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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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?

      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.
