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

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.

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.

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. ;)

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.

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!

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
