Jackson will come back to Victoria, and you're correct it's likely he'll seek a trade. I think it's incredibly unlikely he'll get back here this offseason, but he will only request a trade back to the MFC. I would be watching this space over the next 12 months.

Inside word @BLWNBA?

Generally if a player is set on moving back home / to a particular club, it happens eventually, so for our sake I hope it’s something Dogga feels strongly about (as much as I feel for and respect his personal circumstances)

    Juddy and Rooey to Freo for Dogga.

    Treacy, Voss and Amiss so why would Dockers want Rooey?

    play him at full back

    i still think our best chance is trac to dingley, the carlton first round pick that they hold to flagmantle, and dogga coming 'home' to us, with other bits and pieces around the edges

    Pearce and Cox for starters.

    Will be an interesting watch.

    Very unlikely LJ comes back sans Goody and with our off field mess. We are not an attractive destination anymore.

    Depends on the next coach. We could send the next 2 first rounders to Freo. Although i understand his partner is from Geelong so I hope he doesn't go to the Cats.

    If Clarry goes, it appears the Cats are the only realistic option, as they wanted him and he likewise.

    Because of the contract involved, even they couldn’t afford both, so hope LJ is not an option for them.

    Well they are one of the 3 clubs every Vic journo wants good players to go to.

    Will probably wind up at Geelong. They need a ruckman and his partner is from Geelong and wanting to move home from WA. They'll promise him a farm and life near a beach to surf and that'll be that.

    Has this still got any legs, or is it dead in the water?

    Jackson still wants to get back to the MFC. Immense difficulties with it occurring, diluted by the fact that there is an incoming coach who (obviously) isn't Goodwin.

    Is that to say Goodwin being gone makes Dogga want to come back more/makes it easier to lure him back?

    Understand it would be extremely difficult either way

    I'd look at it more that the personal connection of Goodwin being coach, increased the affinity of the Club wanting Jackson. There was an emotional connection there by virtue of Goodwin being his coach from 2020 - 2022, that is no longer present. I have no doubt that if Jackson were to declare his intention to seek a trade to Melbourne we'd look to facilitate it, but there may be less of an inclination from the Melbourne side to pursue this actively, now that that personal connection is gone. A new coach may not have this desire to drive this.

    We would be a better team with Jackson, so I am confident a new Coach would drive it if it was possible.

    I would be staggered if any prospective coach wouldn’t want LJ at Melbourne.

    I've never said a new coach wouldn't want Jackson, but I don't necessarily think it would be a certainty we'd go in this direction. The personal connection and affinity which was a two-way street did (does?) play a big part in this.

    Would Jackson make our side better? I absolutely think so. Would I want any incoming coach and list management team to pursue Jackson? Overall, yes.

    But depending on where a new coach thought our side was, what areas for improvement were identified, and what we needed to be competitive and play the game style that the new coach desires, would dictate the decision (amongst list management considerations).

    If I was providing analysis based on an admiralty rating, with so many unknowns at this stage, I'd say it's possible (50%~). To some this will sound like I'm sitting on the fence, and maybe I am. This part of the conversation is based on my interpretation of events and my own views, it's not based on facts or knowledge as we just don't have those at the moment. The flip side is if we could accommodate a trade for Jackson, it would almost certainly occur.

    What I would say, based on the current situation (without knowing intentions regarding outgoing trades), is that it's remote and highly unlikely that Jackson would be at the club next year as it stands.

    • 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.
