Luke Jackson - 2 marks in his last 3 games of footy.

How does a supremely talented forward/ruck go through an entire game of footy without taking a mark?

This result hurts my tipping comp but I'll take it!!!

It now looks like Freo have a danger game in their hands next week against NM....😂😂😂

The moron could have played for a big win at the G last night. But at least he gets to fly home to mummy tonight. 

There is a rumour his mum has asked Luke to ask his agent to ask the club if Jackson can sit out away games to enable him to spend 100% or his time in Perf.

The Freo boards are turning on LJ in a big way.  Young players with huge prices on their heads open themselves to unbelievable pressure and scrutiny.

(But their managers would never tell them that)

Nowhere to hide in WA.

Jackson against Saints: 0 goals 2 behinds 12 disposals 0 marks 8 hit outs 54 metres gained

Grundy against Dogs: 1 goal 1 behind 17 disposals 1 mark 242 metres gained

Freo have the dream draw going to 2023 first 5 games vs teams that didn’t play finals including the bottom 2 teams they should have been 5-0 to start the year

Exactly what I said last year. He would have been paid a bomb to stay at Melbourne under no pressure and go back to Freo for his superannuation in a few years time.

He may well struggle for some time. There is no question we have won with Grundy on the short term.

The Crows in round 4 & Suns in round 5 will challenge them

Unfortunately I can't see Norf (R2) or WCE (R3) getting over the line, even with how bad Freo looked today

Gonna break new ground here: Gonna sit back with a red and watch a replay of a not-Melbourne game! 🍷

It'll be a tough watch Tim. I suggest you watch the highlights. which will be brief.

It'll be more Kayo-microscopic than it will be Kayo-mini

Hope it’s not a good bottle of red then…

BIT unfair son..

As much as I have no great desire to see Luke Jackson do well at his new club, I do think that a sample of one game is a little small and way too early to be celebrating his demise.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
