Anyone know the Canberra Times' strike rate?

This is in the Canberra Times, article published this afternoon:

"In more good news for the AFL premier, grand final hero Luke Jackson will sign a new deal with Melbourne soon. Jackson, who is contracted until the end of next season, will commit long-term to the Demons.

The West Australian believes his future is in Melbourne and he will be joined by his parents in Victoria."

    Wow, thanks for that.

    I can't believe what I am seeing right now.

    Premierships, superstar players developing before our eyes, AND not looking to go back to their home states (Yes, I'm looking at you Scott Thompson and Jeff Farmer)

     

    I could get used to the new Melbourne.

    The article is from Monday arvo, feels strange if true that no other publication is running with it if true, hopefully it proves correct in the coming days

    Won't we all be beside ourselves if it's correct?

    Thanks adonski.

    Petracca, Oliver, Gawn and Jackson. All once in a generation type players, all in the same team at the same time, and they’re playing for us!

    I gotta throw Lever into that mix as well. He had the best year an intercept defender has ever had in the history of our game

    Story by Howard Kotton, bio from CT website below.  Looks promising.  CT is actually pretty reputable. 

     

    "Howard Kotton has been a journalist for 43 years, working in various parts of Australia and overseas on assignment. He has spent the past 13 years as a senior journalist with the AFL Record"

    I'd rate the Canberra Times ahead of most mastheads in Australia.

    That said, when something is printed in the paper without qualification (an out for the journo, so to speak), you can be fairly confident that they have good info.

    Despite popular opinion to the contrary, explicit falsehoods in the news are very rare.

    All true from what I've heard.

    His folks have been shopping for property in Melbourne, and "long term" is the phrase being used about his extension.

    Must be in for a big payday. Property in Melbourne is a complete joke at the moment. Can't buy a toilet for less than half a million. 

    Great news though!

    It was actually Gary Lyon who told me this during an on air call to SEN

    Hmmm....there's some interesting connections there. Dogga lives with the Brayshaw's. The Brayshaw's are from WA. Gus B holds hands with Danny Frawley's daughter. Danny and Garry Lyon are related, if I'm not mistaken... etc

    Thinking of moving back myself. Renting seems wiser at the moment.....

    His contract will be upwards of $450K so he should be able to buy a house and furnish it, for his parents.

    Sign him up for a decade.  Give him the 2 if he wants it.

    How cheaply can an MFC benefactor rent out a spare Bayside house without it looking dodgy?...

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
