    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.

    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.

    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.

    Again, he won’t be again. He will be FF moving into the ruck.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
