The footy gods have cursed quite a few trades for Freo, here’s hoping it continues (though nothing against Jackson personally).

    We will. It’s more about the size of the barrel now.

    Well, its finally over. i dont expect many will be totally happy as its certainly not what we wanted, but it wasnt really our fault, in the end its what we do with the picks from here on end and that will determine if we did well. I fully expect for us to live trade on draft night if not still try and move further up.

     

    As for Dogga, a life member, an historic premiership, a rising star and a good young fella who really gave everything. Here for a good time not a long time. Good luck to him. But from here on end, if you not with us, you are against us.

    Good luck to Jackson at Dockers. Can't complain about a player wanting to return home.

    But to be classified as a 'Rental' not a Demon.

    Match committee selection decisions in 2022 effectively guaranteed Bedford would ask for a trade to a team where he had confidence he'd play senior footy.

    Not happy with all of this and if the compensation is what's been mooted, then my only wish is they pick a Victorian kid that wants to come home and we screw the hell out of them, to get him.

    Yep, thats the part that has me a bit disappointed.. but lets turn the picks into a positive. Could that future dockers second go to the Pies?

    So it could work out as Pick 13, 12 and 30 (next year) for Bedford and 44 and 67

    Next years draft is meant to be excellent so 12 and 30 should be able to be packages to get into top 10

    Not too bad, considering

    Hard not to read this as: Melbourne gain a couple of potential stars for Casey, and the city of Fremantle to receive a new cashed up bogan.

    44 is GWS' pick, so it's the above picks for Jackson, Bedford and 67.

    Club will be confident they can use pick 30 to move either first round picks forward this year or next otherwise this would drag out further

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
