Canโ€™t get excited about this choice. Hopefully I am wrong and he becomes a long term star of the club.ย

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

Why not try and bring Sumich in as forward coach?

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.

Hope he doesn't decide to join Jesse in a couple of years.

If that were to eventuate, we'd probably get Young back the other way, after he's built a bit of a tank.

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

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

Didnโ€™t think of that but I think deep down he is weagles through and through.ย 

Not sure here nothing against the Lad hope is great but we have Preuss on a 4 year deal & need pace like Young & we pick another ruck?

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.

Is this an indication that he is now with the MFC in some capacity?

Hope so, he had the team polo on, even as a small part Iโ€™d love him back at the club.

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

I am only concerned if we donโ€™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.ย

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

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

Funnily enough, Iโ€™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 partyย enjoying lunch.ย

His forward highlights were impressive.

I hope we give him a Queens Birthday debut because thatโ€™s like our grand finalย 

Are you stuck back in 2008 ?

I suspect after we select Jackson we will release some new footage of him thatย will change a lot of peopleโ€™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.ย  Ours stared this season, won the best and fairest and we still finished second bottom.ย  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. ย I donโ€™t expect him to play any senior games in 2020. ย Jackson is raw, with limited footy skills. He hunts and runs like a basketballer. ย 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 Eaglesย

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

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

I reckon he will play in 2020 , mostly up forward.

Never seen Jackson play and am certain Jason Taylor has weighed up all the negatives raised by supporters and yet he still picked him.

I'm happy to put faith in the Taylor's judgement.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: โ€œThen came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.โ€ Today, weโ€™re back in the same place although oneย difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, โ€œIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, โ€ฆโ€ย  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
