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. 😂

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
