    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.

    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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
