$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

    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..

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
