I am 100% confident of one thing 

This thread is easily going to make 100 pages before we know what LJ has decided 

We’ve reached 2,000 posts in this thread. If we can get another 4,500 posts we’ll have as many Jacko-contract-posts as Essendon have days since their last final win

Gus has been great, been versatile and filled in on the wing and in defence when we needed him to. A very good servant to the club

But if its a choice between him and dogga then its dogga for me. much higher ceiling

So here’s the pitch. 
“Luke, you can stay at the team that drafted you, that developed you into the rising star, put together a team that helped you win a premiership and looks capable of more, gives you the best ruck mentor in the game in Gawny and has all of your best mates. You can lock in to play with Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Salem for the next four to seven years OR you can go to a West Coast team just starting a rebuild or a Freo team that looks good, but hasn’t achieved anything yet”

If he doesn’t extend for two years he’s pretty silly I reckon.

Yep. Would love both to stay, but if I had to choose to keep only one, it has to be Dogga.

Though I still want Gus to stay.

In contrast here is a lengthy discussion mainly by Mooney and Lewis who are encouraging him to sacrifice the big $ for now as they will come in time.  luke-jackson-analysis-out-of-contract.  It is one of the more considered articles I've seen on his contract. 

Goodwin said in his press conf the club is comfortable with the contract talks and Jackson 'will be paid what he is worth over time...' (or words to that effect).

I have little doubt he will stay and will not get the big bucks in this contract.

There is little point in his going to a mid list club and potentially condemning himself to mid list mediocrity. He can do that in the latter stages of his career when, if it is as successful as we all believe it to be will make him on of the best paid players in the AFL. He has to show that tho consistently in finals and he has to do that in a top club. Neither WA clubs are likely to be that in the next five years.

Pick 2 and a future first from the eagles for Jackson and a future first?

Assuming eagles finish bottom 4 next years, make Jackson worth slightly more on points than pick 1.

Profess to know how this ends ,but in Taylor we trust. I think we owe him that.

Hypothetically could he already already have a satisfactory result in his back pocket on this?

The younger Brayshaw keeps rolling around in my head.

Surely he would want to play with his brother at some point and if he wanted too ,have an at worst, equally compelling case to come home.

Remember, the years are rolling by.

Would Jacko really want to go to Freo for say the cost of young Brayshaw who could be the reigning Brownlow medalist?

l mean what a cross to wear, that could be😳

l think if he has a half decent manager, he stays for two years doesn’t he?

It seems Lobb is all but signed up with the Bulldogs so he wouldn't be part of any trade, if there was to be one.

I still can't get my ahead around why people think Andrew Brayshaw is an option in return for LJ.

Freo absolutely love the guy, he's going to be the future captain and face of the club and is their best player. Freo will say thanks but no thanks and move onto another trade target if Melbourne demand Andrew Brayshaw or nothing.

Serong might be a more realistic target, but once again, Freo will be desperate to keep him and clubs approaching their premiership window such as Freo are buyers not sellers. 

I expect we'll get draft capital in return rather than A grade players and it may involve a third party.

Don't see how Lobb even get's a game at the Bulldogs.

I disagree, he would be a perfect fit for them. 

Similar to our tall set up... 

English = Gawn 

Lobb = Jackson

Naughton = BBB

Marra= Fritta

Bruce = tmac/weid

I want Jacko to stay as much as the next person, but history says that clubs who lose big name players never end up really losing. 

Bulldogs lost Ryan Griffin - flag

West coast lose Judd - Kennedy 

Hawks lose Buddy - Flag

Geelong lose Kelly - look how that's turning out

 

I think if this happens we have to leverage everything we can and get ourselves a star Key Forward... one of Curnow or Mckay? Nick Larkey? and i think if we managed to make this happen then we could come out on top and stil be premiership favourites

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
