What an absolute bunch of fickle dullards Fremantle supporters are. They bought potential. For some reason, every time Fremantle pay a large price for a player, their supporters think that player is going to be a saviour and bring them instant success. Losers.

The problem for Dogga is that with us he could play on potential for another 2 years and do some nice things occasionally. Freo feel like they paid a lot for him now, so they want results now. 

I still think he’s gunna be a gun, but they won’t get consistent value until 2025.

100%. With us he was on icing on top player, with them, he'll be expected to be a dominant player which right now, he isn't capable of. 

I hope for Jacksons sake he thrives under pressure because he's going to have to. Could quickly become a whipping boy if he doesn't progress fast enough.

I may be wrong but he looked a little overweight to me.

Anyway, we will get him back in a couple of years, when they tire of him not living up to their expectations.

Didn't catch the Essendon game, but saw that Weid kicked 2. Good on him!

I have zero sympathy for him. This is what he wanted and so he must now put up with it.

Freo FD are the actual ones to blame - they need a KPF and Jackson is not one. They should have encouraged LJ to sign for another 2 years with us and let him develop some more before recruiting a readymade.

GOOD! He chose to leave!

He certainly looks like he has gained some kg's around the waist.

That jumper is hideous 

just shows how magnificent our Home strip really is

Can't believe he didn't take a mark. He will soon realise being the number 1 ruck is going to be tough work. Expectations will be high

That’s an insane number of pages devoted to just two teams.  Why would you do it to yourself?!

That's why they're who they are and they are exactly who we thought they were. 

I don't love the word but they are indeed losers.

Yeah but what about his underground handball

At least Collingwood paid for that mark.

Agree, that not a single mark is pretty concerning!

Inside at marvel too.

Which by the by looked awful.

Jackson looked unfit to my eye - too heavy. If true, I'd be furious I I was a freo fan.

You can excuse a scratchy debut.

But if there is no injury, or similar (eg post season surgery that impacts on preseason preparation) there is no excuse for a boom recruit you've paid through the nose for and who you've gambled your future on (by giving up draft picks) not being in cherry ripe condition round one.

Weed on the other hand looked in ripping nick.

To be fair we only took 2 contested marks, both maxy.

I couldn't believe that stat. I had ti check again coz it didn't seem right. The dogs had nine by way of comparison.

Was thrilled for him. He looked very good and genuinely happy.

A new start was the best thing for him.

They were bagging him out the moment the trade happened.  That was my biggest worry, that they'd treat him the same way as they treated Hogan. They're vipers at Freo

The Perth fish bowl can eat you up and spit you out pretty quick.. just ask Hogan.

Not entirely sure Jackson and his family really took that into consideration when they were pressuring him to come back.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
