Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Is that really everything you've read about Jackson?  I'd suggest you read a little wider.

Whether he goes pick 3 or not, the kid can seriously play.

Serious question. How do you know this. There's so little footage I can't get a handle on him at all. I'd say t's not possible to get that idea without seeing him.

Can he though? He's pushing aside undersized opponents and Taylor is grabbing him with a KPF position in mind, yet from what I've read he struggles overhead and his kicking is not the best, not to mention he hasn't played a lot forward. I just wish there was more footage

Here's the issue though. You're basing your opinion on all the potential kids on a small snippet (highlights) of the games they've played. Taylor and Co. have been watching these kids for years. If they believe that Jackson is Pick 3, than I'll back them in. You may see better highlights from the likes of young, but Young may have more more lowlights than Jackson.

Basing an opinion on a highlights package is always fraught with danger.

The 'experts' in the media really know very little outside the top 2-3 sides and players in the draft.

I was reading an article in the age that had Harrison Petty under medium/small defenders..... he is 197cm tall!

Isn't that what we are all doing? On a discussion based forum....

I'm not just going by highlights either, I'm taking into account people who've actually been to the games and provided info. I don't trust Taylor yet personally.

I've only seen a handful of players who aren't natural forwards turned into effective key position forwards. There's so much that goes into the position. Knowing how to read all the play down the field, knowing where to run to on a lead coupled with the skills to have running patterns to lose key backs, then kicking and marking skills. Massive risk to take someone on for this if they don't have a background in it. 

I have absolutely no idea about Jackson with any of this, there's just not enough footage. It's just got gamble written all over it.

Honestly, I'm not concerned with his ability on the field. I have two issues with this kid. 

  1. Another ruck isn't a big priority right now.
  2. Chances are he'll do a Hogan and run for home the moment he has any currency.

Given he's not a clear standout over others I would prefer us taking a local kid with great skills and movement.

Buckenara rates him at 18 in his phantom draft. 

Seems to have gamble written all over it. Drafting for unexposed potential. Hopefully will develop into a forward, hopefully will learn to kick, hopefully will grow a few centimetres, hopefully won't go home. Hope they've done serious homework on the last point. 

Having watched the finals I would have said the standout trait we need is elite skill. Clearly not addressing that weakness here.

Gotta trust Taylor I guess. 

Buckenara has Pickett at 35. Fair to say our picks would be looking very different if he was our recruiting boss. 

Buckenara knows nothing, he is not in the system anymore

Or take a chance with a kid who could be a once in a lifetime player.

That's not what Hogan did though was it. In fact kind of the opposite.

My concerns with Jackson are that we don't develop him properly.

Which means more than a few trips out to Casey. Time spent playing CHB to learn how key forwards move and to test his skills. Time spent playing CHF up the ground and maybe even some time on ball and on the wing.

Plus proper skill development - mostly kicking and marking as well as athletic development.

Hogan was so good in his first season that we didn't develop him as a player or as a person. Very few players go home if they are drafted to good clubs that put the right work in to them.

Yes, it does seem like Taylor is a bit of a basketball fan. I think I heard somewhere that Pendlebury used to play b'ball as well.

Big stretch to blame go home factor on the Club. Something wrong with Hawthorn and Geelong? Franklin (wasn’t even go home factor) and Kelly.

I said very few, not none.

Franklin didn't go home, so he's irrelevant to the go home factor.

Kelly had a partner, 3 kids under 5 and two with Autism. In a fairer world he never would've been drafted interstate to begin with. In fact had there been live trading I think he would've been treated like a defacto academy player and had the WA clubs trade up for him once he got out of the first round.

Cripps, Rich, Duncan, Conigilio, Harry Taylor, Cale Hooker and so many other good WA players have had long careers at one club and others like Cameron, Franklin and O'Meara have had their reasons to move to different non WA teams.

Unless there's significant family pull or circumstances the go home factor is minimal for happy players.

I’m not sure if we’ll take Jackson at 3 but it appears if we don’t, he’ll go soon after, this tells me that we aren’t out on our own and other clubs are circling him. There are probably 4 other clubs in the top ten who would jump at the chance at grabbing him.

