At 198cm, I don’t think Jackson will ever be a dominant ruckman. He’s a good accumulator around the ground, but he’ll eventually come up against other rucks who are 10cm and 10kg heavier and get pushed around. He also doesn’t have an insane leap like NicNat, who is 202cm, so bigger to start with.

His best hope to become a force is as a tall forward or defender, and IMO he doesn’t show the skill level. He’s not a great kick and hasn’t showed he can split packs with big contested marks.

Not worth pick 3 IMO.

Na I reckon he'll be alright

100%. He’s proved me wrong and is developing very well. Now I think he struggles as a tall forward but guns it as a ruck. Just need to lock him away long term now!

Yeah.  Could possibly turn out to be ok for us 🙄🤔💙❤️
 

An amazing talent - when taking centre bounces is like having an extra rover in there when he doesn’t tap it to someone else to clear it.  And I am 100% sure that he will help get an extra 2-3 years out of Big Max.

What an inspired selection.

Enormous talent and seems likely a great clubman really hope both he a Rivers are with us for a very long time - both are a large part of the reason we are on the rise

Ok now it’s off to see a dentist and orthodontist to get a mouth guard fitted.  Get one to save the rest of your pearly whites. 
 

But seriously … Luke “Dogga” Jackson is still just teasing us Dees supporters.  I’m waiting for him to just grab the game and kick multiple goals or just elevate his 2nd efforts to new levels.  His speccy v lions was again just a teaser.   We have seen what he can do. In bursts and patches and quarters and some games.  
 

LJ will be so crucial going forward.  Potentially he gets the 2nd ruck matchup against Ladhams from Port or the Allir Allir contest across our forward line. He’d have to bring it all across both such contests. I’d backing him in as he’s still got huge upside ahead.

Absolutely. it takes 2-3 seasons to build the body and engine to compete consistently at AFL level and LJ is definitely ahead of the curve here. He has a fantastic attitude towards training and learning as well - looking to avoid the same mistakes that Maxy made earlier in his career (Gawn is going to be such a pivotal role model).

This guy can be anything and will cause so many headaches for the years to come in terms of match-up. Rivers, Kozy and LJ will become very good players and to think that we have Trac, Oliver, Lever and bunch of others still in their early 20's. Such an exciting time to be part of this football club.

Shades of Jeff White?

As a player almost ahead alreafy

As a facial injury, only a mere pallid shadow.  My blood boils whenever I think of that day and the lack of repercussions to the perpetrator (?King) and the nauseating smug response of that despicable lowlife Bomber Thompson

Gee some posts near the start of this thread did not age well  🤣

Thanks for that hint.

I have just spent a very happy half hour trawling through some of the pre-draft comments.

I can say however well done to Mach5 and Wells 11 who were among the early supporters.

I take it he doesn’t wear a mouth guard? If that’s the case it’s quite surprising. 

I read that he was actually wearing a mouthgard when it happened, they don't actually prevent this happening 100% if you cop a decent whack

He will be scary good in a couple of years, and I mean Adam Goodes, Nic Nat, Buddy Franklin Good. 

Keep pinching myself about what we got in that draft. Dogga , Riv and Koz.

Big part of what’s happening now in rejuvenating the team.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
