Sturt’s got talent but he’s had a heap of injuries and clearly can’t pressure well enough to get games ahead of Freo’s 4 smalls or Bailey Banfield. Poor man’s Fritsch.

His 1 year deal tells me the Dees did the due diligence and weren’t prepared to offer 2 years. If we wanted him we’d have offered 2 years and had him as the steak knives to Jacko.

Now…Liam Henry on the outer. That has me interested

    IF Kozzie was thinking about leaving, bringing a mate over might help.

    Getting Liam Henry as part of the Jackson trade would be a good outcome, assuming we still get first round pick as well. Henry is very talented and could be a good quick skilled forward half player for us. Get him fit and happy and who knows what he could become.

    Does anyone have any idea when a decision is to be made by Jackson?

    I hope he tells the club as soon as possible but I hope the club keep it under wraps as long as possible. I hate the way trade talk takes away from the finals. It’s so unnecessary and unbecoming

    Pick 50+ is all we should give up for Grundy if Dogga leaves.

    If the filth need to salary dump to get other players and we are the only ones willing to pay a decent proportion of his salary, they should be expecting very little in return. If they want a first rounder for him, they should pay at least 50% of his wage.

    id stay well clear of any of their nqr’s, as recently it’s never worked out for the other party, only the filth.

    We had showed huge interest in his draft year.

    This makes sense.

    Sturt is 22 and played 5 games. How much interest can we have ?

    I think you're about to be left disappointed. 

    Most likely but it’s dumb to give up a first or high second for a player we don’t need (in terms of age and wages)

    It's assumed/rumoured that he will inform the club of his intentions during his exit interview, which I believe was today?

    Ok, it could be. Tom Browne mentioned it was today, could be wrong of course.

    Tbh you could be right too. I’m just going by what I’d read here and elsewhere, seems by Wednesday was the day, but could be earlier.

    Jon Ralph just spoke about Jackson. He said the club already knows and possibly announced as late as next week.  Apparently has been promised a hybrid Blicavs style role which appeals to him.

    With us or Freo, I’d happily see him play more as a mid, def could develop into that type.

    That is weird.  Blicavs plays ruck/midfielder/relief ruck. It looks just like the role he has at the dees. 

    Does J Ralph really think if that was what he wanted we wouldn't tweak the role for him.

    Promised by Melbourne or Freo?

    Freo, was on Fox "On The Couch". The panel chuckled and said "Blicavs is a role player - you'd pay a million a year for a role player".

    Doesn’t Blicavs tag these days?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
