    Freo will be praying he doesn’t speak to reporters

    He makes Clarry sound like Stephen Fry

    This makes me question what a woman 10yrs older is seeing in him. He seems nice but not the brightest

    Agreed

    FWIW Rhino is a good journo, so I don’t doubt he’s genuinely reporting what he’s heard from his sources

    But you’d be naive to think this is anything but an attempt to appease the club and kick the can down the road

    Houston said he wasn’t leaving and we know how that ended up… where there’s smoke there’s fire

    I'm not happy about it cos it means we'll lose Kozzy for nothing and get Jackson back for him who we don't really need considering Max is still the best in the comp.

    Just how many years do you think are left in Max??… I give him one or two (tops) as his body is starting to show the strain of pretty much carrying the entire team for so long. We are going to need a new number 1 ruck, and that sure as hell will not come from the next draft.

    If he goes there will be trouble.

    But if he stays there will be double.

    Dogga has 15 weeks left, plus any finals Freo make. He doesn't want to be booed for 15 weeks. That's all this is. We'll see you soon, LJ.

    It's May so of course they have to tow the line for now to kill the trade talk.

    In my opinion I think this is a huge watch this space.

    Unfortunately, with the lack of a first round pick this year, the only way I see this getting done is through the loss of one of Pickett/Oliver/Petracca.

    Hopefully our trading team have a few creative solutions in mind that don't involve the loss of any of the above.

    I think that his manager just pouring as much cold water as possible so it doesn't become a huge talking point throughout the season.

    I can see this becoming a huge distraction on Jackson on field.

    Worth noting that Ryan Daniels is famously a Freo propaganda journalist. He says whatever the club tells him to say. His words mean very little in the scheme of things.

    Might have to add Fritsch to that list.

    yep its the sort of thing you'd say once you have told the club you want to leave. It does mainly two things: 1) stops the speculation and constant distractions 2) tries to level the trade negotiations as a player wanting out is seen as a weaker hand.

    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

    Absolutely complete bollocks.

    The last club that could remotely be said about is the tigers back in 2017 and the blues sround the same time.

    Terrority is just too critical to not worry about the ruck.

    Why? Don’t we have future picks to play with?

    PR 101 for LJ

    He can’t play the whole season with people thinking he will leave

    Refute the claims Houston style

    But I reckon he’ll be with us next year

    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'm starting to come around to this way of thinking. I've long been anti-ruck, but I think you're spot on.

    Unless of course you bring +2 or 3 to the stoppage to out number.

    Overall I think rucks are overrated and the last three premiers have all had below average rucks in the grand final. Not saying the clubs didn’t worry about rucks though

    But I think rucks like LJ and TDK are incredibly important in the modern game. They are probably two of the most important players at their clubs and I would love either of them at Melbourne.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
