    Disagree. If he played for a VIC based team he would get alot more kudos. Very good player imo

    To a club in the Window that needs a proven tall I'd say early 2nd round.

    Just having a post round chin wag with mates on Whatsapp, and I said that Jackson will take over the mantle from Brodie Grundy as the most overpaid player in the AFL next year. One of my mates who is a real estate agent in Perth posted a picture of a house that sold for $1.74m, and the own is Luke Stephen Jackson. He said that Jacko bought the house for his mum. 

    Now that doesn't confirm that Jacko will leave, but my mate also added that Jacko's mum had mentioned to a guy in his office that Jacko will return to Perth. Again, no guarantee that he'll return next year, but will at some time.

    I won't upload the pic because it's too intrusive on the Jackson family.

    Except that Luke's middle name isn't Stephen.

    Nah sorry I got nothing at all to back that up!

    He's probably gone but that's in October. In the meantime we still have a flag to win so I don't feel any less enthusiastic watching him play.

    I get that feeling he is probably a goner. Not playing great of late there is no real incentive, just going through the motions. If Dockers/Eagle want to severly overpay him then so be it. He has definelty won us some games in 2021 but this year you hardly notice him at times.

    With all this talk of 198cm Bliclavs taking out Petracca & Cripps in successive weeks. I was thinking perhaps if we meet Geelong again, we can try a tactical shift of the 199cm ruck rover Dogga on Bliclavs, Gawn in ruck, Viney/Oliver in tight. Petracca up forward. If TMAC can get back then it won't make us deficient for size up forward either.

    Wrong far too low. Remember a First around No3 Draft Pick who won the Rising Star  and turned games in his first season inc. the Grand Final. Have you forgotten last year.

    Is  a Premiership player and ability at his age is far in advance log other 20yo ruck recruits.

    Although  he has not had quite the impact this year he has had a solid season and by his nature contributes to the team as a whole, 

    Still the best 20 yo ruck now and potentially also forward.

    Deserve a Top 10 pick say 8-10 at least.as compensation plus a player Logue would be my choice for his versatility and key position attributes.

    But did he say which contract?

    Luke has a crack, I thought he had a real go on Sunday. Sadly, his output is not as great as we need. He was really good against the Lions. Then his knee injury and the last couple weeks, like Gawn have been clearly hampered a bit. 

    But he is more gone than Max is Gawn. Its not about him staying, its about what we get now. One thing I am confident in is that Luke will give his all until there are no more games, and I think his impact in September will be great, So I am behind him, I have been through the stages , denial, wrath, sadness.. now its acceptance.. He is a Dee until he isn't.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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?
