Three guys in a house together didn't seem to work very well

Only a premiership and being trained by the Brayshaws  beforehand and no public trouble at the house  betw Toby Kossie and Jacko. 

You are blaming or alluding to  the house mix as the potential culprit for Jacko wanting to go back home!! 

Jacko seriously is the type of guy that missed his family and his mates. This mix will be interesting and also whether he stays at his house in the suburbs with mates or alone!!

Are you saying that Toby Jacko and Kossie in the same house was a major issue? As in mates? Or whst ? Are you agreeing with Willmoy?

Orhis WA mates bring  missed in Vic?

Mockingly (probably unintentionally because I doubt he thought about how it would look) in a Dockers jumper.

Could have posted any number of photos of him with the Premiership cup when he thanked the club with his one line.

I thank him for his time but do not wish him well. He is now the enemy and whilst I will not boo him I do hope he gets roughed up a bit and that he earns every dollar he gets.

Exactly. He should 1000% have posted a more thoughtful farewell message to the Dees, his teammates, coaches and just a importantly the fans. And he should have done that by proudly posting a photo of himself as a Demon and not in Dockers guernsey.

Have a look at Lochie Hunter's farewell message in his thread and take a look at Jackson's. Which is the more classy/thankful/appreciative one. Or take a look at Weids farewell. He didn't even get to play in a flag and was effusive in his thanks to the club.

Jackson took the money and ran. I'll always be thankful for those few minutes in the third but in the end he didn't look after us at all. He wanted to go home and that's fine but he wouldn't even engage with the club that could have given us (cliub, teammates and fans) something in return. I don't wish his career well.

If he had posted a long farewell message posters would have complained that it was insincere

People comparing Jackson goodbye message who lets remember only spent 3 years at the footy club compared to Hunter (10 years at the doggies) and Weideman (7 years at the Dees)

I think people can work out where I'm going with this.

Luke who? 
 

Dogga the man when he has finished his career and we look back at his efforts in 2021 and that 3rd 1/4 in Sept.

I'm  thinking more of a lack of example, which would have crossed the table of the Club players minders, ie the ex Freo/ Richmond player, albeit too late of course.


It'll be interesting in how Fremantle decide to use Jackson next year and how the media will judge his performances considering he probably doesn't have the tank to ruck or play as a wingman/midfielder for a full match yet.

He certainly still has a lot of work to do to if they plan to play him forward for a percentage of a game. There are some good goals here but easily a third of them are from the goal square courtesy of an easy handpass.

I look forward to years of this thread being bumped every time Luke plays a poor game

If that's the case then this thread will be bumped heaps of times. He will play many poor games amongst the odd good one. 

Ah yes but people will say a average game he plays is poor. and a good game average etc

I don’t get the continual  butt hurt, yes he left, players do, we had some come to us that way and we have lost some that way. 
The “goodbye” message is laughable, yes it was short but so was his excited to be at Freo part. Not all want to write a bloody essay.

Well said. He’s 21, and not the brightest bulb in Aisle 39 at Bunnings.

Leave him be; we’re more than fine without him.

Doubtless true,  and those posters may have been wrong.  But being wrong about the sincerity of his message is not even a possibilty if he didn't make the appropriate farewell message in the first place.

True but the people complaining about his lack of a farewell are the same people who are resentful towards him anyways. They’ll never be happy

People get caught up in this stuff. End of the day he voted with his feet and has gone back to play for his home town team. I don’t need to hear his platitudes about how much he loves the MFC, how brilliant we are, how heart wrenching the decision was. It’s just word salad to placate a section of our fanbase who can’t be pleased anyways. 

I’ve moved on. I suggest everyone else does as well

When was the last time any of you got handed $7 million?

Looking very dashing in this photo is dogga. The wind blowing through his hair and all. Don’t know why he couldn’t find himself a nice Melbourne girlfriend

I hear this mob are the first team we play next year.

Collingwood to lie down again with cats, after the game of course.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
