Had an impressive 2 marks for the 2022 finals series.

The most overrated player I’ve seen at the Melbourne Football club since Michael Newton.

    Surely Freo and WCE will reassess and he’ll stay at Melbourne. But maybe then we won’t be afraid to drop him when he deserves it.

    Originally it was 2x first rounders. But he’s value has dropped and he’s lost all sense and smarts in his game. “Captain fumbles”. In the air and on the ground. So much potential.  So very very disappointing.  I’ll feeling I’ll.
    I’ll take whatever we can get. 
    Freo 1st round 2022 and Freo future 2nd round 2023 for Jackson.

    Brutal lol.

    I thought he was horrible last week but tonight he was just a genuine liability. 

    Thanks for helping us with the flag dogga.

    Enjoy family time.

    Jackson is a gun, and will be absolutely elite for the next 10 years. He is only 20 years old, and big players take longer to mature. This year was a wake up call to coaches, players and supporters. Next year will be different.

    I would not change our list much at all, albeit, playing J.Smith and JVR up forward, and rewarding more Casey players for good games. 

    Jackson is a lock for us.

    Is very clearly struggling with injuries. 
    If he stays I will be delighted. If he leaves I’ll be absolutely furious.

    i'll be disappointed more than furious

    i think he's got the potential to be a unique player but having had a knee niggle for two of his three seasons in football is a clear concern

    can't believe freo are likely to jettison three players in their semi-final side - acres, lobb, logue - to be able to bring him in

    Thank you Jacko for the memories.

    Get the picks in and get to work JT.

    We need Talls who take clean pack grabs.

    He is not overrated. He is a young kid that the media and our own supporters pumped up to stupid levels of expectation of a young ruckman.
    He hasn’t been good for a while, but this kid has a lot of potential. In 5years time we will lament the fact he is no longer with us.

    I truly hoped he would stay, and I don’t look forward to watching him play against us in the years to come.

    No chance we get 3 first round draft picks for a player that is such a poor mark of the football.

    That’s a better deal than GWS got for Jeremy Cameron, and Jeremy Cameron is pretty much the best player in league football at the moment and a far more proven quantity than Jackson.

    With relation to Lobb, he’s the sort of player we should he targeting. A genuine forward that can ably pinch hit in the ruck as opposed to a ruck that doesn’t have any forward craft such as Gawn and Jackson.

    If they are going to pay him the price they have asked, you will have push for compensation.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
