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.

100%. And the Freo fans have a huge chip on their shoulders because of how poor they have been for the majority of their existence and Eagles fans remind them every week.

You could see exactly how it would go when they had jumpers with 'Jackson' on them at our game there last year. Ridiculous.

Jackson  and Weideman are no longer MFC players I don't wish them ill but some players want to go home or a new start and we cannot judge them after 1 game.

They will either prosper or fail but they wont be doing it in MFC colours.

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

Or the way many Dees supporters treated Lever after the trade done for him?

I hope we don't see the same this year if we play Port in Adelaide... I can imagine those ferals wearing Kozzy jumpers 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

They're in different situations. Jackson left for money and to go home, the Weed could never really get a run at it and would get more opportunities elsewhere

I'm not aware of any horrible treatment Lever got from Melbourne supporters.  I for one was massively excited. If there were Melbourne supporters treating him horribly then shame on them.

Some harsh comments from freo fans.  The other forwards Treacy and Taberner did no better.  Freo had 65 inside 50 for a mere 17 scoring shots.  The ball seemed to ping pong between the 50m arcs.

So not entirely Jackson's fault.  But I guess with his money and the fanfare around him fans aren't going to look for reasonable explanations.

 

However, Jackson played 85% game time.  At the dees he usually played about 70% +/-; a 20% increase.  My guess is he isn't fit enough/have the endurance to get through a game. 

And one wonders where his head is at.  He tuned out last year when he knew he was leaving.  Maybe the same is happening now that he has his long term mega million contract.

If there was a man capable of not thinking too deeply about criticism, Dogga is that man 😂

As many others in this thread have said, Fremantle have paid a LOT for potential and will need to be patient. Jackson is still learning his ruck craft & is not a clean mark (always two grabs).  Time will tell.

I see the Weid kicked 2 goals 1 yesterday.

Weed has done himself no favours by taking John Coleman's number 10.

How many people today do you reckon would have the faintest clue what number Coleman wore?

There have been eight players since him and before Weid to wear the number ten at Essendon.

It's like saying that Brodie Grundy has done himself no favours by taking Fred Fanning's number six.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
