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.

I honestly thought they were going to announce an extension haha

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.

Code for becoming a West Coast Eagle?

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’ 😑

Freo are a worry - however their tall stocks are in good nick

WC are going nowhere fast, not an attractive club to go to at this stage

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
