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. 😂

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
