I think Jackson suffers from the fact that he looks so much less like a young ruck/forward than most young ruck/forwards do. He moves so smoothly and with so much coordination that he gets judged like

I had a chat to Luke Jackson today while on a break from work in front of AFL house and he is a friendly, easy going, and level headed kid. Was more than happy to chat and spoke genuinely about t

The kid might be a player one day, but right now we are a team devoid of skill, we need classy ball users, I wish him well but I think we should of went the other way.

Unless we already realise that Preuss will be nothing more than handy depth.  This bloke has the capacity, with the right development, to be an absolute star.  

Good thing we only gave preuss a 4 year deal then.?

Dam those highlights ??

 


I knew they'd throw some highlights in that I hadn't seen but these are really impressive. Pretty happy with this pick. Could be a generational player. Could easily go the other way. Like that we're being brave.

Good luck to him and I hope he does really well for us. 
 

I am only concerned if we don’t perform he will off to the weagles as he said Peter Sumich is his mentor who he will remain in contact with and that his fav player is Nic Nat. 
 

U can bet Sumich will be pushing for him to go to the weagles especially if we are still crap like this season. 

Geez for a bloke that hasnt grown up hard core footy. that highlight package shows he is in for a big career.

Why not try and bring Sumich in as forward coach?

Funnily enough, I’m in Brissy for work and wandered past a very fancy dining establishment around lunch time and was surprised to see Suma part of a large party enjoying lunch.

His forward highlights were impressive.

I suspect after we select Jackson we will release some new footage of him that will change a lot of people’s opinion about us picking him.

I suspect this post I made earlier is ageing well ?

certainly looks much more impressive in the new highlights package and shows he could develop into a real talent up forward as well as in the ruck.

pretty excited about this pick ??

Star ruckman don't win premierships.  Ours stared this season, won the best and fairest and we still finished second bottom.  Square the ledger with ruck stocks....look to fill outside of that with the B+ types and your genuine guns that can turn and win the big matches.

Liken him to Austin Bradtke. Similar background.  I don’t expect him to play any senior games in 2020.  Jackson is raw, with limited footy skills. He hunts and runs like a basketballer.  We should support the pick and hope he develops BUT we will always have the annual media beat up about him going home to the Dockers or Eagles

Nothing has won us premierships for 50+ years.  Just ask SWYL.

Why can't we buck the trend?  I think the upside that Jackson has outweights what someone like Young or Serong bring to the table.  Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong.  We'll just have to see.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
