Farewell Luke Jackson

When we do play Freo, it would be greatly appreciated if they could wheel our Peter Bell very once in a while so we can get our booing needs sorted on him, instead of Jackson.

I really, really don't hate Jackson. He's just a simple young guy who loves his mum.

Also possible he wanted to move back to the west so he could check to make sure the sun wasn't boiling all the water when it went down each day.

    It has come to my attention today that Luke Jackson recently adopted a puppy who is both the same breed and has the exact same name as our dog. 
    All is now forgiven 😂

    When we got the dog I wanted to call him Oliver but my husband said no, even though he’s a ginger dog. 
    He is a real princess tho… the dog not Oliver

    Sometimes you only realise how much you loved, after you leave.

    And we are a lovable bunch.

    "I've seen you before. Do I know you?"

    "Yeah Dogga, I used to play for the Dees."

    "What? Nah mate. *I* used to play for the Dees."

    "Yeah, so did I. Hunty. Remember?"

    "Hun--  what did you call me? Youse fuggen ..."

    "Never mind. Enjoy the win."

    From today's Age . Interesting if true...........

    There were even more fanciful suggestions around what ex-Demon Jackson might command in his move to Fremantle, with one report tipping a seven-year contract worth $10.5 million in totality. The seven seasons stuck throughout the trade period, with the speculated money dipping to about $900,000 per year.

    However, a well-placed source confirmed to Money Talks that Jackson, who is enjoying a career-best season with averages of 15 disposals, 1.1 goals, 13 hit-outs and four tackles, accepted a five-year deal until the end of 2027.

    There is much in this article that will rile D'landers. freak-of-nature-why-anything-is-possible-for-unique-fremantle-star-luke-jackson

    The part that caught my eye was:  "...Jackson owns a Cavoodle named Bear..."

    @Jaded No More  Did Jackson steal your pooch...your post from the 'Puppy' thread...

    Bear also has his own Instagram… and he now follows your toy poodle

    I was told by as strong a source as you can imagine that Jackson had told people at our club in early June 2022 that he was going to re-sign. This meeting at Crown must have been what changed everything.

    It certainly reads that way. 

    It helps explain why his efforts seemed half-hearted for the second half of the season.

    It's interesting though that so far we haven't missed a beat without him and they haven't improved with him.

    It sure does.

    This article makes it seem like Goody/coaches pigeonholed him and didn't have the belief that Longmuir did. He was made our primary ruck in the second half of a grand final over our captain and greatest ever ruckman (Sorry Jim).

    Yeah, I didn't like how that was written.  He played all the roles Longmuir outlined for him when with us and tbh I've not seen much different in his time at Freo, except that he replaced Darcy for an extended time.

    It plays down that he just wanted to go home.

    Anyway he is gone.  We move on and with a bit of luck we will be this year's premiers and he won't be!!

    Must admit, I haven't watched Jackson all year and was quite shocked he made the AA squad. What has he done this year to justify that?

    • 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.
