Bedford ... the fact that he couldn't get a game in 2022 doesn't mean that that would always be the case.

Poor outcome for MFC.

 

Agree. Toby would have got Senior games next year. I am disappointed to lose him at this point in his career

We blinked.  In a game of poker, we decided it was time to go to the bar and so we folded.  Time will decide the winner and loser but for now, we seem to have got unders in the LJ trade.  

Hopefully we lost that hand in order to win the game. Let’s see what happens now.

I don’t mind the trade. Not perfect but something to work with.

Two first rounders and a second rounder is unprecedented for a player that has just come off a poor season, and to not have to give up a second rounder.

Sure, if he had a great season we should be getting a top 10 pick but the point is he didn’t and potential is a dirty word. Luke Jackson is potential at this stage.

Here’s to a productive Tuesday and Wednesday by the club.

History tells me that we tend to complete these trades for unders, only to end up with a net gain over the remainder of the trade period and through the draft. Fingers crossed that's the case again this year.

History tells me fans complain about us taking "unders" or paying "overs" with every major trade we've completed in the past 10 years. They're nearly always wrong.

[censored] people need to relax.

Nobody has any idea what the final analysis will look like so what is the point of complaining about specific draft picks. 

We got our haul and watch what happens either at the end of Wednesday night or next year if we decide to keep a our future first rounder, (which I think we will). 

If we manage to use 13, 27 and some other selections to move into the top 6 or 7 this year and then have two first rounders for next year to play with at a stronger draft, you can't not be excited about what that will look like.

As so many calm heads have already stated, we have no idea what the ramifications would be if we'd dug our heels in any longer. We've got it done clearly so we can concentrate on the myriad of opportunities that now lie ahead for this draft.

How about we wait until Wednesday night to reassess eh? 

How about we wait for about 5 years and see what we got out of Jacko Toby and 3rd and fourth rounders! 
Remember we have a 13 ( reckon we will upgrade that with GWS or Gold Coast or another Club looking for points by Wed night) future 1st and 2nd rounders from Freo who will do well to be SIXTH  next season.

Plus we still haven't touched 27 which should go to Pies with a future 3rd rounder or the like and we get Grundy.

AND THE REAL DEAL is 3 selections for 3 A orB grade footballers which we have no idea how good they may be but we will back our List Managers to get the best for the Club.

WE GAVE AWAY in between A possible A Grade Generational Star and dynamic forward OR an average bits and pieces ex basketballer who is not up for an extensive career in the grind of AFL and hangs out with mates more than he should. Bedford is a chance of improving but again we don't know his pace is his weapon and the two picks of 44 and 67 could yield Tom Gillies or Tommmy Mac Donald (or even Oscar.).

Just the same as we claim the jury is still out on the Kelly pick with Salo Hunty and whatever, I reckon in 5 years time we will know a lot more who won etc.

If we win a flag or two in the time very few of us will even worry as long as Freo or GWS don't beat us in aFinal in the time in between!! 

We have 3 picks from 1 st and 2 Nd round which we should be excited about, with 2 next year in a very strong predicted draft plus our 1st rounder so let's get excited about that!! 

Too many D/Lers are like Dodoro and think we can WIN every trade without knowing who our chips that we will be playing with are and how they will develop.

In JT and Crew we  trust .

We lost as soon as he decided to leave.

Happy with the trade.

We should move this thread back to the main board and change the title to

'Deathride Fremantle'

 

Or maybe "Dealings with a Bell end"

Let’s see if Jackson returns the same courtesy to us with a nice thank you. 

Class and style MFC Of which some D/L ers are born without.

Let's  just think of that 3rd quarter in the GF and know we are the winner for having  Jacko as a member of that fabulous 23 and that can NEVER EVER be taken off his CV or highlight reel.

Thank you Dogga and good luck Toby.

Couldn’t get a game in 19, 20 or 21 either. Pick 44 is fair. Spinning that value in to part of a future 2nd that could produce a very good player is even better.

Lets see if we got bent over a barrel.

This is one of the better mixed metaphors I’ve seen for quite some time.

Bravo.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
