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!

    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? ?

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
