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. 
 

akuna Matata 

I think the legend of LJ and the 3rd qtr of the grand final is well and truly overstated 

I’m not suggesting he isn’t a talent - he is but the 3rd qtr was all about our midfield he did handball to Clarry for one goal but having watched it several times it was all about Trac , Clarry and Viney imo

may the tales and reputations-made in that 9 minute burst grow wildly as we age. There is no place in this world for pragmatic debate about that small period of wondery.

Weeds two biggest highlights at the dees - the three goals in the third quarter of the 2021 GF and the fifteen goals he kicked in the 2018 finals.

Can't believe it's taken so long for this to be written.

It’s been said several times throughout the year but was staunchly defended by some on DL that are probably for the first time coming to terms with this.

Hang on, myself @Bring-Back-Powella few others have been quite vocal about this several times throughout the year but have been blasted by others for saying so.

People only now realising this because he's in opposition colours?

Some just cannot pick and choose when they want to wear their rosy red and blue glasses..

Maybe but it highlights his strength and why he’s valued so highly. His ability at ground level for a player that size is rare. We have only seen glimpses of it at this stage

No doubt he hit a hot streak in the 3rd even Gawn acknowledged this.

It was not dissimilar to Stewy Dee’s 5 minute burst in the 3rd quarter of the 2008 Grand Final 

 

Your last chance for luke jackson jumper is on the melbourne auction :)

A certain prolific poster around here even went to the point of putting me on ignore because he wouldn't accept my view that Luke Jackson was NOT the sole reason we won the 2021 grand final.

He was instrumental in that magical minute before 3 quarter time no doubt. However there were a few players who were more influential throughout that third quarter.

Someone like a Bailey Fritsch should've been getting more of the credit than LJ. He was the one that kicked the two goals when we looked dead and buried.

Correct.

That third quarter was won because of 4 players. Trac, Clarry, Viney and Fritta.

The first three went beast mode and the last nailed the goals. 

We would have won that game even without Jackson, but we don't win it without the above 4. They were the real heroes.

Viney was involved in each goal in that short period.

Maybe not "buried", but I had basically conceded in my mind, after the Bont goal, that put them 3 goals up half way through the third. Another goal to them then and who knows.

we all see it differently. i never got worried. at the time dogs had biggest lead we still had more scoring shots and had missed some gimmes. we had a record in '21 of finishing strong and we never got out of touch in the gf

too many nervous nellies.


Picked up the Melbourne 2023 calendar and who is in it? LJ. 

Those calendars shouldn't be released until trade period finishes.  

Certain people on here neglect to see that it was Jackson who got first use of the ball, so Jack viney and Co had room to do their work  during the 3rd Quarter and refuse to give credit. 
LJ will always be a Demon Hero 

History has primary sources and secondary sources. As time disappears into the rear view mirror the perspectives alter. As Chancey Gardener observed you can’t beat being there.

Before Luke Jackson went into the ruck late in the third quarter. We could not get our hands on the ball enough to do anything effective to respond to the Bullies hold on momentum.

Jackson was the spark that lit the fuse, the pendulum began to swing our way the rest is history.

Post doesn't have enough Angus Brayshaw - without his 3rd quarter there is no flag.

Watched those 7 goals that turned the game from mid 3rd quarter to end of 3rd q and Jackson would be 5th most important, and several of the centre goals Luke was ineffective, but our mids still got it back... 

I recommend watching it again. Just for pure enjoyment of it.

Jackson had 1 hitout and 1 goal assist for the entire 3rd quarter.

Again, a very overstated performance by some on here regarding him being that important link..

Max Gawn wouldn’t agree with you there Daz, and you are a very astute Footy observer

Seen it many many times Clarry, and will continue to do so

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
