Did anyone hear what I heard in an interview post siren between Jackson and a Fox commentator on the field... ?

Jackson's words on re signing with the Club sounded rather muted. I thought the words were " If I re sign....."

 

On playing with this group:

”I’m really happy at the moment. It’s so good to be a part of a team like this…and the culture we have here and what we’re building. Yeah, it’s just a great place to be and we’re all enjoying our footy.”

On his partnership with Max:

”…and to learn off a guy like Gawny so early in my career, I can’t ask for much more. So yeah, just loving playing with these guys at the moment.”

On the contract situation:

“Yeah, who knows? Just focusing on footy right now, just leaving that stuff to the manager.”

Nothing there imo.

Well thankyou for your comments. I could not find the discussion thread...  The words " Yeah, who knows " threw me a bit...

"Yeah who knows" was in response to contract size/length not really about whether he will sign or not. Seems like he's pretty happy at the club.


Yeah, leave him alone.

Track wouldn’t have thrown him under the bus like that unless the club was confident.

Thanks. Context definitely needed re that answer!

Well let's hope he and Brayshaw sign sooner rather than later. I believe they both realise they are on a good wicket at the Demons and maybe they are waiting for the new EBA to be released mid year with a reported rise in the Cap. Who could blame them.

 

I thought he handled it pretty well, considering he's a 20 year old who's probably been told by his manager not to give anything away.

He's not the trained media performer whose 'at the moment' comments should be read in to

Yes. Plus the club is in a different place to when eg Jesse Hogan's body language -- every scratch of the bum cheek -- was analysed to death for clues.


Yes, the last thing we should do is over analyse. But for mine, "at the moment" casts real doubt over his availability to front up against the Bombers.

Yes those 4 Flags always haunted me for a few years

Why worry about things that couldn’t be helped? Retaining Pike was never an option for the MFC given his behaviour at the time, nor would it have brought us any closer to a flag ourselves.

Stand him down until he signs?

Strong but fair.

Jackson would be stupid to leave now. 
He can sign for 2 years, nab himself one or two more flags and then reassess. 
It’s not like in 2 seasons he won’t be any good and West Coast and Freo won’t be wetting themselves at the thought of getting him home. 
But to leave now is to throw away the best chance he has of being a multiple premiership player. 
Besides he has the opportunity to enjoy his footy and do what he likes while Gawn gets all the attention. If he goes to a club with lesser rucks the ride will be much harder for him.

Certainly put us further back….

He will re-sign but something has to give somewhere... perhaps no room for Brayshaw

I reckon if you cut Gus, he would bleed red and blue. He will be a Demon for life even if he is earning less than he would elsewhere. There is not a snow flake's chance in hell of him playing anywhere else. And he is exactly the type of selfless and popular player whom others would cop a pay cut to keep.

Harmes more likely.

….as I’ve said before, Club are resigned to losing 1-2 best 25 players at the end of this year to free up space.


We will lose someone in the next year. I’d say Choppers will be the guy as Dunstan is waiting in the wings. James Jordon has been quiet as of late but is still developing.

Yep, I’d be letting Harmes go before Brayshaw. Nut signed a pretty decent contract at the end of 2018 too, so that’d free up some space.

I too think he will sign for 2 or 3 years.

At least that if he decides to ever leave (I personally hope he never leaves) you know we are going to be compensated heavily well.

Two first rounders is a starting point and knowing that Jason Taylor has the luxury early in the draft is scary to think what he could pull out of the hate with his track record.

Harmes would be very upset and it would be bad for culture if we traded him: he’s a lifelong Demons supporter with a deep love of the club, what a dream to play in a premiership with the club you supported your whole life

  • 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.
