    You were booted off here last time you posted rumour and innuendo.

    Do it again and there'll be no coming back under a different name.

    But I'm sure the 'real story' is fascinating.

    This thread should be over and out. Please.

    He's gone. There's no more to say. He is no longer one of us.

    Luke Jackson showing signs of his 2021 GF form according to The Age. Looks like that mystery knee niggle has been sorted out.

    “Luke Jackson was everywhere for the Dockers in his debut, sharing ruck duties with Sean Darcy, kicking a goal, and spending time behind the play in defence. He won the ball off the ground after a centre bounce and handballed to fellow recruit Jaegar O’Meara who speared a kick onto the chest of Nat Fyfe on the lead”

    So just like Chip, he mailed in his games knowing he was leaving. Say what you like about Danger, he played his heart out with the Crows knowing he was out the door.

    I watched the first q of the freo crows game.

    Jackson played pretty well. As wxpected Darcy was number one ruck, but Jackson probably played about 40% in the ruck.

    Did some nice things when the ball hit the ground.

    Played forward mostly when not rucking.

    Marked on the chest leading out from full forward.

    And from 30 kicked gun barrel straight for a goal.

    Which was when the penny dropped he was no longer a Demon player!

    Points of order. He wasn't THAT amazing in the GF. And 'He was everywhere' may simply mean he was tried in lots of positions, so need to panic yet. On a brighter note, Freo lost.

    and i bet he's:

    • training the house down
    • never been fitter
    • settling in well
    • helping the kids
    • bring his premiership experience
    • looking forward to having an impact
    • loving all the boys.

    We played Frawley up forward and, I am told, we didn’t try very hard to keep him knowing we wanted to get ND3 as compensation. Much prefer to have had Brayshaw.

    If you take off the spectacles of bitterness, it is not unusual that a player who was hampered with injury for a large part of 2022 has been able to return to full fitness over the offseason and perform well in the first practice match of 2023.

    Some people just can't get used to the idea that a Melbourne player would wish to leave us, despite the fact that players leave every club every year.  We just  picked up three new faces in this very manner.

    Typical game from the overrated forward- ruckman.

    Did a couple of very nice things as a ruck-mid but next to stuff all besides an uncontested mark/goal as a key forward which is where Freo will play him for 70% of each game.

    +1 on the PM/DM plz. Surely we should be able to post rumour and/or innuendo on here as long as it confirmed as such? I don’t get the big issue.

    Agreed on both points.

    1) the legend of his third quarter artificially grows by the day. He got a couple of possession and maybe 1 or 2 clearances as well giving away 1 or 2 fees. I can think of a few players that had far more influence in the 3rd quarter of the Gf.

    2) He was everywhere on Friday night because technically he played in various nominal positions.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.
