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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
