have promised him a fat contract and to get him traded by us and they need to get the job done, or lose him and all credibility in a massive fail. 

    Plenty of other players and managers would be watching on.

    LJ said he won't go into the PSD. We will rely on that.

    Therefore it's us or them. We have bargaining power.

    Hilarious.

    Speaking on SEN, Dockers great Paul Hasleby backed up club list boss David Walls’ claim that if a player nominate to return to Victoria, they shouldn’t be able to choose which club.

    13, F1 and F2 (north 19 - 24) for Jackson and F2 (30-36 and F3 (48-54) seems reasonable to me. Gives freo an extra future 2nd so they can trade it for Sharp. They may want to use North's for that however.

    Maybe we will trade our future 1st plus Bedford for 12 or 15 from GWS (assuming they still have it) or Bedford plus North's future 2nd for 19. Probably wishful thinking but they have an extraordinary amount of 1st round picks and may wish to invest in next years draft.

    Very optimistic - Bedford just ain't worth that much

    I agree but many don’t. Clearly MFC think it’s an option otherwise they would have bought in Grundy already.

    • 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.
