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.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
