Yeah, have to say it's a strange move from West Coast to begin with. 

Free agent. Doesn’t cost them any draft or player collateral.  He’s got genuine Pace to attack or use defensively. Suits WA conditions. Band aid solution for them whilst they start to rebuild.

    Yeah it's more like a proven stop gap solution to help them along in their rebuild even though it might not be long term.

    In other words, you've got no idea of whether he did have a contract offer earlier in the year. What's your source?

    If he's devastated with being pushed out, I doubt that it's true. And based on the compo pick we're likely to get, WCE aren't paying him huge dollars.

    None of your business where I get my information from.  Just because you don’t like what you read, doesn’t make it untrue.  So jog on buddy because you are the only person who has no idea.

    I mean if I had to guess I'd say he was offered a 1 year deal and West Coast are offering something like 3 similar to the Dean Kent situation? Just a guess.

    Good pickup by West Coast but sad to see him go, was a great servant to the club.

    Actually I asked about your source when you first said he was offered a contract and you never replied. So I to call BS and you can jog on. You would be better off to just fess up that you were mistaken.

    Was he? Jon Ralph 'On the Couch' a few weeks ago stated that the club had put a two year deal in front of Jayden.

    Well if that's what his source was just come out and say that.

    or he can keep his source to himself and keep providing information.  He has some form from the past and gets some inside info. if you don't want to read it either ignore him or block him but others like me want to hear it

    I totally agree, Layz. It’s always going to be about the club. And rightly so. I’m (almost) always v sad when a player leaves. I regard our players as like sons and I liken their departure from the club to them leaving home. Ordinarily it’s like when my (real) son left home and now lives in Footscray. But with Jayden it’s like when my other son - also real :) - left home and now lives in Warsaw. And no matter how many times this happens… 💔 It never gets any easier.

    What do you expect him to say "I'm Jason Taylor's brother-in-law*"?  Just accept that @Demons11 has some solid info from an anonymous source.

    * Likely to become accepted fact on DLand now, sorry  ....

    Completely agree and I said to Mrs Dw; Smith better be available for 23 games next season because that is who has pushed Hunt out. 

    This was always going to be a difficult year considering who was out of contract and the fact we need to find 3 draft spots every year. I will need some convincing that Melksham and Hibberd will  perform at the required level all of next season. To my mind Bedford might of signed for 3 years if Melksham was retired. Essentially we are granting a player one more year at the expense of a player we offered 3 yrs to and who is still very young and raw. Is giving an ageing player one year worth the potential of developing a young player?  

     

    We have enough open list spots already. If we delist Melky and Hibberd we are replacing them with picks 50 and 70 on 2 year contracts. Keeping them on minimum 1 year contracts as depth allows them to be delisted this time next year while pick 50 and 70 doesn't allow this option.

    Seeing as Lamb confirmed it I can now get the tissues out.

    When I signed up here I had Frosty and Hunt listed as two of my fav players. Love watching a bit of dare and dash even though the output was a bit inconsistent. 

    We'll always have that Torp

    At this time of year I am keen to hear any inside information even if it is from Bill’s cousin Jamila who overheard it at the supermarket so please keep posting those in the know and even those not in the know but are acquainted with Jamila.

    Ja też kocham Jayden 🥰 (I also love Jayden). Haha, Polish is a funny language, especially translating it, I was wanting it to be 'goodbye and take care' but 'hold on' has the same effect hehe. Hope Poland is treating your son well! 😊

    Hunt and Frost were two of your fav players??

    Whats your favourite stat? Clangers?

    Watching the footy must have been an act masochism for you.

    You would have loved the Neeld Era; we couldn’t hit a target…

    And so forth…

    They certainly are! In general, Poles LOVE Aussies. They think we’re exotic. Let’s let them believe it. 😁

    I left a heap of Dees stuff there a couple of years ago - tea towels, beanies, scarves, posters etc. - for my son’s father-in-law who’s sports-mad and who’d given me similar but for Legia Warszawa, his soccer team. He gave some of the Dees stuff to kids in a tiny village and apparently they are now Demons fans, albeit without choice.
    WCW promoting Aussie Rules in Poland. You’re welcome, Gil! Couldn’t be any more of a fail than the China thing, right? 🙃

    I love it when Posters on here demand to know a Source. 
    I was told on August 20 that LJ was definitely going, but why say anything, it wasn’t worth the hassle. 
    i was also told LJ loves the Demons and has no bad blood at all. 
    Trading is now a part of the game. We must get a good deal coming back 

    and no i will not reveal my source under any circumstance

    aha., Confirming I did not love the Neeld era.

    It's hard to explain, my first love is the game of Football (soccer).

    Guess they just reminded me of pacey wingers  taking on opposition players and marauding up the field. So I've got a soft spot for players who exhibit a bit of dash and dare. Find it entertaining 

    Also with Frosty you never knew what was coming so it was always exciting!

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
