The Perth fish bowl can eat you up and spit you out pretty quick.. just ask Hogan.

Not entirely sure Jackson and his family really took that into consideration when they were pressuring him to come back.

100%. And the Freo fans have a huge chip on their shoulders because of how poor they have been for the majority of their existence and Eagles fans remind them every week.

You could see exactly how it would go when they had jumpers with 'Jackson' on them at our game there last year. Ridiculous.

    Jackson  and Weideman are no longer MFC players I don't wish them ill but some players want to go home or a new start and we cannot judge them after 1 game.

    They will either prosper or fail but they wont be doing it in MFC colours.

    They were bagging him out the moment the trade happened.  That was my biggest worry, that they'd treat him the same way as they treated Hogan. They're vipers at Freo

    Or the way many Dees supporters treated Lever after the trade done for him?

    I hope we don't see the same this year if we play Port in Adelaide... I can imagine those ferals wearing Kozzy jumpers 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    That's an impressively mixed metaphor!

    They're in different situations. Jackson left for money and to go home, the Weed could never really get a run at it and would get more opportunities elsewhere

    I'm not aware of any horrible treatment Lever got from Melbourne supporters.  I for one was massively excited. If there were Melbourne supporters treating him horribly then shame on them.

    As I have pointed out for 10 years here . . . not one player in the last 40 years has gone back to Perth of their own volition and been as successful as they were in Melbourne. Arguably, Wiz came the closest.

    Luke Jackson will be a star of the comp barring injury.

    One off game does not a young tall make.

    Some harsh comments from freo fans.  The other forwards Treacy and Taberner did no better.  Freo had 65 inside 50 for a mere 17 scoring shots.  The ball seemed to ping pong between the 50m arcs.

    So not entirely Jackson's fault.  But I guess with his money and the fanfare around him fans aren't going to look for reasonable explanations.

     

    However, Jackson played 85% game time.  At the dees he usually played about 70% +/-; a 20% increase.  My guess is he isn't fit enough/have the endurance to get through a game. 

    And one wonders where his head is at.  He tuned out last year when he knew he was leaving.  Maybe the same is happening now that he has his long term mega million contract.

    Weed has done himself no favours by taking John Coleman's number 10.

    I'm going to ask Hasleby for this week's lotto numbers.

    That article was written before yesterday's game, and sure enough Jackson went onto to have a game to temper Freo fans expectations for 2023.

    That spin happened so fast there have been dizziness-related concussions.

    I mean, that is Prigozhin level spin there.

    If there was a man capable of not thinking too deeply about criticism, Dogga is that man 😂

    As many others in this thread have said, Fremantle have paid a LOT for potential and will need to be patient. Jackson is still learning his ruck craft & is not a clean mark (always two grabs).  Time will tell.

    Maybe, but they did name the goal kicking award after him.

    That was a fantastic piece of play. He meant that, and delivered it perfectly to Mr Ed. The ball bounced up right on cue

    How many people today do you reckon would have the faintest clue what number Coleman wore?

    There have been eight players since him and before Weid to wear the number ten at Essendon.

    It's like saying that Brodie Grundy has done himself no favours by taking Fred Fanning's number six.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
