I'm struggling to understand why I was attacked for saying what several hundred pages of this thread have been saying: That Luke is going. Did Luke sign a contract between the final siren and now or something? If not then pull your heads in.

The mood on this forum has been feral today and a few posters have gone the man rather than the ball today, no doubt about it.

Definitely some bullies on Demonland, without naming names.

hmm.


Lobb and Logue could be packaged to the Dogs for hopefully something decent in return.

Would be a decent scoop for them but why more forwards?

 

Think someone mentioned that exit interviews are on Tuesday? With freo out we will know relatively soon what his intentions are.

Because Naughton is going to request a trade to the Demons. I made this up but let’s spit ball it.

His mums a Carlton supporter, so she’ll force him to go there.

Tell me who and where...

Oh? I figured by posting  'Bye Bye Jackson' in a thread specifically detailing Luke Jacksons Contract, where there has been no formal concrete information, that it inferred you knew something. My mistake.

Not while Casey are in the finals.


Must be tough for the kid, especially to leave off the back of that end to the year and his performance. Not going to do much for his personal brand.

Fair enough. No, it was just a knee jerk feeling that he'd played his last game for us but that's a stupid thing to say according to the high and mighty police who are always correct.

Don't worry what others think, Lazyie.  I thought it was funny🙃

Thought I would do a 'What they are saying at Cockburn' piece for Jackson.  From Bigfooty after Friday night's game

The Doubters:

  • **** I hope we win so we can delay the inevitable by a week.
  • Oh dear. I was on the yay-train. Now I’m on the WTF-train. Lotta draft capital and lotta coin going out the door. Hope he’s worth it when he’s no longer 20 years old.
  • Why does he have to double grab everything
  • If we want someone to drop marks, lay tackles and almost get a clearance we've already got Logue for that.
  • Yeah, there is some scary bust potential here…
  • Please renege Please I beg you!!!!Fremantle don't do this I!!! The guy is not Pick 20 and 400k on present form.
  • Need to keep much of the depth as possible. Not Lobb, Logue, Acres, Meek leaving and have what? Jackson and a few second rounders in? We go back to the start and have to regenerate.
  • People aren't overreacting over one game, they're reacting over a very, very ordinary season with two pathetic finals performances
  • It’ll be a ****ty look if 3 or 4 players go and Jackson comes in with a fat contract. He’s a basketball player trying to work out how to play AFL ffs
  • He looked to have injured his PCL before the Port game. Usually it's a 12 to 16 week injury.  Kept playing.
  • Jackson is now worth a first and some change…can’t see West Coast splitting 2, especially given the Rioli trade will net them a second...just let it play out take it or leave it

Some support:

  • I just don’t understand that people are ok paying more than 500k to Logue who has reached his peak, but Jackson who has an massive upside is worth less than that?   …   He'll be coming to Freo and we'll wait until we receive actual figures and the deal before jumping at shadows, but I'm very much still in the grab this opportunity basket.
  • People comparing meek to Jackson in terms of output can’t be serious, when meek was a 20 year old he was running round at Peel reserves and looked positively useless.
  • I’m firmly in the bring jackson in camp.  He will definitely improve dramatically as he gets to age 24, 25.  Very few talls his age are the finished product. Actually none.  Max Gawn didn’t play AFL till he was 23!
  • I could see flashes of Jackson’s agility and ground level ball winning ability last night and it was very good.  I think he will easily become an $800k player in time.  We have to remember however that he was a Nab rising star winner last year and is a KPP.  I think we would have come in with maybe $750k over 5 years.
    • Here’s a question:
      • Luke jackson for 7 years at $750k
      • Tim Taranto for 7 years at $750k
  • The fact that Jackson is already out on the paddock in a contenders side at his age is enough evidence alone that we’re dealing with a very special talent. Turns 21 later this month and has more development left in him than Serong (given his tougher position). You don’t look such gift horses in the mouth.

My Favourites: 

  • Doesn’t matter what we think.
    • Clearly you were born to inhabit chat sites.
  • What I've really enjoyed this year is the almost complete lack of whipping boys. Sure, a few blokes have copped it here or there but in general, we don't have any spuds regularly getting games…Then we drop wages on Jackson that presumably make him our 2nd/3rd highest player and you can just see him slotting straight into that role.
    • Can you become a whipping boy before you even put the jumper on?
      • On the Freo board you can
    • Geez, if we’re eating him and spitting him out now, can you imagine what the West will do to him if he unde rperforms?

Paywall so I can’t read it, anyone give the jist if what’s he says? Prob just a headliner grab but the irony if h3 is having a go at vics leaving whilst being into Dogga from day 1…

Whilst he has games where he is a true game changer, I'm now in the camp where I'd like him to go. 

Securing two first rounders at this point in our journey with our flag window still wide open could be just what we need (presuming we don't stupidly spend one on Grundy). 

Put simply - if someone offers you two first rounders for your backup ruck, you take it. 

I'm not sure his ceiling is all that higher than we've already seen. He'll get more consistent no doubt, but I think we can probably replace 70% of his output with a 2nd stringer ruckman from elsewhere.

Just saying he wants an answer soon re: Rory Lobb (Western Bulldogs) and out-of-contract pair Blake Acres (Carlton) and Griffin Logue (North Melbourne) are all exploring their options and have been linked with Victorian clubs.

Then: Longmuir was less willing to engage about the Dockers’ interest in Jackson, saying it was not “the right time to be talking about it”.

No mention of Meek as the other 'wantaway'?

Nah, no mention of him in that article.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
