I'm sure every club and sundry would love to add Luke to their ranks.

I think it was the Freo recruiting guy (their Jason Taylor) who said he would give up his entire draft for Luke Jackson. That might be 20-20 hindsight, but whatever, other clubs rate him. A guy with 11 players in front of him in our B&F.

 

GO DEMONS!!!

    Down the pub. I met this bloke who was a goldmine of information. He used to own Black Caviar. He also told me that Joe Root bet $100K on Australia to win the Ashes 5-0. I can't remember all the amazing things he told me, but it was a lucky encounter for me. He sold me a brand new iPad for $150. (I knocked him down from $250. He didn't know who he was up against!) I haven't been able to turn it on yet. I think it might be the way I'm pressing the button.

    Try asking Siri to play clarry highlights, that typically helps fire the old ipad up

    OK, I had my facts a bit garbled. It wasn't the Freo recruiting guy but an ex-Freo player. (What with all the premiership winning in these parts, my poor noggin becomes unreliable more than somewhat.) Unfortunately the company of Karl Langdon reduces his credibility significantly. Nonetheless .... read on, dear listener.

    It will be met with a response of “I’m sorry, my battery life is not long enough to play all of Clayton Oliver’s highlights”

    Actually, I have tried that on my phone, and Siri just plays the audio from a scene from the movie "When Harry Met Sally". It's just a bunch of groaning and then a lady says "I'll have what she's having." Nothing to do with football at all. Siri may have been hacked?

    His highlights typically come with an age restriction for explicit content but that's a new one

    Is there any chance your name is actually Razer  Mackham?

    Yeah, he gave Jimmy Anderson a hell of a bake after that. Lucky for Joe, he'd made some side bets over whether he'd make a duck and got most of his money back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
