Goodwin was confident on Brayshaw staying though.

Seemed to be - not at all on LJ unfortunately which is extremely disappointing 

 

The AFL loves the trading period in October, it takes the Spring horse racing carnival off the back pages.

AFL management will be watching closely the Jackson trade from above.

The AFL will not have their trading system compromised by a dud deal. It is in their interest to see that any deal serves the AFL.

We will be we looked after.

You are not alone dc. In fact I think we are both in the vast majority.

Not to worry ... the pundits will tell us to be grateful for Freo's first rounder, their 2023 second rounder and Meek

Goodwin definitely  not his usual  smiling confident self in the latest presser.

I still think there is hope LJ will re-sign as well as Brayshaw.

Why on earth wouldnt they?

I would swap him for that, I know he is young but he ain’t a forward and not a top ruckman at this point perhaps lots of potential.  But “potential” is a strange future thing IMO.

He looked flat.. on both players staying and the health of our game.

Dollars and return home in LJ’s case, pure and simple

Wow...he's worth two first rounders (think Lever) one of which at least would need to be top 5.

Most of the AFL management are invested BIG into the ponies

Goodwin prob looks flat cos we are playing crap, he is devoid of ideas on how to turn it around and LJ is about to walk.

Just calling women “sheilas” might explain why Uncle Bitter only gets a night out with Uncle Bitter. 

Maybe all their names are Sheila? So as a plural they are Sheila’s… and he just forgot the ‘ 😂

Yes but will we get that? I honestly don’t think he is but that is a personal judgement. Honestly just between you and me DJ ( ha ha) I think he is over rated. But don't tell anyone that as it might reduce our trading value.

Under what scenario would an AFL compensation pick be triggered?

as far as jackson goes......none

Goody looks like he has had some sleepless nights to be honest. Its only natural though.. the intensity and pressure on the team has heightened significantly.. its not easy being the hunted, it takes another type of pressure to deal with. Also wonder if the impending departure of Ooze to the Giants is weighing on him a bit as well.. little things add up when the pressure is on.

The Club will be ok though, even if we lose Jackson and Brayshaw.. the club will survive.. we have cornerstone, generational players locked in.. we build around the stayers, not worry about the leavers.

Whispers there was a gentleman’s agreement before the season commenced, between LJ and Fremantle. Given Fremantle’s (unforeseen) form, I’m wondering if they’ve attempted to change any of the terms within the (unsigned) contract.

I have got to the point ET where  I don’t care. IMO we keep if the cost is not too high. If too high get the best deal we can and move on. Of a choice between him and Angus then I would keep Angus.

Lovely. Did they start negotiating that the day after the Cerra to Carlton trade was finalised?

Or he has a cold or flu, like over half the people in Vic currently do.

This is so fascinating if true and I would love to know what goes on behind closed doors.

Maybe the Dockers have outperformed in there own expectations for the year and may need to fork out some cashola for the existing group.

I don't understand why there so easily giving up Lobb who was great up the ground this year and even better this year playing as a deeper target.

Being a genuine contender that they are, I struggle to know the appeal of letting go a current playing performing at a high level and attracting a player who has shown exciting 'glimpses' but is still someone based on potential.

If that's true, that is incredibly disappointing given Cerra was keen to come to us last year.

FFS why would Jackson do that when he knew we were trying to court a Freo player?!

i'd imagine because he was young and still a kid

your question would be better directed at his management who would be clearly the one holding the reins

Not sure but why can’t we do the same, if he wants to go back to Perth come hell or high water then see if WC will come to the party at least they have the picks that can satisfy us. If Freo won’t offer a half decent deal I’d rather see him walk into the draft before letting Freo just walk all over us. Perhaps he might come to his sense and sign on another term if a deal can’t get done.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
