Far out. He is going from $200 to $700. Surely he can put a deposit down for a house for his parents now!

More to do with his brother than his parents.

    Lots of people overseas refer to it as AFL. Gives me the $h*!t$...

    In Western Australia they call it AFL a lot. Seen lots of local clubs put signs at sporting grounds advertising for players to play AFL and they call themselves “AFL” clubs rather than Australian Rules Football clubs.  Then again, many out west and east consider Western Australia as a seperate country.

    Very close to his family, in particular his brother.

    In essence, our offer isn't that much different from Freo's. 

    Freo - $7m over 6 years + $200k x 1 year equates to $1.03m per year over 7 years = $7.2m

    Dees - $4.1m over 5 years. If his salary in years 6 and 7 increases to $1.3m = $6.7m

    But my question is, how do we fit an extra $500k into this years cap? Or will it be extrapolated over years 2-5.

     

    but you are assuming the figures above have any truth in them   ("got the mail from my mate in wa" yeah sure, must be right)

    So get his brother a job in Melbourne. Jacko can buy a house, they can live together.

    Unless his brother is in mining, it wouldn't be too hard to pull some strings and get him settled here.

    Maybe his brother doesn't want to move to Melbourne?

    Wonder what the endorsement market would be worth to a player like Jackson in WA.

    What are the rules on having a guaranteed right to be traded if asked. Say... you will trade if I ask at the end of year 3 to a club of my choice in return for a draft pick in the first ten.

    Add that clause into a three year deal of say $550k per year and everyone's happy

    Not sure why he wouldn't.... being from Perth it is a pretty boring place for a bloke in his early 20's.

    Glad I moved to Melbourne!

    Dogga didn’t do much to claim a big payday on today’s performance. Or last week’s for that matter. Very ordinary, I thought.

    Last night I spoke to someone very close to Luke Jackson that told me "he's definitely not leaving Melbourne".
    Can't say anymore than that, I don't care if people question my legitimacy. You can take it or leave it, I'm not fussed.

    I have no concerns with Jacko leaving atm and I'd say he is weighing up whether to go for a 2/3 year deal or the full 5 year deal.

    His manager would know that his overall pay packet is more than just the salary he receives from the club. If he wins more flags the players get bonuses, plus the exposure of playing in big finals will bring about great marketing opportunities for him.

    The other benefit is being in the largest footy state in the country, which furthers his profile.

    Jackson knows that if he stays at the deees, he could win 2 more premierships. 

    He understands what's required and he has the desire. What more motivation does he need to re- sign ??

    More pineapples on the contract.

    I just can't see him leaving a top club right in their premiership window that's absolutely full of young blokes of a similar age group.
    Be a fun place to be right now.
    Doesn't strike me as a bloke motivated by coin.

    Always gets me how the seppos call their domestic competitions ‘World Series’, their comps don’t even take in a whole continent.

    It was named after the sponsor "The World", which was a newspaper at the time.

    Only two? 

    You're so pessimistic!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
