Anyone know the Canberra Times' strike rate?

This is in the Canberra Times, article published this afternoon:

"In more good news for the AFL premier, grand final hero Luke Jackson will sign a new deal with Melbourne soon. Jackson, who is contracted until the end of next season, will commit long-term to the Demons.

The West Australian believes his future is in Melbourne and he will be joined by his parents in Victoria."

    Wow, thanks for that.

    I can't believe what I am seeing right now.

    Premierships, superstar players developing before our eyes, AND not looking to go back to their home states (Yes, I'm looking at you Scott Thompson and Jeff Farmer)

     

    I could get used to the new Melbourne.

    The article is from Monday arvo, feels strange if true that no other publication is running with it if true, hopefully it proves correct in the coming days

    Won't we all be beside ourselves if it's correct?

    Thanks adonski.

    Petracca, Oliver, Gawn and Jackson. All once in a generation type players, all in the same team at the same time, and they’re playing for us!

    I gotta throw Lever into that mix as well. He had the best year an intercept defender has ever had in the history of our game

    Story by Howard Kotton, bio from CT website below.  Looks promising.  CT is actually pretty reputable. 

     

    "Howard Kotton has been a journalist for 43 years, working in various parts of Australia and overseas on assignment. He has spent the past 13 years as a senior journalist with the AFL Record"

    I'd rate the Canberra Times ahead of most mastheads in Australia.

    That said, when something is printed in the paper without qualification (an out for the journo, so to speak), you can be fairly confident that they have good info.

    Despite popular opinion to the contrary, explicit falsehoods in the news are very rare.

    All true from what I've heard.

    His folks have been shopping for property in Melbourne, and "long term" is the phrase being used about his extension.

    Must be in for a big payday. Property in Melbourne is a complete joke at the moment. Can't buy a toilet for less than half a million. 

    Great news though!

    It was actually Gary Lyon who told me this during an on air call to SEN

    Hmmm....there's some interesting connections there. Dogga lives with the Brayshaw's. The Brayshaw's are from WA. Gus B holds hands with Danny Frawley's daughter. Danny and Garry Lyon are related, if I'm not mistaken... etc

    His contract will be upwards of $450K so he should be able to buy a house and furnish it, for his parents.

    Sign him up for a decade.  Give him the 2 if he wants it.

    How cheaply can an MFC benefactor rent out a spare Bayside house without it looking dodgy?...

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
