Seeing Jacko live for the first time was incredible. The kid is developing at light speed. If our youngsters continue to grow at the current rate we are in for multiple flags.

I reckon the Taylor/Lamb combo will be revered in years to come. So many hits.

Well thankyou for your comments. I could not find the discussion thread...ย  The words " Yeah, who knows " threw me a bit...

He was referring to Lynch asking about a big 5 year contract โ€” nothing in itย 


Dogga has shown zero signs that he is not happy or wants to leave. There has been not a murmur from his management teamย  or any ambiguous comments implying he might want to leave which you usually here if a player isn't happy.ย His parents were even talking about moving over here.

The whole go home factor is overblown. Aside from Tim Kelly (who let it be known for a least a year he wanted to go home) there have been few examples of players leaving that clubs wanted to keep.

Did anyone see a touch of David Swartz and David Nietz about him last night???

Get him in offer him a 750-850ย  per year deal over 5 years!

WITH BONUSES!!

1 Training scribe behind the Fence with the one and only Picket Fence

2 A night of unbridled indulgence at Uncle Bitter Manor in Romsey

3 A guest appearance as chief Moderator and lord high executioner on Demonland!

C'mon Big fella.. all excellent deals!

Sign here son!!

Everyone's completely overthinking this. He will quit football altogether to become a major league baseballer.

Um I think Basketball was his go?๐Ÿ˜›

He's a swinger??

I simply cannot cope with the thought that Max Gawn, who can be talked about among our greatest all-time players, might end up not even being our best current ruckman. :laugh:

But, seriously, can we give a nod to the big man here - he was working incredibly hard to wear down Witts in particular as well as Chol, both in ruck-wrestling and covering them around the ground.

This was letting Jackson spend a surprising amount of time on ground being comparatively fresh and lurking menacingly (if someone that affable can be menacing) in dangerous places.

Pretty phenonemal little stat - we had two ruck players who played 84% and 83% time on ground. Last week it was Jackson on field for 86% of the game and Gawn was out there for a mind-boggling 97% time on ground.

I don't think there's any ruck combination out there who could go with them for sheer time and endurance, and then there's the talent package as well.

Well they did just agree on a new EBA - do you think thereโ€™s something in it??

As a comparison, Nic Nat, fresh as a daisy in the second quarter of round 1. Needed a break after 6 mins on the ground. 3 breaks that quarter!

LJ's best game for the Dees so far imho

A complete performance from start to finish - our #5 and #6 are both very special players

Be great to see them dominating together for a very long timeย 


Just from the interview, my take was that he is quite happy at melbourne and that he is seriously considering going back west. We certainly have work to do.

It should be quite obvious that his manager is holding back, waiting for LJ to rack up more games like last night, making his price go up and up. It's what any decent manager would do. He will sign but he's in the driver's seat in this deal.

I doubt Christian Petracca, who has significant media training, would openly joke about LJ's contract on TV with him there if he didn't believe he was going to sign. I still believe he will sign, but there's a lot of negotiating still to be done.

This my friends is A-Grade Demonlanding we have going on right here!!

I totally agree.

If there was any sense that Jackson was a risk of not signing there is no way Petracca, who himself has been under contract pressure in the media, would ever bring it up in jest on national TV.ย 

Given Jackson and Trac are locker buddies, I am sure they have chatted about it off line and Jackson has said he is staying and letting his management sort it out. He really doesn't strike me as a kid who has any interest in business.ย 

He looks to be enjoying his football ATM. In career best form, giving a 100% and does not look like heโ€™s bothered by the crystal ball gazing happening around him. Of course we have no clue of whatโ€™s in his head but I take it as a positive sign that itโ€™s business as usual so far. Even if he decides to leave and the club knows about it he will play out the rest of the season because he can help deliver another flag.ย 

I hope his manager is also just keeping in mind what happens to almost every player who goes back to Freo. It very rarely ends well.....

Yes, they end up at GWS

It's the ones we get FROM Freo that are the keepers

Some peak MFCSS in here. Guess for some it never leaves and has to manifest somewhere.ย :goody2:

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
