Luke who? 
 

Dogga the man when he has finished his career and we look back at his efforts in 2021 and that 3rd 1/4 in Sept. 
 

akuna Matata 

I think the legend of LJ and the 3rd qtr of the grand final is well and truly overstated 

I’m not suggesting he isn’t a talent - he is but the 3rd qtr was all about our midfield he did handball to Clarry for one goal but having watched it several times it was all about Trac , Clarry and Viney imo

    may the tales and reputations-made in that 9 minute burst grow wildly as we age. There is no place in this world for pragmatic debate about that small period of wondery.

    Weeds two biggest highlights at the dees - the three goals in the third quarter of the 2021 GF and the fifteen goals he kicked in the 2018 finals.

    It’s been said several times throughout the year but was staunchly defended by some on DL that are probably for the first time coming to terms with this.

    Hang on, myself @Bring-Back-Powella few others have been quite vocal about this several times throughout the year but have been blasted by others for saying so.

    People only now realising this because he's in opposition colours?

    Some just cannot pick and choose when they want to wear their rosy red and blue glasses..

    Maybe but it highlights his strength and why he’s valued so highly. His ability at ground level for a player that size is rare. We have only seen glimpses of it at this stage

    No doubt he hit a hot streak in the 3rd even Gawn acknowledged this.

    It was not dissimilar to Stewy Dee’s 5 minute burst in the 3rd quarter of the 2008 Grand Final

    A certain prolific poster around here even went to the point of putting me on ignore because he wouldn't accept my view that Luke Jackson was NOT the sole reason we won the 2021 grand final.

    He was instrumental in that magical minute before 3 quarter time no doubt. However there were a few players who were more influential throughout that third quarter.

    Someone like a Bailey Fritsch should've been getting more of the credit than LJ. He was the one that kicked the two goals when we looked dead and buried.

    Correct.

    That third quarter was won because of 4 players. Trac, Clarry, Viney and Fritta.

    The first three went beast mode and the last nailed the goals. 

    We would have won that game even without Jackson, but we don't win it without the above 4. They were the real heroes.

    Viney was involved in each goal in that short period.

    Maybe not "buried", but I had basically conceded in my mind, after the Bont goal, that put them 3 goals up half way through the third. Another goal to them then and who knows.

    we all see it differently. i never got worried. at the time dogs had biggest lead we still had more scoring shots and had missed some gimmes. we had a record in '21 of finishing strong and we never got out of touch in the gf

    too many nervous nellies.

    Picked up the Melbourne 2023 calendar and who is in it? LJ. 

    Those calendars shouldn't be released until trade period finishes.

    Certain people on here neglect to see that it was Jackson who got first use of the ball, so Jack viney and Co had room to do their work  during the 3rd Quarter and refuse to give credit.

    History has primary sources and secondary sources. As time disappears into the rear view mirror the perspectives alter. As Chancey Gardener observed you can’t beat being there.

    Before Luke Jackson went into the ruck late in the third quarter. We could not get our hands on the ball enough to do anything effective to respond to the Bullies hold on momentum.

    Jackson was the spark that lit the fuse, the pendulum began to swing our way the rest is history.

    Post doesn't have enough Angus Brayshaw - without his 3rd quarter there is no flag.

    Watched those 7 goals that turned the game from mid 3rd quarter to end of 3rd q and Jackson would be 5th most important, and several of the centre goals Luke was ineffective, but our mids still got it back... 

    I recommend watching it again. Just for pure enjoyment of it.

    Jackson had 1 hitout and 1 goal assist for the entire 3rd quarter.

    Again, a very overstated performance by some on here regarding him being that important link..

    Max Gawn wouldn’t agree with you there Daz, and you are a very astute Footy observer

    Seen it many many times Clarry, and will continue to do so

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
