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 itโ€™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 couldnโ€™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.

    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 wouldnโ€™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: 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

      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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