I’ve seen additional footage of him and he really looks the goods to me, he is a really exciting player and could be anything. We can go the safe route and pick another midfielder, or go for a player who could bring some excitement and star quality to the team. 

If we could get Robertson as well it would be my dream draft, but i’m  happy if the club picks Kickett, he will be long gone by our next pick at 28, if we don’t take him he will go to the doggies.

Flanders may be a chance to be selected

I’d say more than a few.

And don’t under-estimate the amount of time, effort and money clubs put into potential targets to come back to their home state. It’s a compelling selling point.

The last three free agency / trade periods have included the following player movements, where one could easily argue the pull to go home played an important  - perhaps the dominant - role in that player’s decision to move states:

2017: Schache, Weller, N Wilson, B Matera, Gibbs, Lever, Saad, C Cameron, D Smith, Ablett, B Ah Chee, J Trengove, Crozier

2018: Conca, T Lynch, Lycett, Newman, Shiel, Colyer, Hogan, Lobb, Mayes, Scully, Stengle, Scrimshaw, Setterfield, Hannebery, Rohan, Pittard

2019: Tomlinson, T Kelly, E Langdon, Betts, Patton, Howard, Z Smith, A Keath, T Cutler, Z Jones, A Bonar, Acres

For me, the go-home factor (and why, by the way, should that exclude ‘significant family pull or circumstances’ - isn’t that what it’s all about?) is a legitimate concern to have with the recruitment of Jackson. And that’s not just because the Hogan experience is still fresh. Jackson, as talented as he is and as good as he may become, appears to be the kind of player who will take years to reach his potential, by which time the lure to go home may well be irresistible.

Tomlinson - cash/security, he loved the Giants
Kelly - significant family reasons, as far as I can tell he liked Geelong but his family didn't
E Langdon - more to that story
Betts - nope, he's already gone 'home' to South Australia once, clearly Crows shedding cap space
Patton - nope, salary dump
Howard - not even from Victoria
Z Smith - nope, never plays at Geelong
Keath - maybe, but a big contract at his age was surely the number 1 factor
Cutler - nope, couldn't get a game at Brisbane
Z Jones - maybe, but the Saints clearly had a bigger need than the Swans for him
Bonar - nope, salary dump
Acres - didn't even want to leave

When players have a reason to leave they often go home to the state they are from. That makes perfect sense. But largely there's been a contract dispute or contract opportunity, lack of game time, coaching issues, too many good players/salary dump (GWS/Syd) or too few good players resulting in guys leaving a bad situation (Gold Coast).

Who are the regular best 22 players in good regular finals teams - non GWS - from that list.

1. Jake Lever - clear contract dispute
2. Charlie Cameron - went to where he went to school not even his families home
3. Hannebery - a salary cap dump from the Swans
4. Hogan - all sorts of stuff going on there 
5. Zak Jones (if you believe Sydney will bounce back to being a good side) -stayed in Sydney a long time and got an opportunity at the Saints for a contract
6. Kelly 

A good team with the right contract will keep the vast majority of their best players without any issues.

The only consensus is that opinion is divided on picking Jackson.

Raw. Athletic. But footy skills and smarts need to be developed which raises queries and WA origin makes us nervous. Acknowledge JT experience gives us some cautious optimism.
 

Interesting given we all had hoped that after the 2019 disaster that we’d grab a definite top gun youngster.  Suns concession robbed MFC as Anderson was almost unanimous when we had pick 2.   Young and Green other options but all the mail is Jackson at 3.

I am very conflicted...I do understand the "hype" around Luke Jackson. Big and strong and agile. But can he actually play AFL? Will he continue to grow beyond 200cms? Will his kicking improve? What if he wants to return to WA because of home sickness? These are all questions to be taken into account.

 

Nevertheless, I still believe the best option is to put a sneaky bid on Tom Green so GWS have to take him early.

 

Then go for the safe but guaranteed talent of Hayden Young with his sublime kicking skills and decision making. Something that the Demons have desperately lacked!

 

It's about time the Demons have some more players that can actually kick well on the team.

 

No more apple turn-over merchants!

 

 

In the end, I will put my faith in Jason Taylor to make the right decision. It's his neck on the line if he stuffs up.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
