He also predicted that Port would defeat Geelong in the โ€˜07 grand final, so his record isnโ€™t one to give much credence to.

To be fair to Dwayne Russell, he takes more talk back calls thenย  anyone else at Sen.

Oh Dwwwayynne. Your prediction isnโ€™t aging very well.

Dwayne has had it in for Melbourne for a long, long time.ย  I'm pretty sure that at one stage his employer (might have been K-Rock) even ordered him to tone down the relentless, over the top Demon bashing comments.

That's fair enough because he's suck a fvckwit

All commentators can be annoying at times, but Dwayne Russell is the only one I can't listen to. Horrendous Dees-hater, and has strong bias in most games he calls.

His comments re Jackson just go to show how stupid some people are. Does everyone remember Tom Hawkins first 3 seasons? And what aboutย James Frawley's first 2 years - he was hopeless.ย 

duhwayne would probably be the last commentator whose opinion i'd take any notice of ...... and there's plenty of other bad ones

Why not ? He after allย played for Port ย notย sure if it was only SANFL or not.

I actually think the opposite. I dont think he'll make it as a forward. I think he is only a ruckman.

Any updates DrD? ย  Ruck ? Forward? Midfielder?ย

Even Choco in hindsight said that he knew the Power were stuffed before the game, and that the only hope they had left was for him to try to mentally psych them out. Hence why he made those comments prior to the game where he said he was reserving space on the wall for their next club premiership photo.

Dwayne also played for Geelong, and he used his status as a former player at both clubs as the basis of his premise that Port would win.

Thanks DC still the same Port is Port eh?ย 


I think what we've got to remember is that commentators these days are not journalist. The nature of radio and newspapers has changed. 24/7 - limited research, limited time for editorials but most importantly - the need for eyes on the screen or ears on the podcast.,

We are talking about pundits. Pundits to provide soundbites, for advertising dollars

And yep, they're human - for whatever Dwayne seeminglyย (worst name in the world and mine is pretty similar) has a bias against Melbourne.

If you can get your head around it ย - there is a level of acceptance that at times, you need to wade through the bombardment of soundbites and you'll find your way to Mecca... (is that Demonland??)

Luke Jackson is only 19 in his second season. He could be anything but for the time being he plays in the ruck to free up Maxie and runs his opponents ragged. He shows quick and good decision making (handballs to advantage) and has a knack of anticipating and running hard to receive for easy goals. What a pleasure to watch.

It would not surprise me if he even ended up as a midfielder.

Yep. Far too good in traffic to be a forward only.

Derwayne will never make it as a broadcaster

ย 

Or a decent human being


Can't stand Dwayne Russell and his hyperbolic vomit spew. Even disregarding his irrational hatred of the Dees, they guy is so damn annoying. I'm baffled how he is held in such high esteem by his fellow colleagues. Also, Dogga is gonna be a genuine superstar and one of the best Ruckman in the comp in the coming years, so yeah good call Dwayne.ย ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

...and so it begins...

Hasleby believes the 19-year-old will be one of the stars of the league in a few seasons.

โ€œIf Iโ€™m Fremantle, Iโ€™m throwing everything at a key position player in Luke Jackson,โ€ he told Sportsday WA.

โ€œIโ€™d be prepared to give up my whole draft for Luke Jackson.

โ€œHeโ€™s the only player I would sell the shop for. Midfielders, other players, not interested. Weโ€™ve got that covered. We havenโ€™t had two key forwards in the history of our team.

โ€œI would give my whole draft this year for Luke Jackson because he could be the difference.

โ€œI think in two to three years heโ€™ll be the marquee player of the competition.โ€

Former Eagle Karl Langdon believes his old side should consider the same play for the West Australian teenager.

โ€œIf I was West Coast I would do the same thing. After Nathan Vardy, Bailey Williams is their next best and only developing tall. The next tallest is Harry Edwards,โ€ Langdon said.

โ€œWest Coast donโ€™t have anybody else.โ€

Jackson has already signed a contract extension with Melbourne through to the end of 2022.

After listening to Jackson on the Gus and Gawny podcast, I'd be extremely surprised if he ever left Melbourne.

Also, every team should be "throwing everything" at him. Kid is a freak.

i thought the same

sounds amazingly 'settled'

no doubt helped by having the likes of rivers and pickett come in at the same time and immediately all play together with great success from the get go

Was listening to SEN and Derwayne mentioned that Jackson won't make it as a ruck and the only way he'll carve a career in this league is if he's played exclusively as a key forward.

Is he jumping the gun?

Does he have a point?ย 

Was Jackson that poor in his one game as starting ruck V's North and as a relief ruckman in his other 5 games?

Be interested to hear what you all think his best position will be.

Thought Russell was being a little too harsh on the back of a 200cm kid having a 6 game taste.

ADMIN EDIT:

Here is the actual audio.

ADDITIONAL ADMIN EDIT:

Found the call:

So who else feels like giving Dwayne a call?ย

    Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    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?
