    I believe the pies are paying $300k of the $1mill a year... so nothing has changed on that front it seems. If we get him fit, paying $700k for an elite ruck is a bargain even at $750k.

    Not really when you're already paying another elite ruck north of that amount. $1.5m+ out of a $13m salary cap (11.5%) to two ruckman who can't really play elsewhere is lopsided list management.

    Yes but, “Trader” OD. If you’re gonna bag an ex player at least spell your insult correctly.

    Deal done. Pick 27.

    No suggestion of later pick swap/slide.

    Only question is how much of his salary they'll pay.

    You mean we didn’t slide to pick 16 for 13 & 27, but but the Demonland naysayers said we would

    Gawn’s contract may well have been loaded differently.

    I don’t think you can ever truly evaluate the list management of a club unless they are having a fire sale, or unable to sign key players. To be fair we have a lot of our best players on long terms contracts. We would have known Jackson’s value and offered him an amazing deal. He wanted to go home so we spent that money on a dual All Australian. To be in the position to do that reflects well I reckon.

    What's wrong about that WCW! Only joking. Suddenly the accuser becomes the [censored].

    Love getting one up on the Pies. Makes up for that terrible Kennedy and pick 29 for Howe trade.

    Well that feels a bit better if we can get Max and Brodie superfit look out 2023 and beyond. Just need that extra big forward and backup ruck and we will be on a roll.!!!

    Quite funny isn't PSD. IMO we have done quite well in the trade period. Got overs for Jackson and paid Unders for the bun.

    Even so, he wouldn’t be a trader. Rather, he’d be a tradee, no?

    That's true although there is clearly one gaping hole that usually takes plenty of dollars to fill.

    Looking forward to 2023. Of the $$$ is what is mooted this is great value.

    Gawn won’t ever be AA ruckman again and that’s ok. If he can kick 30+ goals and allow us to kick to the top of the square then great. Let’s fashion a fwd line around that.

    The last big man we traded in from pies was Dawes for pick 20. I have a feeling this might be a more solid trade

    But we were set on doing that anyway with Jackson. It worked ok in 21. Fingers crossed it works again.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
