Didn’t have a disposal in the second half last night. Million dollar players don't go an entire half without touching the ball when the whips are cracking.

Havent looked at the stats but sounds like an awful second half

Can’t be a successful team without buy in and trust.

100% however he does have the right to exit.

As a coach though you also have the right to ask what's happening with performance.  And if you suspect he's already checked out... i know what i'd be doing...

My very strong mail, and it won’t come as any surprise, is that Jackson will be playing in WA next year.  The Club even offered to move his family to Melbourne recently and it was rejected.

I'm calling BS on this, you also said a couple of years ago that Oliver wanted to leave because he didn't win the B&F.

Seriously you two..

Do you guys understand that Jackson going into the PSD is the worst possible outcome that could happen to our football club.

We get absolutely zero benefit out of this and get completely shafted.

Whether you like it or not Jackson is out of contract. The moment we he nominates Freo, that's exactly who we have to deal with. Players has more power now days then the actual club especially when out of contract and nominate a set club.

You can pretend to talk tough all you want but at the end of the day, the club (Melbourne) need to find the best possible deal it can to be satisfied. 

Name me one big out of contact player that nominated a club of choice but then was forced to be traded to another because it didn't suit the clubs set requirements. 

It doesn't happen now days.

Not necessarily. I would goto Norf and say give us Pick #2 (priority pick) and we will knock back all offers from WCE and Freo and force LJ into the PSD. Its a dog act, yes, but it also gives us even more bargaining power to keep both WCE and Freo in check. 

They will know that we are using them as a bargaining chip, but we can come to some sort of arrangement / understanding for future swaps or trades, but ultimately it allows us to attach some value to the Norf option - not sure if its totally legal though.

So yeah.. that's incredibly bizarre and this type of scenario has never ever happened in AFL trade history and it certainly won't happened with Jackson.

Again, once they've nominated a club, they're getting there.

To technically get picked up by North he has to physically sign a contract. He would never in a million years play for another Melbourne club via a PSD draft.

Why does everyone think Melbourne will be this complete badass come trade time lol.

We've never operated this way and have built incredibly strong relationships with other clubs during trade time due to our professional style in getting deals done without any issues.

He's not screwing us at all Jaded.

He's out of contract and has the right to request a trade to his club of choice.

The moment he nominates Freo we'll facilitate the best deal for the club. You're forgetting we have Jason Taylor and Tim Lamb who have facilitated some of the best deals going sound in years.

 

Of course he’s screwing us if he nominates Freo when he knows full well we will get better compensated if he went to West Coast. Height of arrogance for somebody who has only achieved what he’s achieved because of the club he found himself at and not vice versa

Totally different scenario. Firstly Lever had a partner and kid on the way. Secondly Adelaide was a horrible mess of a club. 

Jackson is 21. Not married. No kids. No problems playing for and winning flags.

Lol talk about double standards.

No club owns a player. If he's desperate to leave as it is looking could be the case, we shake hands and wish him the best and look at getting maximum compensation.

That will never change.

Bring in the rule, stop players and clubs meeting and talking in the media so blatantly, and the discussion calms down during the season. It won’t even be at zero but it surely helps.

Its best for clubs and players and only impacts the media marginally. But the trade off is more players will move clubs unexpectedly when the off season starts.

Adelaide just made the grand final. Let’s no assume we couldn’t be in a similar spot to them in a few years (minus the infamous camp).

We also don’t know all of Jacko’s story. He might be incredibly tight with his family and have good reason to be with them.

Players get to choose, that’s the system, if Freo are willing to pay the price then we aren’t getting screwed.

He also said Luke Dunstan had met with dees well before it came out in the media last year and was a certainty to sign. 

He's had more right then wrong and has great links through his friend through player management.

Jesus Jaded this is seriously very unlike of you..

We need to cool the jets yeah? This whole media circus about him nominating Freo has come from one bloke only and that's Jon Ralph.  

For now lets chill out until official confirmation, meanwhile let's continue to support Jacko while he's playing in the red and blue yeah?

Still calling BS on it and seeing that SWYL likes your post if Goodwindees is right that means his post of the other day is BS.

Thanks DD. If my info turns out to be incorrect i will never live it down, because old Army Boy will never let me forget it. Oh woah is me. 
You just call BS on everything, so by sheer coincidence that means sometimes you are correct. 
As of early Last week the Club was Confident they could keep Jackson, but nothing had been signed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
