Trac letting Darcy know that next year he’ll be Freo’s number 2 Ruckman to a guy who has more flags than the entire Freo list combined. 

Interesting that Darcy didn’t want any part of the aggro against him, after the back tap on Tracc.

    Noticed that! 

    Players would know Trac is one of the fairest players going around, who rarely wastes his energy agitating. 

    It was almost like Darcy had conceded “yeah I probably shouldn’t have done that”

    Trac is also an absolute beast. i wouldn't be surprised if despite his size. Darcy was a little bit intimidated.

    Disappointing if he is just running after the money. I guess it's of course his choice.

    Based on last night's performance Freo are really far off being a contender.

    How good was it seeing Melksham pull that jumper down last night? Arrogant supporters acting like it’s a done deal.

    If he has to go I hope he goes to the Eagles now, and plays a blinder in every Derby.

    Why is everyone slamming this? Waving a Freo jumper with Jackson no.6. Its clearly fake so what did they expect?

    You do know where his family and mates live, don’t you?

    I never buy the narrative of 'homesick', FFS we live in 2022 not 1970. You are just a 3 hour flight from home. Not saying it is not a contributing factor but most definitely the money weighs more into the decision.

    The accepted view seems to be that he would stay a couple of years if no deal can be done. It is an opportunity for him to go home and play for the club he barracked for.

    IMO we have been pragmatic and started looking at what we can get out of it, rather than keep him for a couple of years and go through all of this again for another year.

    We can really  plug some list holes if we are smart.

    Didn't he barrack for the Weagles? I thought his idol was Nic Nat

    His family are connected with the Dockers and their WAFL club.

    That's just complete guesswork otherwise why use qualifiers like "at a minimum..." and "plus" twice.

    You're a clown, Jay. At least stick to the fee of 850k or the term of six years.

    Jay Clark clearly doesn't realise that, if you do a backflip, you end up exactly where you started from.

    In other words, your position has not changed.

    If you're reading this Jay, don't feel too bad.  It's a very common mistake among "journalists".

    For better or worse loyalty is not a thing to the kids coming through these days. They grow up watching NBA & NFL where players, the champions too, regularly change sides. 

    The difference being that in the NFL or NBA top draft picks usually play at the very least 5 or 6 years with the teams that picks them.

    I suppose when Ron went to Carlton he wasnt actually a kid.

    Will be really interesting to see how Jackson goes at Freo next year when he doesn’t have Gawn mentoring him. Jackson is still learning the craft and this is a massive thing in my eyes where u learn from the best. 

    Our team is far superior to Freo and with Jackson going on big money (by all reports) will come with massive pressure to perform. He will be the no1 ruck i assume where as he is no2 now  so less pressure  

    Good luck with feral Freo supporters Jacko.

    These days? This has been going on well past this generation. Let's not make out that it's today's issue. For every Luke Jackson there's a Clayton Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw who've pledge their loyalty to this club. Not counting other players from other clubs who've done the same.

    Jeff White, Ron Barrasi, Tony Lockett, Kelvin Templeton, Jeff Farmer, Gerard Healy.. I can keep going?

    That was a shocking thing Ron did, blind-siding the whole club.

    Peter Bell never learns. I sent him an email about the Fremantle acquisition of Hogan and he replied that they thought they had a really good player. They got next to nothing out of Hogan despite him growing up a Freo fan. Doesn’t the Jackson situation look kind of similar?

    The only people commenting on it are flogmantle nuffies and e-grade journos who are desperate for things to write about.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
