Far out. He is going from $200 to $700. Surely he can put a deposit down for a house for his parents now!

More to do with his brother than his parents.

What's the vibe, Beetz?

Lots of people overseas refer to it as AFL. Gives me the $h*!t$...

In Western Australia they call it AFL a lot. Seen lots of local clubs put signs at sporting grounds advertising for players to play AFL and they call themselves “AFL” clubs rather than Australian Rules Football clubs.  Then again, many out west and east consider Western Australia as a seperate country.

Very close to his family, in particular his brother.

In essence, our offer isn't that much different from Freo's. 

Freo - $7m over 6 years + $200k x 1 year equates to $1.03m per year over 7 years = $7.2m

Dees - $4.1m over 5 years. If his salary in years 6 and 7 increases to $1.3m = $6.7m

But my question is, how do we fit an extra $500k into this years cap? Or will it be extrapolated over years 2-5.

 

but you are assuming the figures above have any truth in them   ("got the mail from my mate in wa" yeah sure, must be right)

So get his brother a job in Melbourne. Jacko can buy a house, they can live together.

Unless his brother is in mining, it wouldn't be too hard to pull some strings and get him settled here.

True.

Maybe his brother doesn't want to move to Melbourne?

 

Wonder what the endorsement market would be worth to a player like Jackson in WA.

What are the rules on having a guaranteed right to be traded if asked. Say... you will trade if I ask at the end of year 3 to a club of my choice in return for a draft pick in the first ten.

Add that clause into a three year deal of say $550k per year and everyone's happy

Not sure why he wouldn't.... being from Perth it is a pretty boring place for a bloke in his early 20's.

Glad I moved to Melbourne!

Left Perth at 24 and my whole family live there.... I'm allowed these comments 😜

Dogga didn’t do much to claim a big payday on today’s performance. Or last week’s for that matter. Very ordinary, I thought.

If only we had more anecdotal evidence to go by.

Would delist 

Last night I spoke to someone very close to Luke Jackson that told me "he's definitely not leaving Melbourne".
Can't say anymore than that, I don't care if people question my legitimacy. You can take it or leave it, I'm not fussed.

I have no concerns with Jacko leaving atm and I'd say he is weighing up whether to go for a 2/3 year deal or the full 5 year deal.

His manager would know that his overall pay packet is more than just the salary he receives from the club. If he wins more flags the players get bonuses, plus the exposure of playing in big finals will bring about great marketing opportunities for him.

The other benefit is being in the largest footy state in the country, which furthers his profile.

Jackson knows that if he stays at the deees, he could win 2 more premierships. 

He understands what's required and he has the desire. What more motivation does he need to re- sign ??

More pineapples on the contract. 

I just can't see him leaving a top club right in their premiership window that's absolutely full of young blokes of a similar age group.
Be a fun place to be right now.
Doesn't strike me as a bloke motivated by coin.

Always gets me how the seppos call their domestic competitions ‘World Series’, their comps don’t even take in a whole continent.

It was named after the sponsor "The World", which was a newspaper at the time.

Only two? 

You're so pessimistic!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
