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.

True.

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.

If only we had more anecdotal evidence to go by.

Would delist 

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!

  • 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?
