Hey guys a bit of sanity here please. Luke is a demon listed player and not a free agent. He cannot leave without our blessing. Freo need to trade for him and they will not have any sort of hand in the draft to satisfy our needs. The only danger would be that West Coast finish last and somehow talk him in to going into the draft. Aint going to happen, the kid has more loyalty than that. Wouldnt shaft the club that made him a premiership player so early in his career. We hold all the cards.

You do realize that sanity on demonland doesn't exist for some.

He can absolutely leave without out blessing lol..

He's out of contract mate. 

If he comes out and says he wants to go home then we cannot stop him at all. It's up to us and WC/Freo to strike up a deal that benefits both parties moving forward.

LJ to stay. We’ve given him more than money can buy.  A premiership.  Something he’ll always remember.  Sure he can probably get a million a year elsewhere but he’s bonded with so many at MFC. If we can get to $750k a year over 5 years ($3.75m) that’s plenty of coin. If he leaves for more , that’s $$$cully-like

If he leaves it’s because he wants to go home. The money will not be much more. Let’s just ease up on the kid.

Fair enough. Go home factor always in play when you draft kids from interstate.  But I think players are staying more and more and it’s a relatively low rate of players changing for the “go home” factor these days. 


So just a question, maybe answered elsewhere, but when were we planning on turning this guy into a forward? After he signs? The cameos are not enough and I seem to remember from the Hell and Back/recruitment video stuff we were considering him as a forward? Is there some cunning 0lan to keep his value down?

Elite for a ruck below average for a mid and that’s the issue how valuable is an elite ground ball ruck when a mid does a better job every day of the week

This makes no sense. Doesn’t need to be elite for a mid. Just needs to have a ground ball advantage vs oppo ruckman, which effectively creates an out-numbering of mids (particularly for centre bounces).

No chance he is “below average” as a mid either.

Probably our most promising young player of the past 20-30 years (apart from Clarry):- and all most people here want to do is doubt him. Very weird.

You missed my point entirely. Of course he can leave but unless melbourne can negotiate adequate compensation the only way he can go is to accept a new mfc contract or into the draft which would mean that he most probably goes to west coast with freo having no chance. Westcoast will have a far better hand to trade than Freo. Either have faith in the kid having some sort of decency or our list management to sort it all out.

Well he is happy to stay and commit now!


Interesting timing re English

I'm wondering at what stage does LJ's non-commitment to a MFC future start to impact on the attitude of his teammates?

Gus hasn’t signed either.

I'm hearing positive things about Dogga staying for a couple of years

It’s positive to read that, thanks for sharing.

None I would suggest.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
