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.

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

    You clearly missed the irony and the laughing emoji.

    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’ 😑

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
