I’m not mates with Ryan Daniels and I could’ve told you that. He’s spoken about it on his podcast.

apparently there are at least a couple vic clubs that are interested in Darcy, Carlton and Essendon being main ones. His contract is only in the 700s so I think they’ll be able to trade him and his contract out pretty easily

    You're probably right, but the talk about his family issues is 100% correct

    Stolen about 300k from him apparently. But Freo has every right to say too bad here’s a financial advisor stop giving your parents the password to your bank account

    Also offering JVR is like when Freo supporters were offering up Switkowski for Kozzy.

    They’ve got Amiss, Treacy, and now Voss all 22 and under playing KPF

    Tha5a what I would do too, and i think it's probably the most likely outcome.

    But a lot depends on whether Jackson really wants out.

    If he Jackson is afamant he want out, they of course can play hard ball and keep him to his contract, but that would be a risk because nor every player is a Lachie neale which put there head down and continues to play elite footy

    no, i thought the reports were that darcy's previous contract was around $700k and his current contract was around $1m a year

    i mean...who knows ultimately

    Well not really because the better he plays the more he will be worth at the trade table.

    Of course one has to ask themselves, how can a club with net zero forwards, trade away their only consistent goal kicker?

    *Kosi excluded as he will play more midfield as time goes on

    He'll be worth more, but I'd be less inclined to trade him as one of our three consistent goalkickers, alongside a 438 year old Melksham and Kozzy.

    That could be the case, but only if LJ agrees to stay.

    Until we actually know his real intentions, it is all speculation.

    I am pretty confident TL and JT know his intentions.

    Why so keen on Jackson? He's good, but I'd prefer McVee, and I believe JVR is going to be epically good at some point.

    Who cares about Jackson. Don't throw out the team mix we have now. Jackson left us. We shouldn't beg steal and borrow to get him.

    What if its true that he wants to come back for his missus and back to Victoria to the MFC?

    You would have to have rocks in your melon to not entertain this.

    The playing leaders of the club i.e Gawny, JV7, Tmac, Rick and Goody would know 💯 if this is a real outcome.

    As Goody mentioned in his parting words when Jacko was traded "the door is always open to the MFC for Jacko".

    They keep in touch, the leaders know where this all stands.

    If its real i hope we act on it and bring him back.

    Lmao, Ryan Daniels ain’t a Fremantle employee. He would know jack.

    Dan Houston and Barrass literally said categorically 110% they would not be leaving their clubs and were traded 3 months later. 🤣🤡

    Just passing on what I'm told and he absolutely has good contacts in Perth.

    Obviously it may change, but I think as it stands Freo won't agree to trade him and would rather move on Darcy if there's a taker. Most likely Geelong given their constant ruck issues.

    Yep Riv would be in the mix.

    I think Riv + F1 is a fair trade to be honest. a walk up HB /. midfielder and a first round pick which to be honest could be anywhere from Top 5 to late first round

    Announcement of Kozzys signing liked by Dogga’s missus on Instagram. Looks like a fait accompli to me.

    We know you want too Jacko...

    It’ll be a real test for player power because there is no way freo do this willingly.

    YEs and No. If there are genuine circumstances for Dogga to be in Victoria, partner etc. Keeping him to his contract can actually be detrimental. They can absolutely hold him to contract now, he then is forced to be separate from his GF, which can cause some issues for him that translate to performance on field. This can then drop his trade value significantly (not comparable but you just have to look at Olivers value now vs 2 years ago).

    Now i know jack all about his situation, but if his partner was intent on moving to Vic and they are faced with the proposition of leaving apart, then going by Dogga history, will be impacted. How much? who knows. I'd do the deal now where he can command 2 first round picks.

    It would seem that ever since he made the secret agreement to come back to Melbourne, it has really lifted his mood and form.

    I don't care if it's 100% not possible, the job is to keep this thread ticking over and you're all doing a sterling job.

    We all know media lurks here so we'll give them something to read.

    Just one question. Who is Ryan Daniels?

    Perth sports journo. Probably their biggest there now given Basil is off doing other things.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.
