$12 M for 8 years...

I think that would be the highest ever

Buddy was around $10M for 9 years

Not impossible if you punt on a 30-50% uplift in the slary cap over the next 8-10 years.

Won't happen this time around but in 2 years.. who knows

If he does end up dominating the competition that price could look cheap in 8 years.

    Do I hear $20 million for 10 years, the bid is with you?

    Josh obviously thinks Jacko is so versatile he can play about 4 positions on the ground simultaneously 

    He will have to because at this rate we can't afford to field another 21 players

    I think 'Josh' honestly needs to take the bus from now on. It looks like a take from a 10 y.o

    The Media must be so peed off with how good this bloody team is, never heard such a bunch of wingers.

    Haven’t read all comments so apologies if I’m repeating what has already been posted.  Obviously Jacko could  potentially be one of the greats and there will be a lot of interest in him from other clubs and no doubt some big dollars being dangled.

    On one hand a footy career in the scheme of things is for a relatively short span of time so I totally get it and don’t begrudge anyone trying to chase and get the big dollars when it is on offer. 

    On the other hand, I hope that some of the current MFC new found culture and values shine through in the negotiations.  Hope Jacko stays and they pay him well (hopefully he accepts less than what others will offer) so that we have dollars left within the salary cap to keep other existing players / fund new talent in coming years. Something along the lines of what I think occurred at Geelong some years ago.

    Wouldn’t it be nice in many years to come that when he retired from the Dees he would not only be fairly rich ( but not as rich as he could have been) but more importantly been part of a most successful era winning several flags along the journey.  What price do you put on a flag?


    Also Jacko would know deep down that the ‘price he paid’  very much helped the club retain / gain new players over the years that ultimately contributed to the club’s success.  That is how dynasties are created by everyone at the MFC actually walking the talk and actually living and breathing the club’s new found values.   What a legacy that would be.  Fingers crossed and GO DEES!!!

    Is Josh the new Cornes? Saying stupid things to get attention knowing he’ll never be held accountable 

    I don’t think Jacko is at Buddy level just yet thanks. Maybe when he is 24 he could sign a mega deal. Just look at the mega deal Grundy signed when he looked unstoppable. He’s been Just average/good since signing 

    too risky to sign a kid on a 10 year deal. Even someone as gifted as LJ

    Over his lifetime he will probably earn more off field than on.

    Without doubt. Especially after he discovers the new planets he is passionate about.

    Probably he’s working for Hutchy.

    In all seriousness though, i would hope we start hearing more regular positive news with Luke. I know people will say it will happen, but we dont want this going well into the last part of teh season and even finals and not have him signed up. I assume he will and have no real fear of him leaving, but getting confirmation will be nice.

    Getting a flag this year would be nice. If we want Jackson then let’s play for him. Winning two flags in a row, and being a part of a young dynasty list, it’s hard to pass up.

    That is why as a side issue, I want the Eagles to improve and finish mid ladder, so there is absolutely no risk of a pre season draft issue.

    Yeah I agree, sadly Nic Nat injury will heighten speculation as well..

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
