He is only 20! 

Take a minute to absorb that performance.

On any other day that is a BOG performance.   That honour goes to Viney.

Watching at the ground, thought be was a beast around the stoppage. 9 tackles, hard tackles too, plus the unquantifiable pressuring, scrapping, hunting. 

He's immense in the little things and serviceable in the key areas.

Has great link up hands. 

I now think we play him 70% ruck and Gawn out of the goal square, Fritch around the 40.

I was sitting with a neutral supporting friend and he was continually singing Jackson's praises. What a footballer! What an athlete! He can do anything! Etc etc. This never got boring, and what he said was all true.

Maybe we're all on the wrong train... offer Gawn to Freo for three first rounders.....

Pretty sure some Wag on here said that by observing how Jackson played, would tell us whether he was going to sign a contract or not...

ps... I would have posted this if i had a poor game as well, or even a middling... none of these things would be instructive of anything.

And I'm still waiting for the explanation of exactly what could be deduced from either a good or a poor performance.   Now we know it was good, the job should be easier so I'm expecting the Wag to tell us the contractual situation.

As the #1 ruckman he was unbelievable last night gave our midfield a different dynamic - what we may lose in some hitouts as he's not a big ruckman we gain so much in his ability to play as a genuine mid, his power out of the stoppages, his handball skills its like having a giant Clarrie in there!

Love Jacko, and would love him to stay, but if we want sustained success the conversation will be happening asking Jackson what he wants and if it’s to leave you look after #1 and get the best deal for the club moving forward Oscar Allen and a first round pick gets it done for me.

#1 pick Tom Scully leaving effectively got us Hogan who got us May

AA defender Frawley leaving gets us an extra first rounder seeing us nab Bradshaw and Trac

I dare say Trac, Gus and May were all vitally important in us winning the flag last year.  No player is bigger than the club, keep evolving and improving I have great faith in Jason Taylor making the right decisions

Trades can't been seen in isolation but part of a bigger plan.  Though I expect Taylor doesnt want to try and find a replacement quite yet.  :)

Plenty of evidence in this thread of posters who can't see that.

If I was looking to meet with LJ and try and entice him, then it sure wouldn’t be in a public forum like a Mordialloc cafe!

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
