Getting the OK to pay it as $400k per year for 4 makes it easy. Totally wrong for HQ to allow though.

Jeelong should honour the contract as it is. That’s what makes me f$&@ mad about this scam

Would we look at Brayden George for a pick in the 20's?

Just done an ACL, but a very talented player who kicked 11 goals in his first two NAB games this year.

185 cms and big bodied and compared to Tracc.

Let him have 2023 to rehabilitate and could have a very good medium forward.

Jeelong should not be in a position to be able to pay that money for a nobody player with their current list. 
It cannot be above board. 

Nobody will question it though, with the guy running the show down there being the ex AFL Operations Manager. They are kissed on the pecker down there and it [censored] me to tears. Great facilities all paid for externally, the Geelong Falcons as a quasi feeder team for ex players. The only Victorian club with a true home ground advantage. Even the [censored] Spirit of Tasmania leaves from there now.

The game ceased being a sport years ago and is a business and like so many businesses, there is corruption.

That said I was pushing for us to try and get him.

Fully understand, but the Clubs have to come down hard on this ruling

It is absurd that Jeelong can just say “Thanks, we’ll take that” after winning the Flag a month earlier

I assume/hope we're pushing for North's 2023 2nd round pick, traded to Fremantle for Logue, as the icing on top of the Jackson deal.

If we can get our hands on it, I think we'll try to trade it + Bedford for pick 15, held by GWS. Giants would be one of the teams more likely to push picks back given how many they'll have (picks 18 & 19 may also come under consideration). 

Bedford + 2023 2nd rounder tied to North (pick ~20) for pick 15 would value Bedford @ pick 56 - slight unders, but that's the cost of trading forward

This is 100% right.

Smoothing = cheating the salary cap. The only way a dump should be allowed is if the clubs split the pay to make up the full contract or the destination club takes on the full contract as is.

With Mitch Brown retired, Weid on the way out, JVR unproven, Ben Brown about to turn 30 and horribly out of form, Dogga leaving (OK he sucked as a forward but still).... and TMac's foot being no sure thing.... we really need to find a key forward insurance policy in the next few days. Surely we're not putting all our eggs in the Gawn basket.

With Hunt and Weideman going I wondered who the top of the list whipping boy would be.

Reading the first few pages of this thread we have the answer!

outs

1. Confirmed : Hunt - free agent to West Coast 

2. Sure bet: Jackson - trade to Freo or WCE 

3. Nearly there: Bedford - trade to GWS for likely 3rd round pick 

4. Possibly: Tomlinson to the Dogs, Weideman to the Bombers 

5. Fire put out - Harmes to the Bombers  

ins 

1. Grundy - definitely be a Demon in 2023 (strange but true)  … debating draft picks 

2. Smoke : Josh Bruce, Lachie Hunter

I got reliable info over the weekend that Lachie Hunter will be a demon next year with the doggies paying up to $200k of his salary.

Heard the same (without the salary part though), which is why I wondered if that could be the Tomlinson move potentially.

Hunter would be a nice addition, compliments our midfield group nicely.

Doesn't have the speed although he's an elite endurance runner but has great composure and use by hand and foot which is the main thing IMO. Hits great kicks that open up play and his release handballs are fantastic.

Could be a solid opposite wing to Langdon.

I agree with this. Have heard he is a bit of a f l o g though, that's my only concern.

Will be interesting to see how he falls into line with a game plan that isn't all out attack.

Hopefully we can find some ways to utilise his skillset

If you judge it as an entire wingers club and average it out with the amazing bloke that is Lingers then we have two decent blokes on the wings..

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
