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.

I honestly thought they were going to announce an extension haha

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’

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.

Code for becoming a West Coast Eagle?

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’ 😑

Freo are a worry - however their tall stocks are in good nick

WC are going nowhere fast, not an attractive club to go to at this stage

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
