Yes, let's see LJ try this [censored] against Nic Nat!

 

Max has been out-elited by the young gun

Jnr Mac

LJ got 3 votes for his game vs Eagles in R 21 so that means he was better than Nic Nat!! 
Any player  can beat another in any given dual let's face it but all day for votes and winning the game is the test.

    Every time a new term for an high level player or skill is coined, it slowly loses its meaning as its definition is softened more an more. It used to be 'excellent', 'brilliant' and 'star', until people were using those terms for every hack that played more than 15 games in a year.

    'Elite' didn't exist as a rating 10 years ago, and it probably won't be used in 10 years' time as someone will popularise a term that is even higher than elite to define players that even surpass the level of .... *checks notes* .... Jack Scrimshaw.

    Adam Schneider was recently referred to as an AFL “legend”.

    The accolades really get thrown around loosely.

    Holy moly, you're right. LJ really did get 3 votes against West Coast. 

    Can't believe I didn't make a big deal out of it at the time! That's amazing, 20yo ruck. Crazy.

    All I got out of the members brief on this before it froze and died is that Jackson’s contract “will sort itself out”. Whatever the hell that means.

    Jackson signing a new contract deserves a parade and fireworks. Not an announcement on a “live” feed that keeps dropping out

    Just sign him for many years. He could be so good that we can then work out where his best role will be.

    Hope the Eagles focus all their attention and money on securing English. 

     

    The only problem with this is it makes our biggest challenger, the Bulldogs, better.

    You clearly missed the irony and the laughing emoji.

    I was referring to LJ beating Max who Champion data don't regard as elite...

    I watched that game yesterday and noted that both Max and Luke left NN behind a few times. He just does not look fit enough to play out complete games.

    Let me save you the trouble, it's an opinion piece not actually news.

    Nothing to do with him signing, all about how (the authors think) WC and Freo might offer him huge contracts.

    Skip it.

    No secret here

    The money on offer from the West plus the endorsements etc will be enormous.

    I'd be happy with another 2/3 years from Luke.

    He's on his way to being the highest player to date.

    5 year deal in front of him. Club happy for him to settle on a 2-3 year extension while our window is open.

    100% agree.

    Another 2/3 year while we're in our window is key, and if he leaves after that, so be it. 

    Our window's not going to be open forever.

    the article re jackson has appeared in the little paper...

    there's literally nothing to it; just says that melbourne can't afford to lowball dogga as he's the sort of player that freo MIGHT throw a godfather offer at to capture his signature

    my god the herald-sun is an appalling newspaper

    The classification 'elite' would have to be the most meaningless segmenting of players in any comp anywhere in the world. 

    Ugh. Of all the misused/abused words in our beautiful language ‘elite’ is right up there. The worst offender being Richo. I cringe hard whenever I hear him describe a player as having ‘elite hands’ 😑

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
