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. 😂

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
