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.

I don't think Taylor could care less what supporters say.

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 

Except Bradke cost us nothing and we have nothing to lose .Jackson cost a draft pick  for which we had to lose all year to gain .Naturally I fervently hope he turns out as a number 3 draft pick should but I sense that this is make or break for JT.

 

Yep, the new highlights package have won me over. His kicking is not bad and his overhead reach and mark are good. Imagine having him plonked in a goal square. He will take grabs and can be nimble at ground level, which is exactly what Preuss lacks

That highlights package is about as good as you could hope for from a young ruck. No idea if he’ll be any good but that’s certainly whet the appetite a bit.


Welcome to Melbourne Luke - a great city and the best team in the comp

All the best - cant wait to see you raise the premiership cup with Maxy

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.

Big, lanky, x basketballer. Got Collingwood within 5 points of 1??

note: laughing at Collingwood 

 

Welcome.

Unlike some of our previous high picks, this guy looks super competitive and seems to have the NikNat desire to remain in the contest and follow up hos disposal.

We could be on a big winner here.

As if any of you guys know anything? You all post on a football interwebs forum...

Just my opinion but as a weaker Victorian club i see it as crazy to draft an interstate kid with a top end pick. We are destined to go through the 'go home' chatter at every contract. Why not just cut that out with a gun Vic kid? We don't  have a Collingwood or a Hawthorn culture to wrap these kids into.

Yeah I guess the Tigers shouldn't have drafted Rance when they were crap.

Or Hawthorn when they were damn ordinary, what they hell were they doing drafting Buddy Franklin.

Geelong with a great culture obviously were right to pick Tim Kelly, he was always going to stay right?

Time to make the culture in to one of success and that starts with recruiting the best talents and keeping them.

Why dwell on the possibility of him returning..? 

We just recruited three players all from interstate in Langdon, Tomlinson and Bennell... 

swings and round about's 

If we're a good club playing good footy he'll stay for the glory and good time that come with success. If he leaves, there will be a couple of awesome Victorian boys keen to come home...

 

Welcome to the mighty Demons Luke Jackson!

May the force be with you. ;)

Oooooh mama! This kid can mark and kick goals too... who'd a thought?

All that noise about him not being able to kick properly or take a decent grab was clearly rubbish going by those highlights, as was the notion that he is only a ruckman.

Welcome to the MFC, Luke.

Welcome to the MFC, Luke.

not bad on the left hand handball too

First post in a while.

I'll be honest and say, I was never into Jackson at 3, in fact I was hoping all the way up until tonight that we wouldn't call his name. A WA ruckman at 3? Surely not!

But alas it was, and now is time to take the glass half full approach. The updated highlights video was extremely well timed.

He ain't no dinosaur ruckman. The guy looks like an incredible prospect really,  a modern-day prototype. 200cm tall and incredibly nimble. Can mark overhead and he doesn't look like a complete unco when he kicks. How many rucks can kick off their left peg? I can't recall any.

I'm confident that Jackson can be a very good AFL player, just hope he can hang around in Victoria longer than Hogan and the Wiz did.

Why the hell didnt they release those highlights BEFORE the draft!    Looks like a totally different   player, holy [censored].    I think he can play forward.

Looks amazing, some great marks and goals and hes has a nice form on his set shot.   

WELCOME LJ!

Took you a while but glad you are on the LJ train Jacko ?

 

Geez should have released those highlights a week ago, might have stopped the wrist slashing by some 

I agree those new highlights have given some fresh hope he could make an impact up forward

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
