Jackson has already extended to end of 2022

 

I love this kid, thanks James Jordon and MFC for doing the right thing by the kid. J J will become a Rigoni / Leonchelli type player for us, just playing his role at present but has skills and courage to become a great link man for us. Does that mean he has been elevated to senior list??

And so has Petracca but Melbourne supporters have the constitution of an infant with hand foot and mouth so here we are...


Very pleased.  Because we delisted him and made him a rookie in 2020 he would have been an FA this year and gone anywhere.

Great to see our investment in and support through injury of another youngster yielding rewards for him and the club.

I bet that Melbourne is working to extend the contracts of both Trac and Jackson as we speak.

I know they are signed until the end of next year, but that will come around very quickly, and if we are to target someone like Merrett in the off season, we need to re-sign as many of our top players as we can so we can assess where our salary cap is at.

Very big call but I think you are correct.

And what player would not sign on.

We are finally becoming the destination club we wanted to be.

 

And how good does it feel.???

I'm expecting @demonstone to pop up more than once in this thread.

I've seen Jordon's contract and it includes a clause that stipulates that he gets a $100 bonus each and every time somebody spells his name wrong.

I mean, it's great that he's signed and all that, but this is going to send the Club broke.

To me, the following quotes from the MFC announcement epitomize the way  JJ is now playing for us:

"James has worked diligently on all parts of his game, and is now getting reward for his hard work"

" he is a really mature young man with a terrific attitude"

Not all players can be stars, but diligence, hard work and the right attitude can take you a long way!

He’s a lifetime free agent is he? Every time he comes out of contract he can choose where he goes, good luck to him!

Obviously he has a big tank and is strong for a young player but I reckon there’s a fair bit more to work on building his power and explosiveness too. He might not be Tracc or Oliver but he’ll be a handful to tackle or go get tackled by. 

They’ve kept his game time low and just asked him to do his job. Moved him around with some wing and forward minutes and the centre square stuff. He’s made a great start.

Nice comparison.

Important players in their own rights.

technically as this season is his first on the rookie list a 2yr deal could mean he stays as a rookie and then gets upgraded at the end of that? or can rookies only sign 1yr deals? OR have we just decided to upgrade him again at the end of the season since we now know how many picks we're allowed to take and still baring in mind list sizes will shrink again at seasons end by possibly 2 

I must admit to hardly ever noticing him in the game telecasts.  He seems to just slip under the radar and just goes about his job.

Hopefully we can get Alex Neal-Bullen signed up too. OOC at end of the year.

I can see North offering ANB $800k on a 5 year deal.

How much of a luxury has it been being able to have these young players just simmer away in the background and develop in their own time instead of being put in the cauldron too early in their career? Jimmy is a great example. Comes in and looks pro from day one, but in reality has put in a tonne of work to get here. Awesome.

And if I were him, I'd be taking it!

I wonder if he'll end up being better than both, injuries notwithstanding. Injuries really cruelled Rigga and to a lesser extent, Andrew.

That is just terrible salary cap management!!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
