Reports that Tarryn Thomas could be keen on a change of scenery. His skillset would compliment our midfield group perfectly

Iโ€™d be keen to see Thomas in. Feels like another that didnโ€™t necessarily get the right support around him this year (with personal issues). Think heโ€™d go well at Dees and have a couple of roles he could thrive in. Was tracking really well before this year.

What are his kicking skills like?

From the little i have seen of him he seems to be a good kick, but i haven't watched him enough to really assess him.ย

If Lobb isn't traded to a Vic team he will sit out for a year and claim mental health. He's already transitioned his life to Vic and requested a trade in successive years.

Will be interesting what happens with him after he sits out of the game for a year. Would Vic clubs still be keen on him at his age after a year on the sidelines?

Dogs taking Liam Jones might indicate theyโ€™d get Lobb in a year. If their young talls still arenโ€™t ready. Personally canโ€™t see Lobb taking no cash or Freo taking nothing for him.ย 

We could offer Freo one of our not very good talls if theyโ€™re so desperate for an ageing tall who doesnโ€™t want to be there.

Perfect target for us. He's a smooth mover with good skills, would fill half forward flank or outside mid role nicely. He's young still too so would fit with our list. With a fresh environment and good preseason, he could be a real weapon next year onwards. Go knocking Dees!

Levers CV was nowhere as good as Jackson

It was nearly identical besides the flag. ย Lever was there 3 years, played in the GF, probably Adelaideโ€™s best player on the day and was the squad of 40 for the all Australianย 


You'd have to feel for Lobb - requesting a trade 2 years in a row... must be difficult to work hard for your employer week in week out as a by-product.

Pies are getting rid of a promising key fwd to the Cats in Henry and an AA ruck to us while paying part of the salary

They are bringing in Frampton and McStay.ย 

List better? Hell no

Why on earth do people keep referring to Henry as a key forward?!? Doing my head in

He's a lively 187cm fwd/swingman with spring and goalsense - no more a key forward than Fritsch and really a prime build/skillset for a good modern mid

Does any other club spend so much energy trying to appear to play hard ball throughย the media?

Whatโ€™s the point? He wants to go. Let him go and get a good deal done that suits you. Itโ€™s weird.ย 

So we talk to WC, Jackson has done us the favour of not announcing a club, just a city. If weโ€™re looking at a Future first Iโ€™d say WC will finish lower than Freo so thatโ€™s better, if WC split their pick two then we do Jackson for a pick inside the top ten this year + WC FF + WC second round which we trade for Grundy.ย 

ย 

We need a Tarryn Thomas thread, would hope we would be speaking to his manager if he is on the move. Could be a great pick up

This came up on my FB page. We are dealing with the club that has the lowest to offer us for LJ. Where as WC have so much more in draft capital.ย

Spot on. And given his forward pressure is awful Geelong will probably make him work for a game on the wing or half back before unleashing him as a goal kicker anyway.

Big loss for the Pies, but theyโ€™re losing guys who arenโ€™t in their 22, and McStay fills a far more important need. Ash Jonson is a better version of Henry and teams generally down play 2 medium goal kickers.

And the other 3 theyโ€™re bringing in will cover gaps as Howe, Pendles and Sidebottom age out. All very cheap and capable, smart recruiting.

High quality user by foot. Likes the physical stuff and was right up there in f50 tackles last year and good at winning the ball at stoppages. He and Tracc rotating between mid/fwd would be terrific.

Alternatively could play out of defence for us too.

The problem with Lobb is that his deal was so heavily front ended that there is not a lot of value in Freo trading himย

Thomas looked like he could be Shaun Burgoyne 2.0ย  in 2021 and kicked 24.17 and averaged 18 possessions. This year he was hopeless and looked mentally all over the shop.

He definitely has the potential be a good pick up and suites our needs well.

WC have just announced they want Jackson, so now we are dealing with the club with the highest draft capital. 2, 26 and a Future first gets it done. Or if they want to split 2 to get another top ten pick to trade to us thatโ€™s good too.

They will never agree that - thatโ€™s laughable. Two top 4 picks and one on the 20s.

They are in it as much to say that they will take him in the PSD if he is there I reckon.

We would do well if we could get pick 2 from wc for Jackson and be doneย

They wonโ€™t do it with 2 of course but theyโ€™re open to split it to get it done. Get a top ten pick if WC split, + FF + 26 for Luke and 42.ABDE49EE-0FFD-4A8F-B486-E10A08043BE8.thumb.png.11930647f6a569ddfa2c700647cac6f0.png

Oh right, I didnโ€™t realise. I watched him play once and he was marking everything but ended up with 5 behinds or something similar. Knows how to find the ball for sure

toumpas 2.0

Rubbish Even Toumpas would ย look and perform satisfactorily with Trac Clarry Vines and Gus giving him the ball.ย 

Has much more pace and run than Toumpas and would fit in as a runner in our slightly one paced match winning mids brigade.ย 


I'd be chatting to the Lionsย 

Bundling a few picks in the second round for their pick 15 to help with points.ย 

i also think the Dockers will end up trading Lobb to the Dogs for a deal involving pick 11 for Lobb and something, then 11 and 13 to us for Jackson

I'd be then bundling pick 11, 13 and our future first to the Eagles for pick 2 who are keen on teens picks to access W.A players and pick 20 coming back to us as well and forwarded on to the Pies for Grundy.ย 

So essentiallyย 

Out: Jackson, 2023 first round

In: Picks 2, 15, Brodie Grundyย

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: โ€œThen came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.โ€ Today, weโ€™re back in the same place although oneย difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, โ€œIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, โ€ฆโ€ย  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
