langford? 7 games in and 3 bog's already he is that guy

i would like to see jackson, treacy and a pick maybe for jvr, kosi and mcvee/woey that then frees up a spot down back for sestan and or adams also that only leaves us needing a small forward everywhere else on the ground is solid

There’s no world where Fremantle would give up Jackson and Treacy, let alone with a pick, for the players you listed. But I’d also say it would be insane to give up McVee.

McVee is one of our best users of the ball; why would we give up one of only players with the ability to link and run?

Woewodin wouldn’t even cut it as steak knives in a deal.

    Don’t get why he has to move across the country to avoid family. I can do it from two suburbs away.

    Medias heads would explode if we got Dogga but didn't lose Kozi. Please this happen.

    Offering players that Freo don't want or need isn't going to get it done.

    My guess is that if this happens it will be simple..... Koz for Dogga.

    What about JVR and Koz for Jackson and picks?

    The real question is, was Windsor and Jeffo for LJ fair or is there still left over animosity in stealing LJ from us for peanuts. Remember, he was pick 3 and I was livid in what we got for him, given what Freo coughed up for Bolton.

    Windsor is a gun but better picks should have gotten us closer to securing H.Reid.

    Not those types of off field issues.

    Family drama that can be resolved by, you guessed it, getting the hell away from said family.

    Im sure it will continue to be a distraction wherever he is to be honest.

    There’s no way we get him without giving up Kozzy, and if Kozzy doesn’t want to leave then Freo have no incentive to trade him to us.

    I’d much rather keep Kozzy

    Jackson left us because of off-field issues.

    Now he wants to leave Fremantle because of off-field issues.

    Haven't we had enough of those recently?

    I think Freo had two first round picks in that draft and traded the highest one out before entering negotiations with us to bring Jackson home. Screw them.

    As a supporter I agree with you, 100%. But as an entity and at an organisational level, we seem to constantly drive deals where we walk away ‘happy’ (i.e., get the target at what we see is reasonable or ‘market’ cost). I wouldn’t expect us to go down the Bell/Dodoro route; it’s just not who we are culturally (personally, I find this to be better and we largely get our deals done with a a minimum of fuss).

    As I said though, I absolutely agree Freo walked out the winner on the Jackson deal. That was unders.

    I mean, if he’s coming back through Casey, he’s still on our list. Seems a little redundant.

    Mcvee, JVR & F1 for Jackson

    Free Agent- worpel & Allen

    Instantly back into flag contention with another pre season under the belt of our high end youth core.

    The club will continue to prioritise keeping Kosi above all else. And so they should.

    Kosi should not come into the conversation whatsoever, if we feel there is even a small chance he will be happy to stay put. He is far too valuable to just offer up for a player who clearly has a strong desire to not only move back to Victoria, but who is pretty set on the idea of playing for us. That doesn't happen often, and it gives us more leverage than it does Freo.

    Also wonder how Kosi will feel, knowing that if he goes to Freo, he all but makes his cousin Dudley a fringe player. Hard to see how Freo plays all 3 of Dudley, Kosi and Bolton, plus Reid and Walters. It just doesn't work.

    Excellent post and agree 💯

    If it happens it’ll be a straight swap

    Why? Because the media wants it to be that way? If it happens it will be the player wanting to be traded for personal reasons with a massive contract.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
