Yes, let's see LJ try this [censored] against Nic Nat!

 

Max has been out-elited by the young gun

Jnr Mac

LJ got 3 votes for his game vs Eagles in R 21 so that means he was better than Nic Nat!! 
Any player  can beat another in any given dual let's face it but all day for votes and winning the game is the test.

    Every time a new term for an high level player or skill is coined, it slowly loses its meaning as its definition is softened more an more. It used to be 'excellent', 'brilliant' and 'star', until people were using those terms for every hack that played more than 15 games in a year.

    'Elite' didn't exist as a rating 10 years ago, and it probably won't be used in 10 years' time as someone will popularise a term that is even higher than elite to define players that even surpass the level of .... *checks notes* .... Jack Scrimshaw.

    Adam Schneider was recently referred to as an AFL “legend”.

    The accolades really get thrown around loosely.

    Holy moly, you're right. LJ really did get 3 votes against West Coast. 

    Can't believe I didn't make a big deal out of it at the time! That's amazing, 20yo ruck. Crazy.

    All I got out of the members brief on this before it froze and died is that Jackson’s contract “will sort itself out”. Whatever the hell that means.

    Jackson signing a new contract deserves a parade and fireworks. Not an announcement on a “live” feed that keeps dropping out

    Just sign him for many years. He could be so good that we can then work out where his best role will be.

    Hope the Eagles focus all their attention and money on securing English. 

     

    The only problem with this is it makes our biggest challenger, the Bulldogs, better.

    You clearly missed the irony and the laughing emoji.

    I was referring to LJ beating Max who Champion data don't regard as elite...

    I watched that game yesterday and noted that both Max and Luke left NN behind a few times. He just does not look fit enough to play out complete games.

    ‘Jackson on cusp of godfather deal’

    According to Ralph in the West Australian.  Cannot access paywall.

    Let me save you the trouble, it's an opinion piece not actually news.

    Nothing to do with him signing, all about how (the authors think) WC and Freo might offer him huge contracts.

    Skip it.

    No secret here

    The money on offer from the West plus the endorsements etc will be enormous.

    I'd be happy with another 2/3 years from Luke.

    He's on his way to being the highest player to date.

    5 year deal in front of him. Club happy for him to settle on a 2-3 year extension while our window is open.

    100% agree.

    Another 2/3 year while we're in our window is key, and if he leaves after that, so be it. 

    Our window's not going to be open forever.

    the article re jackson has appeared in the little paper...

    there's literally nothing to it; just says that melbourne can't afford to lowball dogga as he's the sort of player that freo MIGHT throw a godfather offer at to capture his signature

    my god the herald-sun is an appalling newspaper

    The classification 'elite' would have to be the most meaningless segmenting of players in any comp anywhere in the world. 

    Ugh. Of all the misused/abused words in our beautiful language ‘elite’ is right up there. The worst offender being Richo. I cringe hard whenever I hear him describe a player as having ‘elite hands’ 😑

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
