One mark in a semi final.

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.

    • 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.
