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: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
