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?

P2J - you are bringing out the pedant in me. 
 

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

Nic Naitanui except he gets possessions around the ground? I’d like to see that. 


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.

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.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
