So Luke, do you want to play AGAINST Clarry and Tracc for 10 years

It will be a grudge match every time 

Choose your path wisely young man

    Both can stay. It’s not a case of if one leaves the other stays. It’s just individual choices for both of them, but it’s not because the club can’t keep them.

    This thread is easily going to make 100 pages before we know what LJ has decided 

    We’ve reached 2,000 posts in this thread. If we can get another 4,500 posts we’ll have as many Jacko-contract-posts as Essendon have days since their last final win

    Gus has been great, been versatile and filled in on the wing and in defence when we needed him to. A very good servant to the club

    But if its a choice between him and dogga then its dogga for me. much higher ceiling

    So here’s the pitch. 
    “Luke, you can stay at the team that drafted you, that developed you into the rising star, put together a team that helped you win a premiership and looks capable of more, gives you the best ruck mentor in the game in Gawny and has all of your best mates. You can lock in to play with Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Salem for the next four to seven years OR you can go to a West Coast team just starting a rebuild or a Freo team that looks good, but hasn’t achieved anything yet”

    If he doesn’t extend for two years he’s pretty silly I reckon.

    Yep. Would love both to stay, but if I had to choose to keep only one, it has to be Dogga.

    Though I still want Gus to stay.

    In contrast here is a lengthy discussion mainly by Mooney and Lewis who are encouraging him to sacrifice the big $ for now as they will come in time.  luke-jackson-analysis-out-of-contract.  It is one of the more considered articles I've seen on his contract. 

    Goodwin said in his press conf the club is comfortable with the contract talks and Jackson 'will be paid what he is worth over time...' (or words to that effect).

    I have little doubt he will stay and will not get the big bucks in this contract.

    There is little point in his going to a mid list club and potentially condemning himself to mid list mediocrity. He can do that in the latter stages of his career when, if it is as successful as we all believe it to be will make him on of the best paid players in the AFL. He has to show that tho consistently in finals and he has to do that in a top club. Neither WA clubs are likely to be that in the next five years.

    Hey Luke, imagine going to Freo and missing out on our next 4 flags :-  Perth wouldn’t be that much fun living with so much regret.

    Anyway just a passing thought LJ.

    Pick 2 and a future first from the eagles for Jackson and a future first?

    Assuming eagles finish bottom 4 next years, make Jackson worth slightly more on points than pick 1.

    Profess to know how this ends ,but in Taylor we trust. I think we owe him that.

    Hypothetically could he already already have a satisfactory result in his back pocket on this?

    The younger Brayshaw keeps rolling around in my head.

    Surely he would want to play with his brother at some point and if he wanted too ,have an at worst, equally compelling case to come home.

    Remember, the years are rolling by.

    Would Jacko really want to go to Freo for say the cost of young Brayshaw who could be the reigning Brownlow medalist?

    l mean what a cross to wear, that could be😳

    l think if he has a half decent manager, he stays for two years doesn’t he?

    It seems Lobb is all but signed up with the Bulldogs so he wouldn't be part of any trade, if there was to be one.

    I still can't get my ahead around why people think Andrew Brayshaw is an option in return for LJ.

    Freo absolutely love the guy, he's going to be the future captain and face of the club and is their best player. Freo will say thanks but no thanks and move onto another trade target if Melbourne demand Andrew Brayshaw or nothing.

    Serong might be a more realistic target, but once again, Freo will be desperate to keep him and clubs approaching their premiership window such as Freo are buyers not sellers. 

    I expect we'll get draft capital in return rather than A grade players and it may involve a third party.

    Don't see how Lobb even get's a game at the Bulldogs.

    I disagree, he would be a perfect fit for them. 

    Similar to our tall set up... 

    English = Gawn 

    Lobb = Jackson

    Naughton = BBB

    Marra= Fritta

    Bruce = tmac/weid

    I want Jacko to stay as much as the next person, but history says that clubs who lose big name players never end up really losing. 

    Bulldogs lost Ryan Griffin - flag

    West coast lose Judd - Kennedy 

    Hawks lose Buddy - Flag

    Geelong lose Kelly - look how that's turning out

     

    I think if this happens we have to leverage everything we can and get ourselves a star Key Forward... one of Curnow or Mckay? Nick Larkey? and i think if we managed to make this happen then we could come out on top and stil be premiership favourites

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
