Freo don't have a top 5 pick. While they could trade up for a higher pick, we will lose value to achieve this.

Gold Coast fought tooth and nail to get a top 10 pick from Hawthorn for O'Meara and St Kilda did a great trade for them in order to broker the deal.

Conversely, the Cats took a number of lower picks from WCE for Kelly, which, in aggregate, added up to more than pick 1 in value and was a better deal.

I would prefer we take a collection of lower picks and let our brains trust work out how to push up or down the draft board. Brokerage is expensive in the AFL system.

Exactly the Kelly deal with the best parallel in recent years. If only Jackson would give us 1-2 more years we could work on a better deal. The reason cats were able to get that deal was wc had effectively 2 years to come up with the picks.

And Jackson knows that there is a lot of scum bag coaches out there who train their rabble to injure Max, and in turn he could have to play under.

Amazed some people are saying that they would accept Meek, Pick 14 and an early 2nd round pick for Dogga. He's 2 first round picks (at least one of which should be in the top 10) at a minimum. 

As others have said, if we can come away with Grundy, an early pick to get another young key forward and a developing young ruck and Brodie Grundy, then that's something at least.

Am I the only one that thinks WCE needs Jackson more then Freo does?

Always thought WCE would be his home but I thought they might wait until Nic Nat is closer to retirement.

Their ladder position this year puts them in such a great position that they may feel they need to move this year.What better use is there for picks 2 and 20 (?)

Money (salary cap) could be an issue but I'm sure it could be worked out

Sam Edmund on SEN today.

Luke Jackson (Melbourne)

“West Coast believe they’re still in the hunt for Luke, so we cannot rule out the Eagles.

“Fremantle are seen to be the frontrunner there, that might still be the case, but the Eagles maintain they’re still in the race for the WA-born ruckman.

“Luke Jackson’s gone, let’s just state that as fact.”

As I posted on the trade thread, it's only a fact when he's gone Sam...

Opinions on 'protocol' please.

Should supporters boo a player at age 22 when he returns to play your team, after he has helped land 2 premierships and chooses to go and be employed elsewhere?

Yeah I'm torn what to believe.

History will say when you've put contract talks until the end of the season then then points to you being gone.

Yet, I see how invested and happy here is around the boys still and it gives me a glimmer of hope. Unless he's announced to teammates internally and they've made the decision to accept and still embrace him as a teammate until we're done this year.

And if so... how's THAT for loving and supportive culture. 👌

Agree, NicNat in for more knee surgery. He's fat, probably because he can't train.

I think the determining factor for people who go the boo will be whether they feel we are fairly compensated.

Be filthy if he goes but don't believe in booing premiership players

Agree dazz', I think he's a good kid and would love to keep him.

At least he's invested in the now which is great.

The rest will sort itself out in time.

So when do we think Dogga announces he is staying? Media know [censored] all.

I sort of hoped / felt that he made the announcement in the first Q v BNE.

in the week after their last game.

He's already decided ( no matter what he says) so he will just get it done.

I speculate he's really sure now  which may be what he played so well against Brisbane.

Perhaps weight off his shoulders  even though it was pretty likely 3 months ago

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    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.
