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

    Thinking of moving back myself. Renting seems wiser at the moment.....

    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?...

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
