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.

    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

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

    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

    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.

    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

    Not those types of off field issues.

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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
