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

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
