Freo’s pursuit of Jackson seems incredibly short-sighted to me. Freo are a young team with huge upside for the next few years. They’ve already shown that they can compete with the best teams and, personally, I see them as one of our biggest rivals over the next few years. Why you would want to jeopardise this - by forcing out players and forcing them onto smaller contracts - just to land one player in the infancy of their career is beyond me. Jackson doesn’t even fulfil a list need for them. Could be a culture killer if guys like Darcy feel like they’ve been taken for granted.

 

As of right now this is all hypothetical, but geez it makes you glad to have Tim Lamb and Jason Taylor at the head of our list management!

Agree.

It's a bit weird because I think their  biggest need, by far, is a couple of high quality big bodied midfield bulls to compete with the bontempellis, cripps and Oliver types.

And they don't really have an equivalent to extractors like viney and libba. 

Their other big need is one or two decent key forwards, particularly given lobb is likely to leave.

Jackson would have to improve his forward craft a fair bit to fill a key forward role. 

They have a number one ruck, and a bloody good one, in darcy. So what need would Jackson fill?

Unlikely i know, but maybe they are thinking of him playing as a mid?

Mundy is getting more of the ball than his career averages this season. Would not be surprised if Freo have made another monumental big name recruit stuff up like with Hogan and McCarthy.

Watching one of the footy shows last night the hosts (mighta been Lyon, Riewoldt and Brown) were wondering if Mundy has had his hand forced.

I had automatically assumed Mundy was pushed. Be very surprised if that wasn't the case. 

 

I thought Longmuir sounded incoherent in his pregame interview. Wouldn’t be surprised if the wheels are falling off. Here’s hoping the purple is becoming puce.

I'd say there may be some truth in that - Fyfe replacement of sorts

“I’m 37, i’m not old”

"Well I couldn't just call you man...". And in footy parlance, 37 IS old!

Seriously though, I don't understand at all why they would choose to not proceed with Mundy, but I will be glad if they do. He is one of those players who has destroyed us over the years (Paul Chapman and Andrew Embley are 2 others).


All I can say is, good luck to Jackson. 
The grass isn’t always greener. You have no idea how good you have it at Melbourne. 

Definitely not being assessed on merit, if it was, he’d be in the first three blokes picked.

With Fyfe playing minimal games they would be shooting themselves in the foot to get rid of him

Mundy to Gold Coast a la Hodge to Brisbane?

The talk is Lobb is leaving because of issues at the club. If true, things not looking bright at Freo.Hope Luke's getting all the inside goss, might help with his decision

Chris Scott will be chasing him to add some youth to his list.

If I was North I'd be going after him - tough to move across the country with a young family but for a couple of hundred thousand I'm sure he'd make it work

I'm not sure it would be a good move for North.

They have Cunnington due back in and he's their spiritual leader if you like...they need to blood kids in the midfield and they don't know whether he will get his spot back. Bringing in Mundy to take up another spot makes no sense.

Great player Mundy but doesn't bring a wealth of finals experience either.

They are probably better off chasing one of the older Tiger players...

Lobb is leaving because his partner wants to return to the eastern states. Nothing to do with issues at Freo

My view may be biased but Freo is setting themselves up to really [censored] the bed in their persuit for Jackson.

Forcing favourite sons to retire, giving up draft picks, letting good players walk.... This has Tim Kelly written all over it.

It makes you wonder whether they are serious about the business of winning a Premiership. Mundy is an awesome player and I'd still rate as among their best players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
