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

Probably has to ask mum if that’s ok first.

    I'm happy with the deal, not upset he's gone either. Unsure whether he checked out or got found out this year, I'm concerned with the club not chasing/landing a big KPF and filling some depth. Still unsure how Grundy/Gawn is going to work as I hope they aren't relying on Gawn to hold down that KPF spot. Seems alot of people thinking JVR is the next saviour, he hasn't even played a game yet and is a kid. Fingers crossed it all comes together in the end.

    I think it has to now come unto consideration.

    If Carlton thought that way they wouldn't have their Brownlow medallist captain.

    You draft best available and back yourself to retain them, unless they're saying in pre draft interviews that they only want to be in WA or SA or wherever, but if that was the case they'd also fail the other tests we put them through.

    Solid two picks Freo had at 7 & 8 in the same draft:

    Young and Serong,

    Problem for us was our Defense and Midfield were stacked, so we were happy to go the slightly askew pick with upside,

    It happens, nothing can be done now

    So he admits that the mid year break he pretty much made his decision.........

    Yes just watched him on Ch7 Perth caught up with Freo mid season met the coach and players and decided that’s where he was going. No wonder his form dropped off at the pointy end of the season he knew he was outta here. Bit sad but that’s how things go sometimes.!!!

    Both Victorians mind you. Does undermine your "we can never draft a West Australian again because my feelings might get hurt" thread?

    In fairness it wasn’t just him. Matt Rendell said - in his year end review - our fitness was dodgy all year and TMac out was a structural deficiency we could never overcome and that with a good pre season we’d be a lock for top 4 again. 
     

    So on this crappy day let’s just remember where we are at and it’s LJ’s loss not ours.

    No but he did talk about how it's been his dream his whole life to play for freo. Lovely. 

    Seriously what would you expect him to say.

    He also said he made his mind up during  the bye!!

    It was pretty obvious to everyone but nuffies on here but also indicates that Freo shouldn't use him as a spokesperson

    Selwood ,Dangerfield or Fyffe he aint

    Silly boy, should have kept his mouth shut. Has just admitted to lying to everyone. Didn’t need to say anything. Shows he is not the smartest cookie in the packet.

    Anyway, wish him well personally, but I hope Freo never beats us while he is a Docker.

    LJ was a great selection by JT. Nailed it. He helped us break a drought and netted us 2 more first round picks. He decided to go home. Can't be helped but in no way should that fact stop us drafting from the west

    You said Freo saw the writing on the wall and drafted all WA kids last year. Well, their entire midfield is made up of Victorians. Jackson now being the exception.

    Sure, I wish them the world on that front,

    Cerra was a vital cog that wanted to go home, they were spooked, decided to go all WA in the draft, it was very much on purpose and I agree with them,

    Likewise what the hell is the point of using a high pick on someone not from these parts? Look at North today, its not worth the hassle, the worry, the constant [censored] in the media all year about it,

    Yeah Brayshaw and Serong might stay, great! Thats nothing to do with us.

    Tell me if you would be comfortable with using our first this year and next on someone from WA...?

    Please, none of you would...

    Might have a better chance if keeping them if the Club actually had a home and consequently an identity

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
