    This is the ridiculous small town scrutiny that Luke will be exposed to if he decided to leave particularly if it involves a mega deal - no idea why anyone would want to carry that gorilla around on your back

    Of course players take time to reach peak fitness, but that doesn't mean they can't contribute from year 1.

     GOOD..........Jackson will see this Perth newspaper spread of him walking through the airport. He will realise this a red light warning of what he can expect if he signs with Freo or WC. Every game he plays will be under scrutiny.

    He'll be photographed in restaurants and pubs.  A living hell.

    Still confident LJ stays with dees.

    Just an afterthought..Jacksons parents will definitely see the full page spread over breakfast. They probably now think its best he stays in Melbourne. Should make for an interesting family conversation before he flies back.

    Cringe WA newspaper thing .....

    That's genuinely funny. Everything about it is so incredibly embarrassing.

    All the other articles on the page actually make the whole thing even better .... WAFL oval conditions, Rory Lobb yawning, 1 year extension for peripheral veteran ..... and even managed to get their contractually obliged mention of Naitanui into the paper. Chef's kiss. 😘

    I hope the “Boo Ban” is enforced and abided by. Moreover, I hope they applaud and cheer for Dogga. 

    Then 9am Monday morning he signs with us.

    Never said they couldn’t.

    Do you think they wrote the story yesterday before Gus signed and were to lazy to change both the type and the photo.

    I kind of hope Jesse Hogan reaches out to him and tells him how hard it is. Not because I want Jackson to stay (although I do) but because of how it hampered Hogans development and his career - you dont want to see a unique talent like Jackson squashed because of the media in an two team footy state, or because of jerks just wanting their 5mins of fame.

    Not knowing the kid, he may actually relish the spotlight and adoration.

    Will be interesting to see how he performs tonight as he's been no better than "good" over the past few weeks.

    Turn it on Jacko. We need a huge game from you tonight.

    Kane Cornes writing in the Western Australian believes Freo are taking a huge gamble on Jackson. He believes the deal is done but questions his value as he is only a ruckman and not much of a forward in his opinion.

    I actually like this. Gives him a taste of what is to come if/when he joins Freo. He may salivate at the prospect of being in the limelight all the time, but all indications thus far is that he probably doesn't.

    If he does go to Freo on the big coin that has been reported and has a year like he has this year, I would expect some journo's to start the questioning on whether it was the right move for Freo. I suppose it can also play out the 'otherway'.

    Can you imagine how awkward that photo would be for LJ today? It’s hard to imagine any scenario where he’s actually happy to see something like that in the paper, and extremely likely he’s quite p’d off by it.

    Its a big game for Luke tonight, given the situation he's set up re-his contract negotiations and the rumours of Freo being in the box seat should he leave.

    A big game by Luke tonight will ensure Freo cough up whats required to get him (i.e. a pick 3+), a poor game and that cough up will become a bit harder for the powers that be at Freo to justify.

    Melbourne will win or lose tonight, irrespective of Lukes form, but due to our ability to recapture our team first footy. Luke having a blinder will be the icing.

    Go Demons

    Are we hoping he plays a blinder and helps us win or has a stinker which gives Freo cold feet?

    Us winning is all that matters.

    PS: Without any injuries of course.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
