Saw an angry Collingwood fan call him a 'trader' for leaving - enjoyed that one

 

Suck on that Pies. Hope you enjoy seeing your favourite son winning a flag next year

May will have two options from the kick outs now!!

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.

I'm liking OD Version 10.0.

Looking forward to seeing his first game for the red and the blue in person for once… 

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.

Adding word for context


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.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
