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...


Ok 

1 Is and always will be premiership player!😋

2 Went home for whatever reason and if he has a sheeeit year🤮

BAD LUCK MATE CHOICE YOU MADE

Was just wondering if anyone received one of these mythical PMs? I have serious FOMO issues, so please help a brother out.

Nope, as in no I never got it.

+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!

We all really need to sticky tape this on our mirrors to read each morning.

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,

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
