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.

    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 ??

    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!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
