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 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’ 😑

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      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.
