Was there once a rule that prevented this in the first year of a new contract? 

There was - it was called the Caracella rule after Sheedy traded Blake Caracella less than 6 months after signing a new contract.  I don't think it exists any more.  Of course players have always had the right to refuse a trade, just like Ryan Ferguson (not Fitzgerald) did when we tried to trade him to the Hawks for Brad Sewell.  

I think the only players who can't be traded now are new draftees and rookies.  I think new draftees have to have been at a club for at least two years now (preventing the Nathan Buckley scenario where he left Brisbane after only one season).

    I'm just wondering if he has access talking to the media anywhere.

    Dockers see this as an opportunity to improve their list, not square it.

    They have to find a nice pick this year (top 10) and bundle it up with next years first rounder and some steak knives.

    That''s the best we can hope for.

    The point was that you called all West Aussies soft who didn’t want to leave their mums. I’m from WA, had no issues with leaving my parents, and warring isn’t soft. It wasn’t a comparison to war, you’ve missed the point. Happy to leave it there. 

    Well played Ethan.

    That's a ridiculous measurement. There's been plenty of players who have played well in Grand Finals that had average careers. Shane Ellen is the first that comes to mind. And playing well in 1 game doesn't make you a proven anything.

    We won't be asking for any players, aside from steak knives Meek. As Goodwindees said, we'll get draft picks, and potentially pursue a free agent with our cap space.

    I'm predicting we get a latter top 10 pick, another 1st rd (this year or next) and steak knives Meek. There may also be shuffling of picks.

     

     

    Lol, I'm pretty sure Freo aren't pursuing Jackson because of his current MVP status. He did something  bloody special in the GF - the big stage. He performed way above expectations for a second year player and that's what matters if you're entertaining finals footy.

    I'm sure I could come up with a list of gun players that didn't perform in grand finals contrary to Shane Ellen's cameo, but both are irrelevant.

    I think they will trade out Lobb and Logue who are both worth early 2nd round picks to move up to Bulldogs 1st pick or another clubs pick in that range, then trade 1st this year, 1st next year and Meek. 

    So 10, 15, F1st and Meek for Jackson and our late 2nd (right now pick 35). Would have Jackson as pick 1 in value Plus Lloyd Meek.

    The Media know as much about Luke’s next contract, as people here on ‘Land. 
    He is still a MFC Player at this point in time

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
