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?

    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.

    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...

    I 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.

    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. 😂

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
