Football is a tribal sport to me. Put simply, Luke Jackson is now an enemy to me.  GO DEES!

    I hope we hold Freo's F1st and F2nd, death riding them will provide some extra interest next season.

    Consensus from random neutral nuffies on social media is that Melb won this trade easily

    Has he posted a thank you message to the MFC yet? 

    No but he did talk about how it's been his dream his whole life to play for freo. Lovely.

    agree.  those picks will have more worth next year. even it is just pick 12-13 when people know how good the draft is, it will be worth more than now

    Personally I bear no ill will towards the kid. I hope the move works out for him but he’s gone from an understudy at the dees where he could ply his trade away from the spotlight to the fishbowl of Perth where the expectations will be high. No guarantee he’ll succeed

    We’re smack in our window with our core signed up. I’m only interested in how we use our picks to improve the team. We’ll have new players to occupy ourselves with. LJ will fade in the memory soon enough.

    Not too fussed that some people disagreed with my opinion that I am disappointed that the Demons didn't get a better deal for Luke Jackson. I still feel we got screwed over. But it is what it is.

    I think asking Tim Lamb for an explanation is a fair call. He gets paid to make these deals with other AFL Clubs.

    Anyway, it doesn't matter now. The trade has been done. Just gotta move on I guess.

    However, I raise two questions....

    1) Does Luke Jackson's move home to WA make it more likely for the Demons to prefer drafting Victorians? The pull to go back home will always be a factor to be mindful of.

    2) Do we now BOO Luke Jackson when we play against Fremantle? He is a Premiership player for us. I feel sad that he is now a Fremantle player but I am not really angry at him. Family comes first and I respect that.

    Will be real interesting to see how he goes without Gawns support and mentoring. 

    Pressure will be immense to perform and no doubt the Freo ferrals will let him know if he ain’t going well.

    Two firsts and a second with nothing much back is about as good as we could possibly have got really. Now, if only Freo can tumble on down the ladder next year please

    I understand people angst over this but if you don’t think we got fair value then you are kidding yourself.  
    Geelong traded picks 13,15 and 20 for Cameron and got two 2nd rounders back.  Let’s be honest Jackson is  half the footballer.

    Only if you're small minded (not saying you are, SD).  Players change clubs.  It's a fact of AFL life.

    You didn't grasp my point did you.? 

    We hang on to a VFL forward for years but  trade a potential AFL small forward without giving him much of a chance

    BS

    He was no good - move on

    I think we did well out of this? We weren’t using picks 44 or 67. Sure we would have been pushing for norths second but that would essentially be 3 first rounders which is way overs. 
    Let’s hope freo get ahead of them selves and pull a Melbourne 2019 season.

    When can we start saying how he wasn't that good anyway?

    People started that when it looked like he'd leave.

    We got screwed but no one is to blame. Nothing Tim Lamb could have done. Jason Taylor will weave some magic from here. Good chance we trade out of the draft on the night if someone we like the look of isn't there.

     I'll boo Jacko once or twice but my heart won't be in it. His fingerprints are all over our premiership cup.

    I think Jacko was injured so it may have affected his performance this yr.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
