    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.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
