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

    Freo reek of Melbourne 2019. Long season ahead for them.

    This deathride is going all the way.

    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.....!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
