So Luke, do you want to play AGAINST Clarry and Tracc for 10 years

It will be a grudge match every time 

Choose your path wisely young man

    Both can stay. It’s not a case of if one leaves the other stays. It’s just individual choices for both of them, but it’s not because the club can’t keep them.

    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.

    Hey Luke, imagine going to Freo and missing out on our next 4 flags :-  Perth wouldn’t be that much fun living with so much regret.

    Anyway just a passing thought LJ.

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
