Geez, tough offseason for Norf...

North should rightfully demand the number one pick for him. Anything less is a lose for them. The AFL need to do something here. First Jackson, now JHF. Murmurs about Pickett. The draft was meant to be a means to even the competition, not a nursery ground for homesick boys. North have every right to be pee’d off about this, the same with us and LJ.

    Gotta change the contracts for first rounder draftees. The top kids get drafted to the struggling clubs and want to leave straight away. A number one pick leaving after one season is not good for the game. 

    not much that can do unfortunately, he is still contracted

    I agree!

    can’t see them letting him go

    He's a gun for sure but his attitude needs to improve. It doesn't look like he has good people advising him

    judging from how unhappy jhf seems at north, i wonder if this could be the first time we simply see a player refuse to play for a year

    Cam McCarthy sat out a year before moving from GWS to Freo

    What a pea-heart this bloke is.  
     

    Things not looking rosey so he wants to bail. Hasn’t even been there 12 months.

    It’s already happened a few years back. Can McCarthy at GWS requested a trade to Freo in his home state of WA. It was rejected. He then returned to WA and sat out for a year. The next year he requested trade again and GWS traded him to Freo for stuff all. 

    Players hold too much power and it’s ruining the game.

    I reckon the Cam McCarthy trade is a cautionary tale for anyone thinking of going down that road. Looked a decent player early in his career but didn;t look the same at Freo. Sitting out the year was a bad idea i reckon

    these 1-3 year players tho...demanding trades after they've played less than 50 games! pfft...try less than 20!!

    Ssh, we may be interested in Finn Callahan, who we looked at in his draft year, but he went far too early for us and he was a Dees supporter.

    Whether there's any truth to the rumours or not, I can't see Port prying Pickett (say that three times fast) away from us if they plan to land both JHF and Rioli this off season.

    Probably no chance this year, unless we could add a player to Bedford and a good pick. Even that probably won’t get them interested, unless he could convince them he will leave next year.

    If we're not we should be.  I know from a GWS point of view he was offered an extension beyond the standard 2 years he signed as a first round pick.  He hasn't signed that extension...

    I wonder what it would take to get them interested, if we could get him interested. Bedford is a small entree, before the main meal.

    Bad for us if Freo were wanting to swap for Ports pick 8 with their pick 13 and acquired 20 pick for Logue

    Maybe we should help Port out and give them one of the first round draft picks we get for Jacko so they can package that up with their existing 1st pick to get JHF.    All we'd be looking for in return is Georgiades.

    We'll have more leverage next year when he's OOC.  I doubt he does a JHF and asks to be traded in-contract.

    I'm drooling at the thought of this. Was very impressive in his first game against us. Showed incredible poise and footy smarts way beyond his years. Can't see any chance this year with GWS likely losing Bruhn and Taranto but I hope we stick with it for '24. Would fit in perfectly on the wing.

    Probably correct.

    Maybe GWS are offering Finn as a salary dump for pick 5….. I hear his base wage is backend and they are up to their ears in salary cap issues re signing Hogan.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
