    Understand that JNM, but Meek was traded the next year so he was gettable at some stage and he also went to a club with a huge young ruckman, so Max wouldn’t have put him off possibly and we might have then saved the embarrassing Grundy fallout.

    I would love to know if we rated either player and if we even asked. My gut feel is we didn’t rate either of them and that if true worries me considering our last few trades.

    I am wrapt in Caleb and was since his first practice match but i was talking if a player in addition to the picks we got.

    We could have said we would deal with WC to get the deal done, but i know, spilt milk.

    It just annoys me when I see the players traded into other clubs succeeding.

    GuessIi am just a cranky old Dees fan.

    Jackson refused to deal with West Coast, so it’s a moot point. 
    As for Meek it’s possible that they said it’s Meek and a second rounder and we decided that a first round pick was better than Meek. Which it is. 
     

    They were never trading Treacy. It’s like if they came to us and said here’s Brayshaw but we want JVR. You’d tell them to go take a long walk off a short pier. 
     

    Understand your frustration but just look at Pies overpaying for Shultz and that’ll make you feel really good 😂

    What about my outrageous idea of trading him at the end of season 2021? To force a deal with WC.

    As mentioned beforehand there were huge red flags that he was departing anyway. 

    Thanks for the premiership, you may go home now. It would've been easier to leverage his last year under contract.

    My understanding is that LJ indicated that he was happy and keen to stay after the 2021 flag. And in fact up until midway thru 2022 he never said he wanted out. 

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing tho. Especially when it comes to trading and drafting.

    On 11/08/2024 at 16:50, whatwhat say what said:

    his knee clearly limits his mobility from time to time - it bothered him all the way through the back half of 2022 and seems to crop up and bother him every now and then over the last two years

    he would still suit our game style perfectly; it's such a shame he left, more so than hogan

    i believe we got more 'value' for him than any other player traded in the afl

    i'm confident that jefferson and windsor - the players we effectively received for him - will be players for us for some time

    i wish him all the best, but i hope dog never tastes premiership success again

    Haha I love this! You wish him all the best for the future except for another flag! 

    Exactly how I feel about him.  He was a selfish Dogga without loyalty.

    He was and still is overrated.  He can be good sometimes, but never consistently.  It's clear in some games he can't be bothered his @rse.

    Nothing but an oppo player to me now too especially after his smarminess in the whippings they handed us this year.  

    I wish him all the best for a career of mediocrity and underachieving because he's lazy and doesn't feel like it. 

    Sorta like after a bad breakup in youthful days with somebody who's ditched you.  I don't want anything terrible happen to him, just for him to totally go to seed and get bald and fat and not be really successful and happy. 

    Then whenever you bump into him you can see that he's full of regrets about ditching the best team and fans and missing the good times and his prime that have now past him by. 

    Delicious Schadenfreude, hopefully he meets us wearing a premiers beanie, 2025 or 2026 or thereabouts in the near future.  Sooner than Slagmantle anyway.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
