Wouldn't have thought a small forward would be high on their priority list given they had Bobby Hill, Jack Ginnivan, Jamie Elliott & Beau McCreery all playing in their GF team.

He's an upgrade on Ginnivan, Elliot is aging.

Makes complete sense.

Elliot is 31, Ginnivan is looking like he is not 1st choice , McCreery is avearge and a bad kick at goal. Bobby Hill had a great finals series but inconsistent.

I'd take schulze over all of the above @ the Dee's . He is a tough smart forward and just what we need, bummer he will end up at the filth

It’s not done yet, if I’m Freo I’m asking for 2 first round picks.

North would surely offer one of their end of first rounders if they could get him.

No reason for Freo to give him away a year early for anything but massive overs.

Once you put on that jumper you close the door to the Dees!

Freo really is a joke of a club though....

Is Jackson regretting his decision to leave us?.... wait a minute he's got 900k one dollar bills to wipe off his tears.

Honestly I don't think he even cares that much. He's just happy to be with his family

Interesting that 30mins ago Goldstein has been confirmed to make his way to the bombers but no confirmation on McKay. Think they were submitted at the same time.

Schulz a free agent next year, due to delisted free agency. What a mess that covid inspired exception is.

If I’m Freo I’m still holding him and expecting someone to pay end of first round money based on Doedee.

If it's pick 3 though they are taking that and running no? Adelaide didn't match doedee and got pick 19 straight away today. 

Maybe wishfully thinking but perhaps it's not band 1 like they hoped?

the problem with this is that players demand trades and pretty much always get their way

if clubs had the ability to trade players under contract where they so chose, he would - as you said earlier - probably be exchanged for one of north's end of first round compo-for-being-[censored] picks and he'd be there for a year before being able to sign wherever he wants as a free agent

the trade and free agency system in afl is garbage

It's borderline tampering with fair competition, just look at the JHF situation.

Trading players without their consent is terrible, they don’t make enough money for that disruption.

It’s a terrible system. There’s lots of better changes possible.

But clubs do hold players to contracts. There’s plenty who want to leave and don’t make it to trade week.

Freo can hold him or open up bids to everyone else if the Pies don’t come to the party. The nature of the family issues and the Pies keenness to pay up will probably determine if Freo budge.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
