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.

    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'.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
