Farewell Luke Jackson

Lucifers Hero

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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
