    Get the feeling he will be moving on or am I behind the times and this been stated.

    If he has family there and there's more money all the best.

    At least he helped us win a flag and I'm grateful to him for those 2 minutes of ecstacy in the middle.

    Big loss but as long as Kozzie stays and we are well compensated then what can you do?

    Heard from a reliable source the following: Luke Jackson’s family is pushing for him to move back to WA. Specifically, his mother, who wants him back in WA. Freo may not be able to get the deal done, but the family’s preference is for him to play for Freo and not West Coast. They are heavy in the ear of his manager. It seems the decision to head home is not entirely Luke’s. Take it or leave it. The source is pretty solid though

    Interesting as I think this is what @Grand New Flag also said earlier. wonder if the source is that same person.

    Yep, I will be looking for some apologies from some of our more aggressive DLs on this and the looming trade request from Tomlinson.

    Oh I think he will go as he should, but I don’t trust you or that you know ‘anyone’ and will remind people on here of that.

    Consider it ‘the consequences of your actions.’

    I don't discredit anyone but I'm not going to apologise or thank anyone when Jackson leaves. It will be a bad day enough as it is.

    To be honest, i have not heard this but Interesting audio coming out of the West from Gossage and the guys on 1116 this morning, stating that the needle might have shifted slightly and a 2 year deal at Dees now is not out of the question.

    Take it for what you want..

    It would make sense, giving Freo time to put a good trade package together. In the meantime Dees supporters would have to band together to find the most eligible 21-year-old bachelorettes in the city and throw them in front of Jacko

    Gary Lyon on SEN just said Jacko deal to Freo not done yet. Could possibly sign a 2 yr extension with us  

    This was from someone he knows in the industry but said he didn’t know and it wasn’t from the MFC  He was just passing it on  

    The intrigue continues.

    Third hand reporting - but SEN spoke of a report by Kim Hagdorn that Jackson is increasingly ‘likely’(?) to sign a 2 year deal with Melbourne. I couldn’t ascertain if this was on SEN WA and I wasn’t able to find anything further. 
     

    Apologies if I’ve skewed the wording or taken it out of context, I was multitasking as it came on. 
     

    I still think he’s likely gone.

    i hope he stays just for that very reason.. mind you.. I have been very adamant he is going and still am to be honest, all the while hoping he does not go. So I put my hand up. 

    But i have also been very strong on what gets the deal done and at a minimum what we want Freo cant give us.

    I am not sure who you think you are, do you own this site? Are you DL God? Just apologise and stop abusing me and other poster who have information you don't like.

    It’s because you spoke absolute BS about his mum. Met and spoken to the family on a few occasions and you as on previous occasions in many other threads you’re full of it

    Bloody Hell, just when I was reconciled to being excited by all the new stars we would get from our 8 picks in the top ten I once again have to recalibrate.

    Don't stress, it will be win-win for our club in the end, confident!

    It looks like Dogga wants to do the right thing by Melbourne and won't leave unless the deal if fair all around. I hope the club stick to their guns on this and don;t settle for an average trade. 2 high first rounders is the price

    Grundy, TDK viable options if he leaves but the best outcome is if he signs with us again. I've no doubt about that

    Gary Lyon on sen without mentioning sources said there might be a shift in the move to WA ... hopefully true but possibly managers leaking and trying to extract more from Freo and Eagles ... wouldn't be the 1st time

    There is still no compelling reason for  Jackson to go in my view

    The reality is there are compelling reasons for him to stay

    I really hope he does and I'm as sure as I can be that he will

    Try to Remember Jacko has said nothing and is starting to play some good footy

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
