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.

    ‘Jackson on cusp of godfather deal’

    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’ 😑

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are on the road for the next month and will be desperate to claim a crucial win to keep their finals hopes alive against Port Adelaide.

    • 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?
