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?

    Not going to the game but if I was I'm not booing, as you said helped us break the drought and also no need to give them anything as to fuel the fire. Also hope the boys don't fall into the trap like the dockers did when they played Lobb.

    No, I will just write his name on some paper and put it in the freezer - guaranteed to bring bad luck according to my mother-in-law. She has used that technique successfully on me in the past.

    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.

    Some will in the dees outer bays next to the Mcc reserve.

    Just cover LJ and stop him kicking any goals. That'll do me fine.

    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.

    Have the Chasers ever done a sketch of a footy fan in their jumper walking around the supermarket or shopping mall 'booing' loudly at things he finds disagreeable ? :laugh:

    I don't boo players, only umpires. But if I did boo I would boo but I won't be booing because I don't boo.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
