    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 ...

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
