I hope SWYL doesn't read this post.

He thinks we only won the flag because Jackson played the best quarter of footy in living memory, and that he's going to be the best player of all time.

On a side note, Nathan Buckley on SEN has urged us to ask for Griffen Logue  in return and thinks he could significantly improve our forward line next year.

We all loved that period in the Grand Final and not every player can produce that. I don't want to see him go because I do think he will be something special but we do have to be honest: How often do we see the flash in the pan performance that a club gets sucked in to and it turns out to be a total bust of a decision? I'm not saying this will definitely happen but there is a chance that it could. Selling while the stock is high wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

    I heard that Dogga really wants to stay, but Naughton, Gunston, Josh Kennedy and Griffin Logue will push him out.

    100% on board with this.

    It's so easy to be romanticised by the brief, bright sparks. 

    Don't get me wrong, Dogga  may very well develop into what he is being touted as, but he may not - and in any event it's all moot, because if he wants to go home and this is not where his heart is, or we have to throw everything we have to keep him, which will mean we're missing $$$ to keep some of the other pieces of the puzzle, then it's not worth it. It creates friction in the team, and leads to the kind of mentality on show by May earlier this year. Everyone has a role, and everyone needs to play that role, week in and out to make this dynasty we speak of. 

    We're not far off a perfect side. Aside from smarter delivery i50, we need to look for a forward or two, or at least someone who can play up forward, like Logue.

    If you need an example of an outstanding performance by a player that subsequently doesn't go on to deliver what was then expected, look no further than Weid in a final a few years ago.

    Good point.

    I genuinely thought Weideman was going to be the one of the best up and coming forwards in the game after that 2018 finals series..

    I see that BBP is using my name in a post again. I have him on ignore so I only see his odd ramblings sporadically. 
    The poor boy must have been sitting on the can during the 3rd Quarter of the GF and missed the complete and utter obliteration of the Bulldogs. He will not give LJ any credit for that work. Sad really, but not something i lose any sleep over. 
    Now if Luke decides to go home I will be disappointed, but it’s not the first time players have left us. We will have a plan B in place by now. 
    Get the maximum returns for a 20 year old, who is yet to reach anything like his potential. Screw the Bastards as hard as we can and get talent back this way. 
     

    and please BBP do not use my name without prior permission

    You are not worthy

    Why does everyone on here care if he goes.He had an influence in one fantastic quarter of the final and not much since then.I would rather have jack watts,he could run like the wind 6.5 tall could mark and kick.None which i have seen from jackson this season.By the time he reachs his so called potential we will have won 3 or 4 flags while he suffers in a Freo rebuild

    I can also confirm that information as I was driving the furniture removal truck. 
     

    I cannot disclose the contents of the truck because Luke made me sign an NDA.

    The doors aren't high enough for LJ to step through ?

    Surely you don’t buy a house then move your parents in with you at age 20…

    Is this a good sign?

    It is my understanding, although not yet confirmed, that Mel had corn flakes for breakfast this morning. Obviously has large ramifications for the developing trade situation, and I will report back as this story unfolds.

    Your source is different to mine. Since moving to a more affluent suburb, Mel was seen ordering bircher muesli and a soy latte at the local cafe. ET, maybe able to shed more light.

    The important part in all this is the fibre in the diet.

    I firmly believe Luke is going, but isn’t it funny how a meeting with player x means player y is not only leaving, but also going to a specific club? If LJ was going to the Eagles would we not have met with Brodie? I’m confused.

    I’d kill for Taylor Harris in our current forward 50. She knows how to compete in the air, and is a ripping kick.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
