The club clearly has big plans/hopes pinned on this kid. His development over summer and, hopefully, his debut next year will be fascinating to observe. I hope he's as good as many on this forum

Jackson spent his first few years in covid hubs and lockdowns. Like most of us here in Victoria, he wouldn't have enjoyed his time here and it would have made it hard to settle and build a connection

For some reason I like a forward line of JVR, Schache or Petty, Fritter, Kossie and support cast with Max and Trac visiting on occasion.

I'm noticing a few posters are starting to exclude Ben Brown from our projected 2023 forward line.

Jeesus.. go and have a look at Schwarz's highlights reel before he was Ox...if he's that good then they should sack the whole FD right ..NOW for not playing him already. 

It must be the silly season?

Of course you may be correct,which will be exciting...

Better than that Ruski ballet dancer guy?

I agree

his highlight reel isn’t getting me high

hopefully I can’t get a better buzz in 23

The difference with young players at MFC is there is no need to rush.these days

Earn your spot and try and keep it, Bowey being the perfect example of trying to keep it

JVR will have all the incumbent medium and tall forwards looking over their shoulder, a good thing for the team

Nice Instagram post of a fit Tommy Mc running around his local track at Edenhope

On other young players my tip is keep an eye on both Taj W, who improved week to week and Blake Howes, was close before injury.

If everyone stays fit, we finally have cover all across the ground

Have high hopes for Woey. Look forward to how his pre season goes.

With the recent loss of Jackson returning to his home state of WA, I was worried JVR may follow suit in the coming years. 

When they get good then they get home sick

If BBB plays like he did in the final third of the season then he should never play again in the red and blue.

Moved like the mechano man in cement and had Chris Dawes concrete hands.

Frankly unless they learn to kick it to BBB on a lead all he can do is " his best" with what he's got.

On a lead and with his inspector gadget arms he's almost a weapon. Certainly that's  a change up from the dumb predictable bomb to the forward pocket boundary line. 

Making him play against his strengths is like Neeld trying  to make Liam Jurrah into Byron Pickett.

Hopefully both he and TMac have another season in them and a flag to go with it

Even if he can just get one out he's a chance to mark with his reach instead of flying against 2 or 3 opponents.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
