Farewell Luke Jackson

Lucifers Hero
in Melbourne Demons

I'd be happy to hold those picks till next year considering that next years draft is rated stronger than current draft (which appears underwhelming). But the footy department will know best. (and thanks lord nev for clarifying pick 44 - was trying to figure it out haha).

    A pretty disappointing result after asking for an AFL draft pick in the top 10 and a first round pick.

    We should have received a better result from the Dockers for Luke Jackson.

    I feel we have been screwed over.

    I think we should be asking for a full explanation from Tim Lamb and the rest of the MFC list management staff as we definitely didn't get a fair trade from Fremantle for a extremely talented individual who is a 2021 Melbourne Demons Premiership player who helped turn the game to defeat the Western Bulldogs and is a 2021 Norwich Rising Star Award Winner.

    Just not good enough in my opinion.

    The end result is all that matters, so let's just wait and see the whole picture.

    We’ll have further plans. No need to agree to this deal just yet if that’s not the case.

    I expect we’ll be on the phone to GC fairly quickly.

    Well that is a very disappointing outcome. We clearly took well unders.

    I wish Freo continued mediocrity.

    We can't force teams to offer up what we think is a fair trade. Yep. we got 'unders' but if that is all that is offered our alternative to accepting what is on offer is to send Jackson to draft and get nothing in return.

    If Gold Coast didn’t have the brains of gold fish they’d trade us 7 for 13 and Freo’s 2nd and stiff Geelong with 13 for Bowes.

    But it’s Gold Coast, so what can you expect?

    So what pick(s) can we offer for Grundy? 27?

    Freo's future 2nd? Would they take the gamble that would be higher than 27 this year?

    Gold Coast need Bowes off their books, not pick 7.

    apart form not getting the Norths F2 you cant get what Freo don't have. Yes we have been screwed in not getting the top 10 we all wanted but not sure what Tim Lamb is going to say to make it any better and I reckon hes got better things to do than produce an explanation for you SD

    Obviously Wet Coke were never going to make a play for Jackson leaving us to deal solely with what Freo had to offer. We got bent over unfortunately.

    Well thank god that’s over. It was really a one horse race and they had limited realistic further chips for us to ask for. You cant make players come and you cant force other clubs to give up high picks. Lets just maximise what we received for the full picture this year and next and ensure we nail what we do with them.

    I would have liked a better deal but at the end of the day, LJ wanted Freo, they wanted him. Not sure WC ever really in the picture, just some posturing from all involved? The deal whilst disappointing, probably as good as we could get from them, especially given we needed time/picks to also get Grundy sorted.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
