Rucks are becoming less important in the modern game. Many coaches don't care too much about the ruck, they're happy to break even. I don't read replies or reactions

I’m just happy we are destabilising freo for once: they’ve been coming after our players ever since Jeff White.

how ironic that we’re gonna be drafting kalani this year as well. Having dogga and max to guide him while he develops is gonna be absolutely massive.

Ever Since Steven Tingay...

The problem is if we can keep Kozzy, we might have to package up one or two of our WA boys...

I'm not sure how this gets done if Kozzy wants to stay.

Future first and one player perhaps?

Maybe I'm completely blinded by nuffie glasses, but I'd expect if Pickett for Jackson was the start, we'd also want quite a buit more in addition.

This part is the nuffle glasses taking. Straight swap is probably the expectation.

Kalani is a defender first before a ruckman. I think he’d be a suitable replacement for May.

We all know that in 4 years time when we still have f50 connection problems, we’ll have a thread to move Kalani up forward and blame Goody when he refuses to pull the trigger.

Freo will be praying he doesn’t speak to reporters

He makes Clarry sound like Stephen Fry

 

People thinking Freo don’t need Pickett are missing something. Imagine having a Pickett forward and a Pickett in the middle rotating with the Pickett forward. Sheesh, 18 Picketts would do me

If there were a mid season trade period, it'd be interesting if both clubs would pull that trigger.

The club will continue to prioritise keeping Kosi above all else. And so they should.

Kosi should not come into the conversation whatsoever, if we feel there is even a small chance he will be happy to stay put. He is far too valuable to just offer up for a player who clearly has a strong desire to not only move back to Victoria, but who is pretty set on the idea of playing for us. That doesn't happen often, and it gives us more leverage than it does Freo.

Also wonder how Kosi will feel, knowing that if he goes to Freo, he all but makes his cousin Dudley a fringe player. Hard to see how Freo plays all 3 of Dudley, Kosi and Bolton, plus Reid and Walters. It just doesn't work.


Trade Clarry for a F2 and get rid of 90-100% of his salary

Mcvee, JVR & F1 for Jackson

Free Agent- worpel & Allen

Instantly back into flag contention with another pre season under the belt of our high end youth core.

Yeh, just found it interesting that in this thread we're asking for a sweeter in the deal but Freo fans are wanting us to chuck in a first rounder as well.

Enjoy the different club based perspectives on it.

If in the event both players want to be traded I assume the value of their contracts will decide who has the greater trade value. Both clubs will be aware of the amount each player is willing to accept at a new club.

Ive said it thousands of times. We haven't had an x-factor, match winner/match turner for decades and Kozzie is all that.

Jackson fit with our list well and was recruited for that reason but I'd want three Jackson's for Kozzie.

langford? 7 games in and 3 bog's already he is that guy

i would like to see jackson, treacy and a pick maybe for jvr, kosi and mcvee/woey that then frees up a spot down back for sestan and or adams also that only leaves us needing a small forward everywhere else on the ground is solid


We need to work out away of keeping kossi, and getting Jackson back, offering 2 future first plus a fringe player( maybe Mcvee ) would be the perfect outcome.

I reckon we offer Michael Hibberd and our second round pick to Geelong in exchange for their first round pick. While Hibbo is no longer on our list he is 35 years old and I reckon Geelong might go for it.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it still make a sound?

flagmantle supporters - dogga is worth more than pickett!

mfc supporters - pickett is worth more than dogga!

non-involved parties - who cares, just pass the popcorn and put peter bell on trade radio

Just read the trade wrap on Fox footy website that still says

Oliver and Kosi goes and Dogga stays.

FFS - Dogga has all but confirmed he’ll request a trade and “he stays” while all our boys are keeping quiet and “they go”

23yo Ruck/Fwd kicked 43 goals over the past 2 seasons

Hit Out avg this year is >27 this year

Our list is crying out for LJ! We have recruited VFL and players not getting a game to try to fill the void like Fullarton and AJ - he would have a huge impact on our structure

In isolation (disregarding the Kozzi situation), this is a 'where do we sign' situation

Sorry can someone please explain these offield issues I keep reading about? Not sure we need another player with offield issues

Not those types of off field issues.

Family drama that can be resolved by, you guessed it, getting the hell away from said family.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week?
