there were a few considerations around the Gus deal, our intention last year was always to re-sign both though. i think the difference is there is a possibility we have to pay slightly more than we'd ideally like in order to keep Kozzie, where as we would have paid LJ whatever it took i suspect to keep him 

Agree thats why they didn't announce the Gus deal until they were pretty sure Jackson was leaving.

    Because of the size and scope of a potential kozzie contract, and the reality he'd be our clear priority, we simply wouldn't make this move unless we had a level of certainty around what Kozzie is likely to do. 

    If we didn't have a clear idea what that contract was going to look like, we'd be holding off on any major extensions as long as we reasonably could. 

    Interesting. 

    I had the polar opposite thought to this personally, but how are we to know..

    Interesting timing given the pitch to keep Kozzie is this supposed to be during Gather Round

    Not that it means anything to anyone, Rivers from the day he started was my favourite ‘non star’ player. I’m wrapped.

    GO DEES!!!

    That could of course work both ways, we know what we need for Kozzie and others or, we know Kozzie is leaving and how much we have for others.

    Anyway great news about Trent and he continues his improvement and versatility.

    Come on Kozzie and JJ, let’s make it a fantastic trifecta of Demon contract extensions.

    I only just saw Sunday’s game this morning, and I was thinking he’s really coming on as a midfielder,  and it would be great to see him re-sign. Then I saw this news.

    JvR mentioned in a previous interview that Rivers had led the WA boys in their training programme over the break too - leadership potential. 

    The fact that he and Jackson were best mates when they arrived is just a sweet cherry on top. Really happy with this signing!

    To me Trent Rivers has always had a committed look about him, when you watch Momentum, Sound the Alarm and the Granny shots he was living the dream and I’ll never forget when he went up to Lyon after the game with the cup in his hand saying that we want to do this again next year (despite Gazza calling him Jordon). Pure joy and one of the team.!!!

    JJ is a utility

    ...and a very useful one at that ... has all the necessary skills, reads the play well (now)... pacey and does not shirk the issue - rebounds and goes again ... very good kick / passing / handball ... the mobile utility is a necessary feature of our forward line who are so often geographically minimal ... capable of some surprising moves, dodges and outside innovations. Works really well with Fritta, Chandler, Sparrow (coming in), BBB and why not : JVR bringing the ball to ground forward of the defensive pack. JJ has heaps and will produce bucketloads of talent as he develops, just like Rivers and Judd.

    Unflappable is how I like my stoppers.

    Yes we certainly don't want any flappable stoppers.

    That's not the case, Riv for all his qualities isnt on a fat enough contact. If kozzie doesn't sign we get another player from somewhere like we did for Hogan, Jackson etc

    You wouldn't want your wings to be unflappable.

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • 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.
