I really thought he was good today. Battled it out when was clearly buggered. Played against a really big opponent and kicked a ripping goal in the last to bring us back into the game. 
He is 19 ffs!

I'll take the two first rounders thanks. 

I’ll be doing cartwheels if we got 2 first rounders for him.

Would be absolute day light robbery.

While he was ordinary today, it was actually one of his better games of the year.

With our poor forward conversion and injuries to talls, he should play permanent tall forward if Max is ok after the bye break. He’d get a few free kicks per weeks purely from defenders [censored] themselves at his height or athleticism. If he could stand up and CHF it would do us a world of good. He’s needed more there than centre of the ground IMO.

Sorry he’s 20. Most 20 year old ruckman are dominating. You’re right. We should trade him for sure.

I couldn't disagree more. i'd suggest Luke Jackson would be one of the most valuable players in the competition trade wise, not just because he's already a premiership player and rising star winner, but his potential is almost endless. he's 20 and good enough to be a number 1 ruck in a top 4 side.

Losing Jacko would really suck, but i have a level of confidence in the fact if he did leave we'd be compensated pretty well and Jason taylor and co would be able to use the early picks we'd likely get to really re-set us to stay near the top for a long period of time.

If we had two KPFs who could hold down their position, it'd be a great luxury to be able to try Luke through the midfield. He's so good when the ball hits the ground. Fumbled a bit today, but practically everyone did.


Am surprised we haven't at least tried him as a deep forward and just give him the opportunity out of the square one on one similar to Max King.

Once he gets a good leap at it he's usually a good mark.

He looked dangerous forward.  Should've kicked two.  I thought his effort in the ruck was poor today but just goes to prove we all see things differently.  Posters I respect on this board thought he was ok so there you go.  I don't think he's been great in the ruck since his game against Gold Coast.  At the moment we are crying out for a decent key forward.  Let him settle there for a bit.

He was exceptional. A 20 year old ruckman, standing up on the big stage again.

I think this too. We are in need of a key forward and we have one that played his junior footy as one. Not saying we put the ruck development on ice  but maybe have him play 80/20 forward and only give Max the chop out when he’s on the bench.

The main problem is that simply he is not a good mark .He has not been a one grab mark ever since he came into the side and his marking is not improving with the gaining of experience,His signature grab is the two bite mark often following a one handed attempt .if you are not a clean mark you will not make it as a key forward .

Beg to differ. His marking method is the double grab, which makes it easier for opponents to spoil.

So you're both saying he halves every contest and brings the ball to ground...

A big improvement currently on everyone bar Max. A problem far lower in the pecking order of current ones needing fixing.

With time and dedication to the one forward role, he might even fix it in front of our eyes in the next 3 months.

Didn’t say “every”. But that’s a nice glass-half-full view.

With time and dedication he could turn into a one-grab marker. Mind you, he’s had the time already.

Perhaps it could be clearer: time and dedication to the 2nd tall KPF role in place of Mitch Brown or Weid, with minor stints in the ruck. He would have the next 3 months to hone his marking craft and leading patterns alongside Ben Brown. At the very least he's contesting and bringing it to ground more often that not. I believe he's had close to zero time in that role, save for a few matches earlier last year when I think BBB and Weid were both injured.

Weideman has been in the system for 6 years and still struggles with this.

Best game for a while, thought he battled really hard. A little up and down this season but tracking nicely overall.

No one is expecting him to dominate. 

Gahd damn Demonland is the place for wild exaggeration. 

If two first round picks (1 inside 5 and one inside 15) are up for grabs then we take and run. 

Genuine marking key forwards are our issue and will be going forward. Stop gap ruckmen are easy to come by and we'll have Gawn for another two or three years. 

Jackson will be a great player. But he will never be worth two top end first rounders. And that's what West Coast will be willing to pay. 

This is about sustained success. Not a flash in the pan grand final. I want to see us compete with the big boys for a number of years. A year of pain won't matter if it gives us multiple future years of flag chances.

Can only assume this post is a rev up. Wont give it any more credit than that

  • 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.

    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.
