    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,

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
