Just like Gaff and Judd came back to Melbourne and Lukosius and Rankine back to SA. If we overlook players because they might leave us one day we might as well pack it in.

Judd did come back to Melbourne.

Haha yeah fair call but not to MFC which is what I meant (in the context of Jackson returning to west coast cos of NicNat/Suma - who I think has been at Freo for some time anyway so not sure why it would matter)

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?

Was Jackson slow?

No so pace for his size is almost unique and his awareness team play and ability all was super quick. 

Oh and Kozzie Pickett isn't half speedy either.

X factor selections with highlight reels and I reckon both will have some games in 2020.

Well done JT and team.

Exciting year ahead with such promise 

Hope we get Sharp or Robertson at 28.

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. ;)

You do realise Langdon and Tomlinson are from Victoria? Langdon in particular played TAC footy with Gus and Trac.

Guess he was just returning like so many others.

Melbourne has a supporter base of intellectuals, please try and keep the standard.

Yes I did realise that. Hence the “swings and round-abouta” comment.

 

I like the selection as it has an edge to it. Not only Dees fans, but footy fans from across the spectrum will be looking to see haow this pans out in the next few years. The kids looks to offer a fair bit of versatility and may well turn out to be the prototype of way that the role of ruck will evolve in the next generation.

Be good fun watching his development.

 


Welcome aboard the Dee train LJ

Think his team mate Jeremy Sharp or Trent Rivers may be joining him in red and blue with our next pick

Sharp seems to have a bit of Bernie Vince about him, but a bit quicker and with a bigger tank. Am I ballpark at all with that comparison, mate?

Exciting highlight package. Welcome Luke.

Wanted to see Bennell in the vacant 24 jumper initially, but with LJ as initials and seeing Jackson out of the goal square the 24 would look good on him.

 I am torn between the two PSD. Leaning towards Sharp to be honest.

They don't play their footy on draft night 58er.  There was no point anyone else bidding on Green after we passed and apparently the Blues only did so (plus Henry straight after) to garner some time to organise their live swaps to trade down.

How many 199cm rucks are there? Wouldn't this guy be more likely to be playing forward with the occasional forward ruck contest or punch hitting? How tall was Hogan?

Goodwin on SEN this morning said that Jackson could be the first genuine midfielder at 200 cm.  Makes sense.

Those with memory know my opinion on taking ruckmen early...

He looks to have something more about him that maybe he can play a role on a flank or a wing if he has the lungs.

Otherwise, see you in 2025... maybe...

I think this is the point of picking Jackson 'rpfc'.

We haven't recruited him purely was a ruckman.

Both good players but I think Sharp fills our needs more.

Rivers would be the more versatile defender but for mine Sharp is an underrated ball user and decision maker.  Watched him play seniors after the Championships and he stood out as the best player on the ground. Kick was penetrating off half back and wasn't phased by the greater pressure in the seniors with his decision making.

And yes AF he's bigger than Vince and a good athlete at Aquinas College. He wouldn't be as hard at it as Bernie 

Spoke to someone last night who believes he's unlikely to get to us with the Cats pretty keen. They have been into him all year. He also expects Brissy to take Robertson who he knows Cats have also been monitoring 

Remember the outrage when we recruited a fat draft bolter at pick 4 and everyone cried and bitched and moaned about him, and then he turned out to be a superstar? 

Ah, good times!

Just goes to show that, while it's natural to have reservations, it's downright stupid to get angry about it.  These kids need time and they deserve to be given time from the supporter base before we knock the decision to draft them.

Funny as I remember it the other way with most on here being pretty happy that we beat the drug cheats to the big bodied mid with lightning hands.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
