What would you have done differently to make Freo pony up more draft assets? 

There is no doubt Freo definitely wanted him.  Of course, I cannot know the actual workings of the negotiations, but WC said they were also very interested.  If I was the MFC I would have caused the stand off to go longer and seek not only draft picks (inclusive of the Bedford trade) and sought a player as well, in an effort to try and fill any perceived gaps in our list, especially after losing Hunt's pace.

    Of course you would of, pretty easy to say when you are not in the job.

    I hope we don’t move on till we reach 300 pages - then let’s burn it.  300 pages of questionable quality at best. Kind of reflective of LJ’s last half of the season.

    Yes all for the 300 page finish line!

    If you want to see what real class is, have a look at Jayden Hunt's Instagram.

    A player we essentially didn't try too hard to keep, being gracious and thankful, versus a player we spent pick 3 on, who won a flag with us, and who ran home at the first chance he got.

    I think Grundy is an upgrade on LJ in the short term and what ever we offered LJ to stay must be nearly what we are paying BG, we now have salary cap room for KP next year and onwards.

    Has anyone in the media asked anyone in the Club whether they knew he met with Dockers (and Eagles) during the bye? All the language from, and (apparent) considerate treatment of Jackson by, the Club since then suggests they might not have? That would be surprising, though, in these days of 'spies everywhere'...

    It's probably just the norm now that players will speak to other clubs. Too hard to police.

    Yep, I reckon we would’ve been in Grundy’s ear as soon as we found out LJ was speaking to both Freo and WC

    You'd have to be pretty desperate to make a post just for the sake of getting the thread to 300 pages.

    edit:  It was worth a try.

    Its fitting way to finish a thread which was much ado about nothing.

    We revived the massive Jesse Hogan thread a couple of months back.

    This one might have another lease of life in the future.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
