Farewell Luke Jackson

Lucifers Hero
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Other than not signing his extension yet there has been zero indications that he won't stay. He was looking quite happy training with the other WA recruits in the off season. His parents are even talking about re-locating here.

I think the days of fretting over players re contracting are over for a while

    Wonder if hes put talks on hold again? Worrying silence on this, don't want it to be a distraction all year.

    Nothing ever gets announced at Tennis time...

    If he has signed on the big announcement will happen when the footy kicks into gear from next week on.

    not like we'll be getting a spare packet of chips for him

    by the end of the 2022 season he could be a two-time premiership player

    He probably wants a holiday house near a beach to entertain his Demon team mates. Nothing wrong with that!

    So Jackson is the only player that belongs to a successful east coast side. My wifes second cousins mistress told me that can't be true.

    Long term deal has been put in front of him, talks on hold.

    Because I have no doubt West Coast are working on a god father offer for LJ. They need a star after Nic Nat retires in 2-3 years whilst Freo don't really need him as much due to their young star ruck in Sean Darcy.

    We'll be doing extremely well if we can get LJ on a long term deal. Extremely well.

    Unless he's seen at the airport in a WCE T-shirt, going over to Perth to "inspect the facilities", nothing to worry about.

    Unless his old man gets a job as a recruiter for WCE, nothing to worry about.

    Running back to Perth didn't work out too well for Jessie - I think Luke knows he is in a very special place right now

    The core of this premiership team can enjoy sustained success and get handsomely paid too along the way If they stick together

    Plenty of examples of characters that chased the $$$'s only to be disappointed - its not all about money IMO

    Mods, can we change 'underway' to 'NOT finalised' until they are? I keep coming in with an expectation of movement (and in the right direction!) 😏

    If Jack Darling retires which is looking that way, this will open up huge cap space for the Eagles.

    It might be that he sees himself living in Perth for the better part of his career as his priority rather than just money or playing in successful sides, and that his parents have moved over to help him through some issues.

    I'm predicting he'll sign a 2 year extension. Same as Clarry. They, or their managers, like to keep their options open.

    Having said that, hopefully the flag (or hopefully) 2 ... or more would make a difference. Like Jee-long and Richmond players who signed on for 'unders'.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
