    Heard David Zita say we were driving the narrative on this one.

    Freo should lend us their bus driver hats..

    This stuff does my head in and just reinforces the narrative around the media and MFC. Im sure there is some truth to what he says, but i find it rather amusing that the media fail to represent this point around Kozzy to Freo and especially the Oliver to Geelong. I mean if there was ever a case to mount around the clubs trying to shape the narrative they both are contenders as they have dominated the trade headlines over the past 12 months.

    Sorry but I hope we don't chase him. He hasn't really gone on & got much better since he left us.

    Wrong has still been very good for the period and remember that at 23 his best years are just commencing.

    Salary of $900 is worth it IMO as there is no doubt he would make our midfield brigade a much better X factor unit plus people are forgetting he is the perfect replacement for Maxy in1/2 years and relishes responsibility.

    That $900 will look slim when Maxy retires and Dogga helps train another ruck recruit.

    I'm always amazed at this time of year when discussing player trades, we fall into the trap of only looking at player and draft pick swaps between the two clubs in discussion. If we want Jackson, I'd expect a more complex trade with, for example, two of our fringe players ending up at two other clubs for a couple of second round draft picks which we then on-trade to another club with another of our fringe players for their first round draft pick. Then we have something we can go to Freo with.

    Not specific to Jackson but I love a bit of misinformation coming from our club aimed at other clubs.

    It’s about bloody time!

    Well, we should be able to get this done easily as we have heaps of fringe players at Casey, but would any team want them?

    I think as a group of fans we tend to overrate our own a little. Until they can show something at senior level or a specific elite trait at the VFL level, players like Woewodin, Laurie, Jefferson, Howes, Adams, Verall, Sestan, Mentha, Brown, Henderson, Johnson, Kentfield, AMW and Culley have no trade value. That’s not to say they won’t make it as AFL players, it’s just that they are unproven.

    Spargo,Billings, Hore & Sharp also would limited appeal.

    If we are looking to trade out players with market value, we’d need to be prepared to say goodbye to a Premiership player like Fritsch and or one of our more fancied youngster’s like JVR.

    It’s not ideal but could be done if required.

    Really do believe JVR is part of the future here, and he seems to be invested. I reckon his form will pick up, he's just a kid.

    Agree, he is 22. Most 22yr old forwards arent the number 1 forward at a club, nor at a club that is notorious at long bombs when this kid wants to run and flay at the ball, not wrestle and have it bombed on him.

    This may not be his year but he will get better and come back a very good player.

    Freo has destabilized us twice with Jacko and Kozzie and didn’t seem to be overly concerned about us.

    Whether we get Jacko or not, I also am happy for us to destabilize Freo for a season.

    • 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?
