$12 M for 8 years...

I think that would be the highest ever

Buddy was around $10M for 9 years

Not impossible if you punt on a 30-50% uplift in the slary cap over the next 8-10 years.

Won't happen this time around but in 2 years.. who knows

If he does end up dominating the competition that price could look cheap in 8 years.

Josh is trying to elevate his profile. Pure click bait comment from him

Do I hear $20 million for 10 years, the bid is with you?


Josh obviously thinks Jacko is so versatile he can play about 4 positions on the ground simultaneously 

He will have to because at this rate we can't afford to field another 21 players

No, but I’d go $10m for 20 years 🤪

I think 'Josh' honestly needs to take the bus from now on. It looks like a take from a 10 y.o 

The Media must be so peed off with how good this bloody team is, never heard such a bunch of wingers.

Haven’t read all comments so apologies if I’m repeating what has already been posted.  Obviously Jacko could  potentially be one of the greats and there will be a lot of interest in him from other clubs and no doubt some big dollars being dangled.

On one hand a footy career in the scheme of things is for a relatively short span of time so I totally get it and don’t begrudge anyone trying to chase and get the big dollars when it is on offer. 

On the other hand, I hope that some of the current MFC new found culture and values shine through in the negotiations.  Hope Jacko stays and they pay him well (hopefully he accepts less than what others will offer) so that we have dollars left within the salary cap to keep other existing players / fund new talent in coming years. Something along the lines of what I think occurred at Geelong some years ago.

Wouldn’t it be nice in many years to come that when he retired from the Dees he would not only be fairly rich ( but not as rich as he could have been) but more importantly been part of a most successful era winning several flags along the journey.  What price do you put on a flag?


Also Jacko would know deep down that the ‘price he paid’  very much helped the club retain / gain new players over the years that ultimately contributed to the club’s success.  That is how dynasties are created by everyone at the MFC actually walking the talk and actually living and breathing the club’s new found values.   What a legacy that would be.  Fingers crossed and GO DEES!!!

Is Josh the new Cornes? Saying stupid things to get attention knowing he’ll never be held accountable 

I don’t think Jacko is at Buddy level just yet thanks. Maybe when he is 24 he could sign a mega deal. Just look at the mega deal Grundy signed when he looked unstoppable. He’s been Just average/good since signing 

too risky to sign a kid on a 10 year deal. Even someone as gifted as LJ

Over his lifetime he will probably earn more off field than on.

Without doubt. Especially after he discovers the new planets he is passionate about.

Probably he’s working for Hutchy. 

In all seriousness though, i would hope we start hearing more regular positive news with Luke. I know people will say it will happen, but we dont want this going well into the last part of teh season and even finals and not have him signed up. I assume he will and have no real fear of him leaving, but getting confirmation will be nice.

Getting a flag this year would be nice. If we want Jackson then let’s play for him. Winning two flags in a row, and being a part of a young dynasty list, it’s hard to pass up.

That is why as a side issue, I want the Eagles to improve and finish mid ladder, so there is absolutely no risk of a pre season draft issue.

Yeah I agree, sadly Nic Nat injury will heighten speculation as well.. 

Scenario.... Jacko goes to WC, First night training, hey this bloke left at drop of hat, so he is here for the money nothing else....not good look.

  • 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.
