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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
