 Melbournehi  — Luke Jackson

Ruckmen aren’t usually taken in the top 10 and they usually take years to mature. But there is a belief that Jackson – the basketball convert Melbourne drafted at Pick 3 – is ready to step into Simon Goodwin’s best 22. And he admitted to foxfooty.com.au last year that he wanted to play Round 1. The Demons possess one of the best ruckmen in the AFL in three-time All-Australian Max Gawn, but some believe Jackson can play as a forward or even as a midfielder, despite standing at 197cm tall.

 

I suspect kozzie will be first. Meets a desperate need (crumbling forward wirh x factor), fitness nor such a critical requirement in his position and is built like a bar fridge.

 

Jordan might be a chance if he impresses in the pre season games.

Has he shrunk 2cm since coming to Melbourne? That’d be right!

The original measure was borrowed from Collingwood

 

Has to be Kozzie fills the biggest need we have come round 1

Bit early to call, but I like what I'm hearing about Rivers.

Rivers attracts my attention, as well. Jackson also could be a forward asset and part-time ruck in the area.


There’s a position wide open for Pickett, so he’ll get a game before others due to that.

Of the new draftees, Rivers is probably the most ready and versatile, so barring injury I expect him to crack a game playing hbf/midfield.

Jackson appears a way off and needs to add more strength as he currently gets pushed around in most contests at training. People need to be patient with him as talls take longer and just because he’s a high draft pick, doesn’t mean he’ll crack a game and dominate.

James Jordon was developing nicely late last year when moved into the midfield at VFL level, and it sounds as though he’s continued to develop over preseason. We’ll likely see him debut next season.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
