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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
