Well done, young man. Star in the making, but gee it's a ridiculous award.

 

I reckon he is a good chance of winning it coz he just won it.

Loved seeing May at the end with the massage / back slap combo.

I hope that is the extent of the touching....

Jackson stands a chance though just a game. 2 goals. 8 possessions.  2 marks. 14 hits outs. 

Well done Jacko.

Seriously... it was another step forward for Jackson, but he has a long way to go to be a Rising Star of the calibre of other nominees. They don't give the award on potential.

We all want him to be great, but he's not. Not yet, anyway. 

Same goes for Kozzie. Three minutes of highlights. Looong way to go.

This aged well........... :)

Agreed - May is a fantastic leader, especially getting around the young guys.

You're just jealous you weren't there to ruffle his luxurious locks Bin.


His hair needs a lot of work. One day he’ll be old and he will have many regrets.

Well done to Jackson.

He is our first Rising Star nominee since....

Oscar McDonald in Round 21, 2016.

Don’t mention the war. 

Well deserved for Jacko, he could’ve had 3 goals had Fritta not floated in front and pinch an uncontested mark from him!

Really looking forward to seeing him progress.

I reckon his chances are pretty good now they have announced it.

Your stealing E T s thunder.

Well done Jacko!

Where's @Mental Demons? Weren't you the one taking pot shots at Jackson for playing ahead of Tom McDonald the last few weeks because he couldn't take a contested mark? ?‍♂️?‍♂️

He'll be leading the award after he destroys Goldstein.

he's holding down chf and he's about to hold down starting ruck after, what, seven games?

i honestly was mighty surprised when he was the selection but he looks like he'll develop beautifully, injury permitting

smart player with a big frame and good skill

 

Luke Jackson is our future can play in  a number of positions that is why we picked him up with our pick 3.

Can play in the ruck can go forward and also play as a midfielder. Luke will become a dangerous player for the opposition  within the next couple of years. He has a great pair of hands can certainly take a mark and most of all for an 18 yo he looks composed and has no clumsiness in his game.

 For a big boy he looks polished and will only improve with game time.

And like Clary he often has a smile on his face when you would see most footballers have a look of intense concentration. Obviously enjoying his footy

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
