Despite the conventional wisdom on here Jackson was pretty good from what I saw of that Q...a nice tap to advantage and a couple of good grabs. Happy to see Freo getting smashed but look with both eyes people.

What really surprises me tho is how much bigger and slower he looks. Did they get him to bulk up to play deep forward? It seems to have nullified his ground level athleticism.

Edit: he also doesn’t look happy. He was always happy and smiling at Melbourne.

    I mean seriously. Can we get better commentators. Please.

    I was literally thinking this before, it's like they want him to be a bullocking forward. Really lumbering around

    TBH, I derided this thread when it first appeared. I am now a clear convert.

    I now have two games to give a damn about weekly*

    I guess that makes up for the detached apathy that I held for the 15 years 2003-2018.

    Grundy at 29 years old looks more athletic and dynamic than 21 year old Jackson

    He looks like a defeated man out there does Jacko.

    I've had my doubts about him but Rankine is looking the goods so far this season. Been excellent today

    Is there a smarter player at forward 50 stoppages?

    Freo look horrible. unless their defence and mids are flying they won’t win games

    each time they rebound they have no options or connection. as average as LJ has been Tabener as the senior fwd has been woeful. doesn’t compete

    they would have expected 5-0 or 4-1 given their run. wait until they have some tough games!

    freo have Dogs Lions and Swans in the next 5

    I’m starting to almost feel bad for him. But then I remember that he made his choices and we are possibly going to run away from this with a top 5 draft pick so 🤷‍♀️

    The lack of mid forward connection is Freo's big problem and I can't see this resolving itself anytime soon. Some of the delivery today was dreadful.

    Freo look like a genuine bottom 4 side

    Ironically, there's a 2019 Melbourne vibe about them.....at least that season gave us the pick we landed Luke Jackson with.....!

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
