His exit left a bad taste  ie his total drop in form after agreeing mid season to leave and then his stark lack of recognition and gratitude for the dees. So… I no longer hope he does deliver. Personally  I hope we thrash them in a final soon preferably  a GF and he recognises the strength of what he left. 

I also hope we thrash Freo but I have no ill will toward Jackson.  I'm indifferent.  And I wouldn't like to see him becoming a whipping boy for Freo fans if he doesn't live up to his contract and the hype. 

He wasn't the only player that didn't give his all this season.  Goodwin said as much after the first semi.

I see him as an immature, not too bright 21 year old.  Having said that I am surprised his manager or someone else didn't ghost write a decent 'thank you' message for him for mfc and its fans.   Sam Weideman set a fine example in that regard.

I'd rather they don't make the finals, if they do let it be bottom 4 of the 8 and out the first week.

No ill will towards Luke but i hope Freo tank next year cos we have their first pick. A bottom 4 finish for them would be great

His Manager threw him to the wolves. What does Luke get fro his 4% or whatever the Management fee is these days.

Nothing much by the look of it.

I'd do a Buddy and leave his manager that did the deal and find someone more suitable to him at his time of life.

Great riposte here . I couldn't figure out how to build his Mum into the comment. Thanks.

Buy seriously he was left to his own devices with zero forethought or prep.  Where is he getting advice from I wonder?

Does anyone know who Manager is ?????    just out of interest?

Been rifling through this thread, trying to take stock. I see we've got up to page 303 (we'd be shooting through the cartridges if this were printed out for a magazine!) So, time to look down the barrel (we seem to be in a spiral here anyway) of giving it the bullet?

I've already seen myself out. And it's sunny at last, btw...

"The Gospel of Luke", deary me.

If The West Australian had only consulted the wordsmiths of Demonland (and tapped into the rollercoaster of emotions screaming out on every page of this voluminous thread) , I'm sure they could have come up with a more memorable headline.

How about "The Gospel of Puke"?

Ok, that was childish.

What about "Dees bent over, Dogga-style"?

Too risqué? (Sorry to all the missionaries out there.)

Or any one of the following:

  • Way to go, Luke, as Dees’ hearts bleat poo
  • Every Dogga has his (pay)day
  • Lukewarm Dee docks, grins then sinks in Freo Harbour with ship full of gold
  • The Jackson 7: monster deal has Luke singing “I’ll be there”
  • The Bell tolls for Dee: behind the secret mid-season meeting (with diminutive, cloaked man in bar) that brought Luke home
  • Mum’s the word: young star unable to articulate reasons of move

Ok, perhaps not.

Maybe "The Gospel of Luke" ain't so bad after all.

I'll see myself out.

 

Dogga will be under the most pressure of any footballer in the State of WA. And they are pretty feral when it comes to under-performance.

 

He is in for a torrid ride

Thanks LH I have been scanning the pages looking for something that LJ wrote acknowledging his time at MFC his teammates, coaches, fitness staff, boot studders, haven’t been able to find anything not even an acknowledgement of the kind words spoken by Kate Roffe. Jeezuz Luke where’s the manners young man I am Sure that the Brayshaws and personal sponsors would be disappointed, hell I am disappointed and I don’t even know you. That is my final word on LJ.

I’m sure Luke will acknowledge the MFC once he unlatches from his Mother’s teat.

Are you serious?

He got him back home, to the club he followed and wanted to play for and $7m approx, over the next 7 years.

You're right about Footywire, usually bang on

Just had a look. They have jaeger on there for 2023 but he definitely signed a 4 year deal. 

I wonder if they're not making it public because of the scrutiny. Seems very weird to lure over such a high profile, expensive recruit and not know how many years its for. And when they asked him during his press conference and he deflected it onto his management. Just seems very strange.

Yeah that one is certainly a blind spot.

Fair comment but Its just that I believe the a player's managare, esp for a 21 year old should be providing professional services holistically to help the young lad develop.  he was set up to fail in this case.

A drovers dog could have got Luke's deal done given the circumstances. The easiest cash he will have earned off Luke for some time.

Juxtaposed with Liam Pickering's fantastic effort for Buddy years ago - even though Buddy let him go afterwards.

He left a short message on Instagram. I think that will be it

 

Mockingly (probably unintentionally because I doubt he thought about how it would look) in a Dockers jumper.

Could have posted any number of photos of him with the Premiership cup when he thanked the club with his one line.

I thank him for his time but do not wish him well. He is now the enemy and whilst I will not boo him I do hope he gets roughed up a bit and that he earns every dollar he gets.

Feel for him, the pressure is going to be immense. Easy when the whole team is playing well, harder when you are the highest paid player and have to perform each week.

I am hoping the pressure gets too much over there and he requests a trade back to the MFC in 3-4 years time. 
Kate Roffey said as much at The B&F

luke who? oh. that guy in perth who's carrying the whole weight of wa on his shoulders now....lol

  • 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?

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
