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.

    You’d have to even more desperate to pretend to quote other people, just to get there.

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

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

    Even Voldemort got a brief re-opening

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
