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 on the other hand looked in ripping nick. 

    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.

    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.

    Now that's drawing a long bow!  Coleman last played about 70 years ago.  :D

    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.

    • 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?

      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?
