    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 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.

    Yeah, but we got the picks that got the soldiers that may prove pivotal in the fight for the flag...

    They never really did resolve that plot line with Maude, did they?

    Jacko had another good game today v Crows.  His last quarter ruck work , second efforts and clearances were a sign of the future.  Huge talent.  
     

    Dees must work to keep him happy.   He can take the game apart once his footy brain matures.  
     

    only worry is that Eagles will eventually come with a big contract and big $$s to get back home.

    Huge talent with output beyond his years. But he doesn't realise he's as good/talented as he actually is. Will be interesting to see what happens when the penny drops.

    I just hope we sign him up soon so we don't have to put up with 15 threads about when he's going back to WA.

    Not having a go at you sons but you know how the system works on here.

    Dogga by the Flemington straight, except if Geelong have someone nominated (bending the rules for players over 30)

    A one year old dog is around 20 years of age for people.

    Should they be calling him Puppa instead?

    The growth in Dogga has been amazing this year. It goes without saying that many though he needed a spell a few weeks ago, but he continues to be magnificent for a 19 year old kid.

    I remember in our first game against the Dockers this year, he clunked a big mark at the end of the game but botched the shot on goal.

    At the time, judged on that performance, I thought that was an encouraging cameo and that maybe by the end of the year, he might be a decent support player up forward. 

    How wrong was I. With Maxy teaching him the craft of ruck work, and with an athleticism that could see him even spend time on a non-rucking position on the ball, the sky's the limit with this bloke. 

    Get the chequebook out. This is a once in a generation talent.

    Would be good to sign him over the off season for 2 years.

    After that who knows. Eagles will throw the proverbial sink to get him.

    I think he's a real barometer in this side which is staggering for a second year ruckman.

    For instance, during our dip in form between round 15 and 19 which included 2 wins (one of which being a rather lukewarm 11 point win against the Bombers), 2 losses and a draw, Jackson only averaged 9 disposals and kicked just the 2 goals. Over the last three weeks/wins, he's averaged 18 disposals and kicked 6 goals.

    His development has been astounding this year. 

  • Quote

    When he starts clunking the ones he gets his hands on, Oliver, Petracca and Gawn might find they're not in contention for the best Melbourne player of a generation.

    • 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?
