Any posters who study the draft closely have any info on Cambell Chesser? I wonder if West Coast are in for Jackson if it’s someone we might enquire about. He’s been injured this year. I remember a lot of posters thought we would pick him with our first pick last year but I think WC picked him a few picks in front of us. 
Rookie me central says he’s strengths are 

+Speed, kicking, Class, Versatility, Outside run, Breaking lines. 
Sounds perfect for us and from Victoria too.  

 

Would love the Demons to snaffle Victorian Campbell Chesser!

Unfortunately he has signed until 2025 with the Eagles. So I can't see that happening unless the Eagles are serious about giving the Demons are better deal than the Dockers for Luke Jackson.

The only other player on the Eagles list who is a Victorian and would be worth looking at might be Bailey Williams?

 

Think we will get Grundy over the line for whatever we get for Bedford and pick 32.

Loos………..what, toilets?

Oh loose, right I’m digging you now

Anything with hang and loose needs to be treated with caution!

 

If Freo have offered us 13 and a future first then we can ask for the North future 2nd and in return give our future 2nd and throw in the Hunt compo pick. Heck, throw in a pair of 3rds.

I suspect we hold off and do it all in one go, but as long as there’s genuine interest in 13 (or Freo’s future pick) and the North 2nd for a top 10 pick we could make progress on it ourselves

I think that 13, Freo F1st and NthF2nd gets it done. I mean we could throw in the Hunt pick, we're not going to use it

Haha we can throw it in as a 20c piece for a tip!

If WC could do 2 for 5 & 7 with GC, I'd be happy to take 5 & 26 or 7 & 20 for Jackson.

Fremantle are really not very good at doing things are they?

FMD, just offer a fair trade and let's get this done. But nope. Instead, Bell starts by posturing and playing games.

Do they want to do any other deals this trade period or just [censored] around with Jackson?

He's sitting around in Perth going, so I'm going to Freo, right? Peter, I'm coming to you right?

Not too bad, bro!

Not so sure you understood that Jake played about half the later part of this season with injured ankle. That's th reason for his firm drop. 

Oh snd about 8/10 others were either banged up or come back from injury far too soon snd we're not fully fit 

Hence the fade outs!! 

2023 will have to change Goody playing players with injury !!!!

As nice as the high picks are... it seems like the players we'd most likely want (Sheezel, Cadman) would be gone by 5/7.  Who would we be getting with these players.

If Tarryn Thomas wants out, could it be used to snag him?

I think we want a pick inside 10 plus 13 or a future first, 2 picks in the teens regardless of what else they combine it with doesn’t help, maybe they should get bower and get pick 7 from GC then combine with pick 13 and everyone would be happy

If they’ve put the 2 firsts on the table they’ve started with a fair first offer. 

It’s always going to take time for either side to arrange the top 10 pick we need to sign off on the deal.

The Bowes deal gets pick 7 on the market, that’s probably our best chance. 

Actually, If Gold Coast weren’t stupid they’d have already traded pick 7 so they didn’t have to kick in so much with Bowes. But then they wouldn’t be Gold Coast

Also Jake missed about 15 games in 2018 (not sure in 2019 but was coming back from ACL) so out of 5 seasons he had a potential 113 games and played approx 80 games minus about 10 this season injured so say 70 injury free !

That's not a great average really day 14 games per season out of ave games of 22 per year. About only 2/3. 66% 

Cf Clarry and Trac who have missed about 3 each in one more seasons  games. 96% plus!! 

That's what I mean.

I think you take both picks and get someone in the top 5 to split. And get one of the KPFs on offer that way.

Agree with your sentiment about not playing injured players, but medicos have the final say, with honest input from players

Lever is as resilient as they come

7 is going with Bowes, who is only interested in Vic teams.

Point made is that his form in2022was nowhere near 2021 which injury had the Final  say.

Also  the 66% game rate is not great for a potential Captain. I like Jake and it's the only reservation about him ever being appointed Captain. Let's hope in the next 2/3 years he raises thst game rate to 85/90% and He would earn the right to lead us onto the field of battle and hold up another AFL Premiership Cup on that day in September.

Why are people arguing about Jake Lever’s trade price?

Not correct it's about his availability so far to play or play with injury of about 66% over 5 seasons and whether thats enough to be able to Captain the team in the future. 

Many Dees fans  have until last September the view that we paid overs for Jake. I believe the Flag justifies both he and Maysie's  high picks that enabled us to triumph on that great day. 

Perhsps another one ( or two) Flags ste needed to convince the still doubters among us!

Just heard on SEN that LJ has advised west Coast he is not walking through to the PSD. Still wants Freo but will not screw over his old club.

That narrows it down to Carlton, Collingwood, EssendonHawthorn, Melbourne, North, St Kilda, Richmond, Bulldogs, Geelong

 

West Coast would have to be favorites to secure LJ now you would have thought. I can't see a way Freo meet our demands without trading out a talented youngster

Freo could use Pick 13, and Pick 20 (NMFC) and their F2 to move into the Top 5 and then trade that pick with their F1 to us for LJ. 

Or as other have said they can just give us all the picks and we can get it done.

  • 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?
