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

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

    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.

    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.?

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

    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. 
     

    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. 
     

    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.

    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 party enjoying lunch.

    His forward highlights were impressive.

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

    Are you stuck back in 2008 ?

    I suspect after we select Jackson we will release some new footage of him that 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.  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 donโ€™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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourneโ€™s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nationโ€™s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
