I know people might think I am being provocative with this.

But I am very curious to know?

Will Melbourne supporters be booing Luke Jackson on Saturday at the MCG?

Is it even appropriate to boo at all? We are supposed to be better than Collingwood and Essendon supporters and their vile antics.

I have heard some say no that they won't do that.

While I have also heard others say yes, that they will boo Luke Jackson.

I myself am currently undecided if I will boo Luke Jackson.

I am quite torn on the matter.

On the one side, Luke Jackson is a Premiership hero who helped turn momentum in our favour to help the Melbourne Demons end their 57 year Premiership drought. Something that ALL Melbourne supporters would be grateful of.

However, on the other side you could say he showed disloyalty by leaving the Melbourne Football Club because he wanted to go back Home to be closer to family in Perth. He also was not up front and honest with his decision about leaving the Melbourne Football Club until the end of the season. Forcing the Melbourne Demons to only deal with Fremantle as his preferred option.

I have even heard from some one-eyed and fanatical Melbourne supporters go as far as to call Luke Jackson a "traitor" for leaving us and going to the Fremantle Dockers.

I personally would not go that far! Luke Jackson contributed far more than Tom "money bags" Scully ever did who left the Demons for GWS around 10 years ago. I had no qualms with booing Tom Scully!

Anyway, I am genuinely interested in hearing fellow Melbourne supporters thoughts and opinions about whether or not they will be booing Luke Jackson on Saturday at the MCG?

Depends

If he disrespects us in any way (very much doubt he would) then I'll boo

i might actually cheer him. For instance, if we're well ahead and he scores a goal late on which is of no consequence I'll probably give him a clap.

Edit: Tbh, i don't really care. He's just another oppo player now.

No. I didn't boo Scully in 2012 so I would be a hypocrite if I booed Jackson.

And the louder the boos, the better he'll probably play.

With that being said, and after listening to Alan Richardson on SEN, it genuinely sounded like he deceived the club when he was granted mid season leave.

I'd expect the booing will be somewhere between Peter Walsh (ie nothing) to Tom Scully (extreme) on the Richter scale of booing.

I’m not a boo-er, but If it puts him off his game, then yes.

I get that he was part of the Premiership team, but he decided to leave for the $. Had he been edged out like Oskar Baker or Hunty, it would be different. He’s a Freo player now

I won't be booing Jackson as he was part of the flag winning team which made me extremely happy.

So I won't boo him unless he does something on the field to warrant it. But not sure he has the mongrel in him for that. 

There will be Boos though.

No.

Perhaps if he puts his knee's into Gawn as he tries to leap over him.

I enjoy watching ex MFC players go round. Applauded Frosty in his 150, and will applaud the execution of good skills, by any player. I guess that originates from our lean years, and making the most of the entertainment aspects.

Then why did you applaud Frosty? 😀

All Jokes, still love Frostball!

Premiership player with the club always love him. That part he played in the late 3 rod quayer in grand final ensures l will always love him.  Hope he has quiet day Saturday. Lol

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
