This is the ridiculous small town scrutiny that Luke will be exposed to if he decided to leave particularly if it involves a mega deal - no idea why anyone would want to carry that gorilla around on your back

A parochial mob those West Aussies, aren't they? Hilarious.

Of course players take time to reach peak fitness, but that doesn't mean they can't contribute from year 1.

 GOOD..........Jackson will see this Perth newspaper spread of him walking through the airport. He will realise this a red light warning of what he can expect if he signs with Freo or WC. Every game he plays will be under scrutiny.

He'll be photographed in restaurants and pubs.  A living hell.

Still confident LJ stays with dees.

 

 

Just an afterthought..Jacksons parents will definitely see the full page spread over breakfast. They probably now think its best he stays in Melbourne. Should make for an interesting family conversation before he flies back.

Cringe WA newspaper thing .....

That's genuinely funny. Everything about it is so incredibly embarrassing.

All the other articles on the page actually make the whole thing even better .... WAFL oval conditions, Rory Lobb yawning, 1 year extension for peripheral veteran ..... and even managed to get their contractually obliged mention of Naitanui into the paper. Chef's kiss. 😘

I hope the “Boo Ban” is enforced and abided by. Moreover, I hope they applaud and cheer for Dogga. 

Then 9am Monday morning he signs with us.

Never said they couldn’t.

Do you think they wrote the story yesterday before Gus signed and were to lazy to change both the type and the photo.

I kind of hope Jesse Hogan reaches out to him and tells him how hard it is. Not because I want Jackson to stay (although I do) but because of how it hampered Hogans development and his career - you dont want to see a unique talent like Jackson squashed because of the media in an two team footy state, or because of jerks just wanting their 5mins of fame. 

Not knowing the kid, he may actually relish the spotlight and adoration.

Will be interesting to see how he performs tonight as he's been no better than "good" over the past few weeks.

Turn it on Jacko. We need a huge game from you tonight.


Kane Cornes writing in the Western Australian believes Freo are taking a huge gamble on Jackson. He believes the deal is done but questions his value as he is only a ruckman and not much of a forward in his opinion.

13 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

my guess? because sean darcy comes out as contract as a free agent as a 24 year old in two years time

geelong will come HARD for him

Good point.  Solid insurance against that scenario?

😡😡😡

I actually like this. Gives him a taste of what is to come if/when he joins Freo. He may salivate at the prospect of being in the limelight all the time, but all indications thus far is that he probably doesn't.

If he does go to Freo on the big coin that has been reported and has a year like he has this year, I would expect some journo's to start the questioning on whether it was the right move for Freo. I suppose it can also play out the 'otherway'.


Can you imagine how awkward that photo would be for LJ today? It’s hard to imagine any scenario where he’s actually happy to see something like that in the paper, and extremely likely he’s quite p’d off by it. 
 

 

Its a big game for Luke tonight, given the situation he's set up re-his contract negotiations and the rumours of Freo being in the box seat should he leave.

A big game by Luke tonight will ensure Freo cough up whats required to get him (i.e. a pick 3+), a poor game and that cough up will become a bit harder for the powers that be at Freo to justify.

Melbourne will win or lose tonight, irrespective of Lukes form, but due to our ability to recapture our team first footy. Luke having a blinder will be the icing.

Go Demons

 

Are we hoping he plays a blinder and helps us win or has a stinker which gives Freo cold feet?

Us winning is all that matters.

PS: Without any injuries of course.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
