Oh he’s not fat. No footballer is! 
He just looks really heavy and unfit. 

There were whispers during the early '90's that the West Coast Eagles were on something performance enhancing. I remember Paul Coach saying that they must have been good steaks over there at the time.

They must have replaced the steaks with KFC double downs and deep fried Mars Bars. It looks like NikNat and McGovern have been eating at the same buffet.

Its a joke of an award  - its impossible to win effectively by being nominated after round 14.

You either have a best first year player award OR you have an award for the player that is the most likley to be a star

And there are good players that have great years but don't get nominated because someone has a blinder one week.

Or the AFL need to spread the love for teams that haven't yet been nominated....

 

Of course Jmac but having said that, someone has to be nominated and I reckon he deserves one.  Nothing stopping another nom next year when he is a great chance again.

I heard the same from a Mudgee motel owner whose brother played for the Eagles  - full back - at that time.

This guy is going to be a star and a huge part of our success. I don't think there are many players one can compare him with.

Such a great addition. Well done MFC.

Hope to see many years of him and Kozzie up forward kicking bags of goals.

I wonder if he will bulk up as he's so young. But I guess its always a fine line bw speed and bulk.  Sometimes when he gathers the ball up I forget how tall he is. Great to see him holding his marks and slotting majors now too

 

The upside of this kid is enormous. Starting to take his marks more consistently too, which will give him great confidence. 
Need to sign him up long-term along with his best mate

I agree he should but its a stupid award if half the players nominated can't win it and a bunch of the players not nominated can't win it.

Didn't you notice the very substantial bulking up of Jacko between seasons LITB?

Must have increased weight by 8/10 kgs O would hav thought.

Look at some 2020 photos and a recent one and see the arms, body upper especially and legs so much more muscle and definition.

That's a mystery in itself. From what I understand Jordon can run all day. Why is he getting limited TOG?

Didn't he stop the Coach from patting him on the bum when coming back to bench? That's pretty good reason ...

Good East Bentleigh boys, that's why. ?

Boundary Road boppers.

Just illustrates how important it was for us to tank in 2019...

He’s a jet and I think could be in the top 10 players in the game. I hope we can manage to pay him as maybe May and Gawn age and retire. We just have a number of players now that demand to be paid.

Great problem to have.

Got it right the second time around didn’t we!

21 touches and 3 contested marks In windy wet conditions 

19yo and 200cms. As athletic as Adam Goodes. Could be anything. What a gun!

There's a good chat up with LJ on the Gus and Gawny podcast - about 30 minutes in total.

Amongst the banter and the "getting to know you" kind of stuff, two things stood out to me:

1. He said was 91kg on draft night and has already hit the ton.

2. He could not have said "Nup!" quick enough when Gawny went serious and asked him if it was tough living away from Perth. He even thinks Melbourne has overtaken Perth as a city (despite being COVID-ravaged for most of his time - as Gawny pointed out)

He's a ripper.

I must say there were a couple of games on the run home that year  (WC, Dogs and Saints) when we we had a lead in the last Qtr or had all the momentum only to be run over.

I’m not giving your tanking claim any credence (unless you were joking)  but we certainly flushed some potential wins down the toilet in late 2019.

Just watched his segment on Gus and Gawny.

Certainly the bloke you'd love to have a beer and a cone with at 5am on a Sunday morning.

Hi deever  LJ said that he has gone from 91kg to 101 kg since joining the club on the Gus & Gawny podcast this week and all muscle.!!!

His ability to palm the ball into the hands of his midfielders was sublime - the ball just slides off his hand 

It’s the cheeseburger grease. 

I think of everything about Jacko the thing he has improved so much at this year is his contested marking. Early days this season he got to plenty of contests but his hands never looked confident, now looking back at the marks he took against WC he just looks a totally different kettle of fish. The sky is the limit on him, I have never been this excited about a young KPP/ruckman at our club.

Likable bloke. Assuming you like stoners.

He is hilarious o Gus and Gawny. And his post match interview with Eddie and co after the eagles game was equally hilarious. 

I was thinking that he could well be the long lost son of the Jeff 'the dude' Lebowski

I thinking it was Browny, who said on ‘On the Couch’ that he appears to gone from a boy to a man in a couple of weeks.

He is now imposing in the ruck, at ground level and up forward. I think he will tear games apart. Hoping it will be during the final series, but certainly early next year!

  • 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?
