I don’t think Freo fans will mind the talk of Jackson leaving if it allows them to get Kossie and Chad Warner. 

Trade and free agency period is another thing for another time. Right now I'm happy for any potential distractions to aid their 2025 cause.

    I would do that trade but would want a top 10 pick as well

    If we could do that, it would be a steal

    If Dogga came back, he can't have #6 back.

    I seem to have a thing for whoever's in #6.

    (Who had it before Dogga?)

    This would be profoundly immature and achieve what exactly?

    Take the spotlight off Kozzy. Its pretty obvious. 

    Clubs have a lot to do with leading stuff to the media. Collingwood re:Trac; Geelong re: Oliver and Freo re: Kozzy are all examples from last year. Its about time we grow a backbone and respond.

    I know the obvious would be to trade Kozzy. But to me i'd want something coming back our way given the size of LJ's contract we would have to take on.

    Alternative scenarios:

    McVee and our Future First for Jacko and Freo's 2nd. Throw in McAdam's for good measure. 

    Riv, JVR not for sale.

    Don't really get the logic there. The immediate thought from basically everyone was Kozzy for Jackson. If anything the spotlight is intensified.

    It's possible we leaked that we're courting him but that's totally different to just making the entire thing up. Like the Trac and Oliver stories last year were clearly not made up. You're also assuming that it's clubs leaking all this stuff and not the players representation or the players themselves.

    Jordan Lewis had it before Dogga and before JL, it was Chris Dawes.

    Grundy inherited the #6 from Dogga for one season before Windsor took over.

    I’d send Rivers off and keep knuckles, Judd is much more valuable in my eyes.

    I have a bad feeling Jackson has already been invited to house-sit for Bailey Smith.

    And I know he'll sign on the moment I mention this, but how about a clean sweep of trading for Jackson and grabbing Brayshaw in Free Agency.

    Next step is surely to start pumping out the gossip about Freo's culture. Possibly a falling out over the length of Shai Bolton's Wikipedia page. Seriously, there's more on Shai Bolton than Alexander Humboldt.

    I can definitely see that clashing with humble achiever Brayshaw.

    I get that, but if we think Kosi is gone LJ is better than any combination of picks we might get. Plus it would mean JVR never has attend centre bounces.

    lets see how those comments age 

    The comments may age terribly albeit they were made at half time in reaction to watching the boys bang on a whopping 15 points by half time in their first official match of the year while LJ was starring.

    I'm not as confident as others that we'll be a consistent finals team year in year out, but Jackson would be a great get.

    Such disrespectful language.  

    Sorry, if the choice was between trading McVee or Rivers, I’d keep McVee.

    This was in response to someone suggesting a trade of McVee

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
