He keeps his cards close to his chest but I sensed he is a lot more excited about Deakin Smith than Kobe Farmer or the young White boy.

    Jason said that Jackson was the first player they interviewed back in February. Safe to say they have been into him for a long time.

    In February I doubt Taylor would have foreseen a likely scenario where Melbourne had pick three.

    Given that, Taylor probably thought Jackson was more likely to be available in the 10-20 range at that time which is where Melbourne’s “natural” pick was likely to fall.

    So I wouldn’t read it to mean Taylor thought Jackson was at the very pointy end of the draft for a long time, but the interest was clearly there.

    As has been stated a few times Jackson’s development through 2019 was rapid.

    The pessimist in me says Taylor got obsessed with Jackson early and wanted him even though pick three was too soon for a 10-20 talent.

    The optimist says Taylor has an advantage over other recruiters as he has watched Jackson longer and more closely than others, and was still happy to use pick three.

    Was the deal for pick eight and 28 originally to get Jackson and Pickett with three going on one of the consensus early picks, but then everything changed once it was apparent Jackson was not going to last to eight and Pickett unlikely at 28? Hopefully Taylor does a memoir one day.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
