    The five stages of Demonland grief as applied to Luke Jackson:

    1.  Denial:  Dogga isn't going anywhere.  He'll re-sign and be a Demon for life.  He's a premiership star.

    2.  Anger:  How dare Luke go back to W.A.?   He clearly knew this was going to happen all season.  He's so                        disloyal and ungrateful to MFC and as for his mother ...

    3.  Bargaining:  Well, at least we'll get some great draft picks in return and he did help us win the flag                                          (although he didn't really do that much in the third quarter)

    4. Depression:  Can't believe we didn't get much in return for him.  Don't think he was really trying in 2022,                                  either.  Was he actually injured or had he already checked out mentally?

    5.  Acceptance:  Jackson wasn't that good anyway.  He'll just be ordinary at Freo.  Good riddance.  Luke                                        who?

    I’ve lost track of where we are at in this thread.

    Suffice to say he is gone and we move on.

    As far as the reasons he left, hopefully for the last time, they were:

    Family.

    Huge contract.

    Living back in home city.

    Playing for team he and his family support.

    So, good luck LJ and bad luck Dockers, or put another way, have a fair year LJ in a poorly performing club.

    Very good Demonstone. 

    Very good indeed.

    Luke is past tense. Goodbye, have a good life. Am so sick and fed up with this . It's like a divorced man having fancy for the wife who left him for another. Buona sera, si Signore, off you go, have a good life, I hope his mum's recipes are not what he cracked them up to me.

    Ich habe genug. E basta. Nuff is Nuff. Arriverderci, good riddance, Tom Scully says hi...

    +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.  

    Legal action is a pretty big issue.

    Yes it is. Not sure how it relates to a potential motivation for someone to leave one club and join another though - but without seeing the scenario, its hard to comment.

    Don't bother with a PM my way.

    If you'd said to me in 2013 that we'd have a No. 3 draft pick come our way, he'd play a big part (no rose coloured glasses here) in winning us a grand final and then he'd be gone, I'd have taken it in a heart beat. I'll always be thankful to him for that, but I have no interest in what he does now or the macchinations as to why he wanted to go.

    AND... the no 3 pick who helped us win a GF then turned into 2 x 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder, and we also gained a 2 x AA replacement ruck for about the same as LJ would've been paid....

    Holey moley!

    The profit and loss sheet might look good but the speculation and his indifferent form last season somewhat help derail our core business which was focused on going BTB.

    On Jackson, I'm firmly of the view we are a better team with Grundy in it than with Jackson - at least for the next 2-3 seasons (Jackosn will be crazy good when he hits his peak in his mid 20s, still four years away).

    So, i wish the young fella luck - and i hope he enjoys watching the Dees leave Freo in our wake. And doesn't struggle too much with regret. Such a negative and exhausting emotion.

    I also hope he copes ok with moving to freo with the expectation of spending more of his time in the ruck than he did at the dees (coz he is on record as saying that's where he most enjoys playing) - only to play the exact same role as he did at the dees - a forward and back up ruck to a clear number one ruck.

    He will also have to cope with the irony of knowing if he had stayed at the dees he would likely have got way more ruck time given the dees want to give Maxy much more of a chop out this season - not to mention the chance of a adding a second flag to his resume,

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
