Is he definitely out, as he trained? Did he pull up sore?

De Goey is the New Story
I am not sure that just because you play in the AFL you have to be a role model. I understand the bit about not bringing the game into disrepute, but being a role model is another level altogether. Even being a model citizen, doesnât require you to be a role model.

Shows how people can develop and mature. Chris is now a successful businessman, developer I think.

We have found a player in Disco. Looked very comfortable in his debut before being concussed.

Chol would be handy for us now, helping up forward and in the ruck.

NON-MFC: Round 14, 2022
If your tall and small forwards can kick bags and your mids can contribute a few, then itâs not amazing. ATM we donât have that.

Not that I want Jacko to go and while I donât believe the Sumich rumour, which could be Jackoâs manager trying to scare us, but just consider this if he did go. Would you take a player at 3, who helps you win a flag after 57 years without one and is then traded, for say 2 first round picks and a few players who might solve your ruck and forward issues for the next few years? If Jacko is traded, we are in the box seat. WC are on the improve and shouldnât be on the bottom at seasonâs end, which should avert the fear of the PSD. I still think he will re sign with us, but now think it may be a longer deal, with better money for Jacko. This rumour could be the Managerâs attempt to get him the best deal, if he has told him he wants to commit to us. I just canât see any way Freo, with its list and need to re sign players, could flash that offer around and actually manage it. Other players would want their share if he was getting that much. It is just way over the top. $7m over 7 years is way over the top. $10.5m is ridiculous. Then again.

This is another AFL joke of a decision. There is just no incentive at all in the NGA anymore. Main thing though is that Dogs got JUH.

If that was true and he could go home as the highest paid player in the game, I would think he was gone.

Look at the other sides in the 8 and take out a Tom Mac type and all have more options than us. All have more ruck options too. I think no injuries last year and then the flag, misled us as to our depth in a couple of positions and we might pay for it this year.

CHANGES: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
While I remain confident we can turn it around, a look at our current key forwards and rucks, when compared to our main opposition, is frightening. A relatively short, young ruckman and an out of form FF, are basically on their own. Yes we lost Max and Tom, but we seem to have left ourselves with no depth in these two areas.

Do we start a countdown thread titled âJacko re signs with Dees.â?

Couldnât disagree more.

I just canât believe that if Jacko wanted to go home he wouldnât have told us last year, when he knew we wanted Cerra. He would have probably known his priority last October/November and surely he would have raised it with us as we might have agreed and done a deal if he was so determined to go home. It all leads me to think he will re sign, but maybe only for a few years and then reassess. However, 2 late first round picks and another 30 year old forward/ruckman is not nearly enough for Jacko.

Caro Apologise to Dees Fans
I reckon mine would be putrid by now, so I just keep the bottle displayed on the bar, as another reminder of a great bloke, a friend and the most skilful player I have ever seen.
