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?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
