Farewell Luke Jackson

Lucifers Hero

It’ll be 13 and their future first. Can’t see how freo trade into the top 10. 
if we end up with Grundy, 13 and a f1 in exchange for Jackson and 2 round pick I think on balance that’s an ok outcome.

In terms of freo and Peter bellend I’ll be joyfully death riding freo first rounder. I can’t think of anything more satisfying that watching them tank next year. I won’t be surprised if they miss finals and we end up with a top 10 pick anyways.

    I'd be heavily pushing for Norf's 2023 2nd rounder (probably pick 19?) to be included

    Have we surpassed the length of the Hogan thread yet?

    Feels like it. Was that the one where the biscuits discussion came about during the lull in trade period?

    That sounds vaguely familiar. Just checked and the page count on Hogan currently stands at 484 :blink:

    Did Luke or his mum say "no"? 

    Would have been mummy. Jackson doesn’t have a set & wouldn’t be able to speak his own mind.

    Honestly, Freo can GAGF. They've been courting Luke for ages, and now just expect us to accept unders. Get stuffed

    Freo are douchebags. This is eerily similar to what happened with Hogan in 2018. We wanted two early first rounders, Freo wouldn't budge. We ended up accepting "unders" of pick 6 (May) and 23 (Sparrow). May alone helped get us a flag and Sparrow looks like he'll be a 150 gamer. Freo got two dud years out of Hogan then offloaded him to GWS for a fourth rounder - and now he's rediscovering his best form again with the Giants. Hope the karma bus hits them again. Would be great if they tanked it next year and that future first became a top 5 pick.

    I’m so over Freo being twats about this, they know they are getting a future superstar, possibly 200+ game legend but what they are putting up is saying “meh he’s alright”. Pull you’re F-ing fingers out and do a proper deal that’s befitting the deal they have put in front of LJ. 

    I know this is irrational but I’m at a point where I’d rather him go to WC for nothing than end up at Freo with them being such fI0gs about it. 

    Offer up next years 2nd rounder and I’ll take the deal, I wish (I would hope) we did some research on their list to try to find players that we could poach for this deal to happen. Is there no Melbourne born players on their list that we could get them to hand over as a deal finaliser?

    In all honesty what leverage do we have? Hope Peter Bellend does the right the thing and pays fair compensation? Good luck with that

    Luke just has to threaten to resign with MFC. The fact that he is mingling with the Freo players already is just unprofessional.

    He should have stayed here until the deal was signed and be seen getting photographed with documents in hand leaving MFC HQ.

    The guy is a peanut and despite his best intention is just as responsible for contributing to this colossal f up of a situation. 

    Hope Viney runs straight through him at the centre bounce.

    We could've held Hogan to his contract though so it's different. There was an element of us wanting to get rid of him.

    That's the thing. We've got nothing to stand on here. WC haven't put up an offer to us, they haven't even convined LJ to join them. 

    If this trade gets done it's going to be us who cave, because we're not going to let him walk to the PSD for nothing. 

    Everyone knew he wanted to go home last year. He should have requested his trade then right after his grand final performance where his value was at its highest. Fremanlte had pick 6, 8, and 19 last year.

    Honestly, I'd be comfortable with slightly 'unders' compared to what many people are anticipating.

    2022 and 2023 first round draft picks, some salary cap offload which will help a lot in future, and a good mood all round.

    Fremantly will give him a fairly long contract on big money at the end of which he'll ask to be traded back to us in 5 or 6 year's time when Gawn retires.

    It’s a fair point, again you can only hope that the club spoke with him to see what he was thinking. Now let’s keep in mind this is a very young man still working out who he is but if he had an inkling that he would want to go home it seems massive own goal on our end not to push the deal then and there. 

    I don’t any Melbourne fans would’ve begrudged it as well as we still would’ve been riding the premiership highs.

    They had Cerra as well. He would have been included in the deal for sure

    Jacko would have said very little to us directly. The agents are the mouthpieces so as to deliberately obfuscate true intentions

    Honestly it's not as simple as looking the bloke in the eye - it's all very guarded

    Yeah much more to play with last year. Cerra as well.

    I still think the trade may end up being Freo's 13, Freo's 2023 1st and North's 2023 2nd. Then we might try to flip 13 and North's 2023 2nd, to go up the order.

    Yes but if we just got everything we wanted we'd all be barracking for Geelong. 

    There is solace in the fact that Freo have and probably will never win a flag.

    Him only signing 1 year after his initial contract was a red flag. Almost all draftees sign 2.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
