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

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
