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.

    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.

    You're so pessimistic!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
