I backed him a week or two ago at $15.

The only 2 currently ahead of him him in the betting are Scholl (Ade) and Warner (Syd), with Cox (Ess) at the same odds.

 

Well deserved. He was brilliant yesterday, and really took control of the game in the third quarter. He’s still not great as a marking tall forward, but around the ground and in the ruck he’s looking phenomenal for his age.

Well done Dogga!

 

IMVHO Luke going on the ball was the game changer.  
Well deserved. 


Well done Luke Jackson that was a great game young man well deserved reward for effort.!!!!!

 

Has anyone made the comparison to Anthony Koutofides yet?  Thats who he reminded me of in that third quarter.

Maybe more accurate would be a Kouta/Goodes hybrid.  But LJ will dominate in  the ruck too and those two guys were much shorter.

 Hes a very unique player.

The Goodes comparison works for me. Also, Jimma?

Even those muppets at AFL house couldn’t overlook him this week. Onya Dogga.

P2J - you are bringing out the pedant in me. 
 

Can there be degrees of uniqueness?  Given that unique means one of a kind? ?


Goodes/Nic Nat love child

I don’t see the Goodes comparison at all. Completely different types of players. Goodes was a powerful, and explosive, athletic beast. Jackson is more of a gritty, aggressive inside mid, yet plays as a ruck/forward. He appears to have hands like Oliver, tackles like Nic Nat. If there is any comparison it’s probably more Nic Nat than anything.

At least everyone's agreeing he should be compared to some of the greats of our game. 

Kid's a gun. Congrats on the (second) nomination Luke!

But not 10kgs overweight and half fit.

And not super over rated either for that matter.

He doesn't move outside of the center square that lug. Immensely overrated beyond belief.

Luke Jackson has set a new career high disposal numbers, three games in a row:

He has everything. 

Skills, tenacity, in the air and on the ground, calm decision making. 

He is going to be a superstar. 

Move over Bont.

Just gotta shake your head and what this kid is doing at the age of 19 and a half for somoene of his size.

He is so good at ground level its ridiculous.

Picks up the ball beautifully for someone his size and dances around opponents like a small as well.

Doing a very good job at ruck and now roving his own work.

Starting to hold marks and putting goals away.

The icing on the cake is that old song....hes only 19.

Id argue that the comparison isnt that far removed.

Jackson is very athletic. Yes Adam was a very strong player but Luke is only 19 and will build much more strength.

The more confidence and bulk he gets the more the comparison will fit.

Well deserved. 

Gawn was getting beaten IMO. They worked him over and I suspect the move of Jackson was to change Norths ruck set ups.

It worked beautifully and Luke was outstanding.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
