$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.

Josh is trying to elevate his profile. Pure click bait comment from him

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

No, but I’d go $10m for 20 years 🤪

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.. 

Scenario.... Jacko goes to WC, First night training, hey this bloke left at drop of hat, so he is here for the money nothing else....not good look.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
