I didn't say he is homesick. As for wanting to play for Freo, I'd say that West Coast would find it harder to free up cap space in the short term to meet his asking price. And I'm sure Freo were in his manager's ear as a possible trade for Cerra.

There are a couple of factors in play as to why he wants to return to Perth. Neither of which involve the Melbourne FC. I'll leave it at that.

I have seen this BS before. Scott Thompson and his seriously ill brother. Load of krap

    do the Dees have trouble retaining our interstate talent? 
     

    Hoping Jackson stays but if not, let’s reset, demand 2 x 1st rounders ( get Aaron Cadman and Brayden George) and then get a 2nd Ruck/Fwd (like Haydn McLean) on less than 1/2 the money. 

    4 players over a 15 year period hardly says it’s an issue

    thats not many but we drafted a lot of duds before JT arrived so clubs wouldn't want to bring our players home anyways

    Norf or WC are our main competitors? 

    That's not the point.

    The main point is that we gain absolutely zero by letting him walk to the PSD. 

    How does that benefit the club?

    We are going to get SFA from Freo - wait and see

    Can you blame him/her

    people are getting a tad too demanding 

     

    Thanks for the mail D11

    I gather from recent posts thanking D11 that he/she has a record of providing good inside information.  Unfortunately such well informed posts are drowned in posts from people who know nothing yet post just as confidently and pretend inside knowledge.  For those of us ignorant (like me), I'd love to see a list of names of posters who have an established record of having inside information.

    Just like the BS that he'd already bought a house in Perth. You can believe what you like. I couldn't care less.

    Where is the fun in that Sue? Half the enjoyment of DL is working out who’s having a lend and who’s not. It’s called thinking for yourself. But as a general rule, until the Club confirms it, it ain’t yet real.

    Is our bet still on mo64?. Only problem is as Ethan Tremblay alluded to, I don't own anything, in fact I have no assets nor bank accounts in my name but I found a dollar coin this morning which I will put aside just in case.

    Is that an Australian Dollar or Zimbabwean Dollar?

    Problem with that is I don’t see us getting the two first round picks - prepare to be disappointed 

    Personally if Fremantle is his preferred I’d rather walk him to the PSD and Norf - why would we accept unders and make one of our main competitors stronger 

    Because we would get absolutely nothing in return which will hurt us even more.

    Steven Armstrong was delisted and Jimmy Toumpas was forced out.

    Completely two different scenarios.

    No chance GC let King go

    Dude - not being serious.

    I also can't see Dusty going to GC because he was drafted 2 years before Brandon Ellis and therefore they must be besties (as per the Age article)

    Which would you prefer, I do have a Zimbabwean half crown lying around somewhere.

    Hmm. I don't want to rob you of your last dollar. Let's just make the bet over our reputations on this site. In my case, that is probably worth less than a Zimbabwean dollar.

    No. In fact I think this comment is a bit of an overreaction SONS.

    In the 21 year period since Farmer has left we've lost, as you pointed out, 3 other players to back home.

    I think if anything that's a fantastic strike rate compared to the likes of Fremantle, Brisbane, GWS and Gold Coast.

    Cadman would be the dream get for me.

    Apologies DD36. I’m getting frustrated by the Jackson non signing. Becoming more likely he’s going home. As some know, I was very keen on Hayden Young as a highly skilled quarterback type player. And local. Jackson was a project and from WA, with go home factor always in the back of mind. But I saw the highlights and potential. Love JT for his bold vision and courage in picking Jackson. It proved a masterstroke and GF glory.  Really hope the kid sees his future at the Dees.

    All good mate, don't apologise. I think we're all frustrated, but it's the way it is unfortunately. 

    Goody didn't exactly sound confident either in his press conference unfortunately.

    Steven Armstrong won a🏆with Wetcoke and kicked the first goal of the 2006 GF if my memory serves me correctly.

    Goodwin was confident on Brayshaw staying though.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • 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.
