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.

    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.

    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..

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
