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.

This thread isn’t a place for considered statements methinks…

 

So - dreaming - if they win the spoon we get picks 1, 18 and 19?

Be gone with you.  That comment was far to sensible

I hope the administrators deal with him accordingly

Then everyone would hate us and decry how unfair it all was. And we would all laugh and I would be very happy.

The number 1 pick is an absolute freak!!! If this happened we won’t lose a game for 5 years 🤣

On a logical way of thinking. The Dockers just wasted $35 000 based on today. They can’t get that back.
 

Possibly more $$$$$…

If we ended up with say, 5, 16 and 23 from freo finishing 13th and us 3rd there's no way we wouldnt be talking to whoever finishes last and seeing if they want to trade 1 for a couple of first rounders.

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

If you look at his highlights reel it is mostly marks.

Somehow in the the last season he went from Jeremy Howe to Chris Dawe.

He needs a rocket put up him but unless Freo bring in Clarkson or Lyon mid season he won't get it.

If we win most games, and Freo loose most games, this could be a great year, and offseason, for us

Or maybe it's harder to take marks when you're not getting the 3rd or 4th key defender?

Kind of hope the good time continue to roll at Freo.

This is why I'm riding this train on its journey around the 2023 AFL season - not the 'LJ Thing' (he's forever in my memory for his part in Bang Bang Bang); rather, it's the draft bounty.

It's just the reality.

A bottom 4 finish for Freo with LJ winning their B&F is fine with me too.

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

Jackson certainly wouldn't be the only ruck to go without taking marks for week on end. For all the media plaudits he gets for his ability to take big grabs, Nic Nat has gone through his entire career averaging just over a mark and a half a game. 

Makes you realise how much we take Gawn's around the ground marking prowess for granted.

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

How can that be !! AFL fixturing is a joke. Freo played in a semi-final last season. Yet they get a bottom 4 type fixture 🤦🏻‍♂️

But his main role is KPF, part time ruck. Not sure a KPF who does not mark cuts the grade.

I believe they have one of the harder fixtures...it's just their first five or so rounds or considered easy ones 


Took your advice, @BDA and @adonski, and also had consideration for the 'red', @rpfc, and watched only the highlights.

'Twas sufficient...

did check in on their team song, though (we can afford to be magnanimous regarding Saints/1/66), expecting unbridled joy, but...meh. Our boys, and the team around them, know important wins when they see them.

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

Yes, but Jackson could still be contributing that for another ten years.

No one in the media made a peep when the Doggies snared JUH and Sam Darcy (arguably two top 2 picks) in the last 3 years despite playing a GF in 2021 and finals the other years. 

It won’t happen but if it did, they can GAGF. 😂

  • 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?

    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?
