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: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
