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!

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
