Jacko Trac Clarry????

Theres now a list of premiership players who are going to look very attractive to opposition teams, who will have salary space or other attractions.

WA is a very atractive location and possibly cheaper with opportunities to get better return and n and nvestments.

BUT if you want to be part of the most significant ccesful TEAM and be remembered far beyond your playing career you may have to make some sacrifices.

Just look at Dangerfield  who has a profile as an important ndividual but has failed to get that elusive flag he wanted. Yes he has a great life in Geelong back home and is more than comfortable but he has not achieved the ultimate prize that all players want.

while the Premiership is the ultimate prize I am sure Swallow , Bowey and others will not be recognised as great until they are multiple winners over a long career. 

Jacko has only just begun and I am sure he is something special but so was Jesse Hogan.

Good luck to the negotiators

Swallow ?

It must be a fun life, waiting for someone to make a spelling mistake on a forum, so you can call them out.

Well done to you

Don’t take it personally, 1964_2. 
Actually, forget what I just said… DO take it personally. For it’s flattering to be pulled up by Demonstone as he only pulls up the best. 😁
Yes, he’s pulled me up a couple of times, and I’m a proofreader! But I’m proud to say that I once caught him out on an error. Alas, it was in a PM so everyone will just have to take my word for it. 😉

Just an attempt at levity, 1964.  Don't take it too seriously.

The problem is Demonstone that some posters do take it more than seriously. For some it can be confidence sapping.

I am a ( partially reformed) pedant. There are two reasons for this. First, I realised that fat fingers or too many vinos led to careless mistakes by my good self so ......... you know ..... glass houses etc.

Second, I realised that some posters ( just as in the general population are poor spellers)  and really are unable to do anything about it. So why (possibly) lessen their fun in posting?

Nowadays I am pedantic only toward posters who I really like or really dislike.

I like LJ I really do. The kid has not put 50 games together and we are already getting our knickers in a knot. 

He is learning his craft with an all time 5X AA ruckman. He ain’t going anywhere in the next few years. After that and a few more premierships I’ll happily exchange him for 2 top 10 draft picks that Meth coke will offer us ala Tim Kelly style. And we can rebuild once more. We will have Mac Andrew’s and Jeff whites Xbox by then anyway 😂😂to cover our ruck stocks.

Ok who are you, and what have you done with the real BBO?!! The BBO we all know and tolerate. This is too sensible, and even borderline sweet, to be him.

I actually thought you meant Sparrow. Both seven-letter words. Both begin with S. And both a type of bird!

I assumed Sparrow too

Me to.!!We all know how good Luke Jackson is and how much better we expect him to become, he has shown that he is a team oriented player that isn’t afraid of hard work. He is an MFC Premiership player who appeared to really enjoy our success, to my mind he is a stayer.❤️💙

Running back to Perth didn't work out too well for Jessie - I think Luke knows he is in a very special place right now

The core of this premiership team can enjoy sustained success and get handsomely paid too along the way If they stick together

Plenty of examples of characters that chased the $$$'s only to be disappointed - its not all about money IMO

"...The core of this premiership team can enjoy sustained success and get handsomely paid too along the way If they stick together..."

...and set up for life after footy too if they play their cards right and make sensible financial decisions.  The world is at their feet.

A trade deal can be worked out. They can play if they pay a tariff of one goal per quarter.


The boy's only 20 years old.

Plenty of time to make big dollars after success at the dees.

No rush.

GO DEES

The the AFL can then truly claim to be an international competition.

That shouldn't stop Dogga getting a just reward for his ability at his craft irrespective of age. I am sure the extensions over the last year or two were appropriate and fair. The 100% resigning would seem to indicate this.

Of course our Premiership  makes our players even more valuable but there are ways teams of players can be rewarded bonuses along the way. 

If Dynasties like Hawks Cats Tigers can handle this I have no doubt the Dees are well equipped to reward our players the right way  and to maintain longevity of success in the process. 

 

We wouldn't want to smell the old AFL for any reason anywhere...

Their friends in WA have long tentacles..

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
