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.....!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
