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.

For once we would know what it feels like to be Jeelong.

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.....!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
