We were going to draft him.

Geelong traded up by a spot.

Restricted out of contract.

Don't know our cap sito, but if we have space, throw the cheque book at him.

    IF WE HAVE SPACE!

    We could sign LeBron James to a super max extension this off season I reckon.

    Apparently Holmes cracked it being left out of their grand final side a couple years ago

    Do clubs really trade fair value

    We got nowhere approaching LJ's worth and if Petty goes we might get a high second round.

    Don't know much about Holmes... what is he worth (both pick and salary)

    The answer would be a resounding no based on the recent Grundy trade.

    We received a couple of mediocre picks in exchange for making a top 8 rival considerably stronger.

    Its a part of doing business. When you lose one you get unders, when one chooses to come your way you do better. If you work free agency to your advantage (in and out) you'll end up in front.

    “Nowhere approaching LJ’s worth”?

    You don’t think two first round picks was ”approaching” it?

    No

    when given the picks were both expected to be around 14. Luck made the second year pick higher

    He was a pick 3 21 year old with proven high level skills. His $1M salary put him in the top 20-40 salary wise in the league

    Not saying we could have done better but we got nowhere near his future worth

    Jefferson in 2022 for example shows that pick 14/15 doesn't equal Jackson

    Been thinking this a long time after it was highly public Geelong usurped us.. pace is big plus and would suit our mids given he’s more outside overall but can win it inside as well..

    This.

    We paid nowhere near Grundy's market value to get him to us. The fact we completely @#$%^& it up is a different issue. We also picked up BBB for a song and got Langers for a set of steak knives.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
