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

2018 and even 2017 were fun years I reckon 

Can you imagine winning the Premiership this year and then walking away with a pick 2,3 or 4 on draft night.

Friggen amazing forecasting by JT and his merry men.😂👏

 

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 would post a pic of Homer droulling, but don't know how.

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

😃

2007 - 2018 EO we were in it from 1998 - 2006.!!

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.....!

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
