Imagine how much better our side would be if Luke Jackson in it? I think his loss to our side has been immeasurable since 2021…

If only he didn’t miss the family Sunday roast…reckon we would have won the 2023 QF final against the Pies with Luke Jackson and we wouldn’t have gone chasing Grundy.

 

Buy the look of him, he is a vegetarian.

I'd take Windsor

Exactly this. 
Jackson has all the traits of a star, but for mine definitely not the desire to be one. He might mature and live up to his potential like Hogan has, but Windsor will be a 250 gamer and a bloody good one at that. 

He doesn’t miss the Sunday roast. He now can afford prime eye fillet and aged wagyu every day of the week. Losing him wasn’t the biggest problem. Failure to cover his loss even with a journeyman ruckman is. Was very ordinary today in a must win game.

The Dog is a highlight reel only. But I’m forever thankful for his highlight minutes in 2021.

Again, he is an eggplant steak kinda dude. Not that expensive. 

Jackson hasn’t really set the world on fire since he left, so I’m not missing him as much as I first thought.

Yep I like Windsor more too.

 

If only Jackson didn't leave

If only Trac didn't get hurt

If only Fullarton could play

If only Gus didn't get KO'd into next year

If only Gawndy worked out

If only T-Mac never had the footy issues

If only Ben Brown didn't have a degenerative knee

If only Jesse never left 

If only Frawley never left

If only Woewodin never left

If only Farmer never left

If only Barassi never left.

 

 

Can we stop whinging for a change?

Meh, 13 touches and a goal in a must-win game today. He wanted to go home to be closer to his mum and he’s happy playing for an irrelevant club. His loss, not ours.

So basically, his average output over the last four years.  Cameo player every day of the week.

That's the question.

He has a lot of skill but to my mind is a lazy footballer.  Seems content to do just what he has to so he can keep getting paid.

Don't want him. Can't forgive him for all the rubbish about "I don't know if I'll leave" when he knew perfectly well - and played like it IMHO.

Yes they do.

But it has to be cooked very rare.

Good ordinary player 


I said at the time Freo were crazy to use up so much capital to go after Jackson.

Not because he's not going to be a  star (though I wondered if he was driven enough- still do), but because they had an A grade ruck, Jackson is not a natural forward and had more pressing needs than another ruck. 

There was also the opportunity cost with the picks they gave up, and his starting salary created challenges trading in other gun players, nor to mention cap issues when it came time to resign Brayshaw and other guns. 

Two full seasons later, I haven't seem anything to suggest I got it wrong 

Surely by Jackson's second season they would have hoped to be a genuine flag contender. Hell, just a few weeks ago (after flogging us for the second time) they were in the top 4!.

But for the second year in a row since trading in Jackson, they have missed finals again. 

And might have made finals if Jackson had put the team on his shoulders in the port game and been a difference maker, something you expect from your highest paid players.

Like riccardio leaving red bull, the smart play for Jackson was to stay with the dees for 3 more years and then go to freo on a mega contract - maybe as a two time premiership player (imagine how different 2023 would have been with Jackson in the team).

Who better to learn your ruck craft from than Gawn for another 3 years and then with possibly another flag under your belt move back home with a mega contract.

 

Well I think it's the world's worst kept secret that it would have been smarter to stay a few more years and then seek the big trade back. 

David King was crying out for it during the week begging Jackson to be that ruck influence they needed. 

I still think he'll be a big success but we'll see how successful, his team is a joke. 

dogga with mfc: 3 seasons, 5 finals, 1 premiership
dogga with flagmantle: 2 seasons, 0 finals

longmuir is on a hiding to nothing in 2025; he'll be desperate for a deep finals run to keep the wa hounds from the door

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
