If they break up does Jacko request a trade back to Perth in 2027? Genuine question!

    It is kind of funny that he would say it even as a joke. Seems like a never say never person even if happy in that moment.

    He's just the type of person who wants to be everyone's mate.

    He's not welcome in my book.

    He seemed to have checked out too early on the field before leaving.

    Not very classy.

    If he wants to change clubs again, surely you would be skeptical of recruiting him.

    I feel your pain.

    His performance and effort in 2022 finals was pathetic and unprofessional. 

    I don't care what he does.

    If he can’t make up his mind to where he wants to be then best forget about him. He could come back to us and decide mid season he wants to play for Collingwood the following season.

    Fremantle star Luke Jackson told his management only days ago he wanted to play in the club’s first premiership despite a new relationship that will see Victorian clubs asking about his services.

    Melbourne-based clubs have not given up hope of luring Jackson home despite five more seasons on a contract that will pay him over $4 million in that time.

    Given the trade period is seven months away anything could happen despite him being traded from Fremantle three years into his career.

    But Jackson is understood to have told his management across the weekend it was a lifestyle choice to come back home which he wanted to see out.

    He was aware of murmurs about his future at that stage.

    But he is chasing Fremantle’s first flag (he was part of the 2021 Demons premiership) and is largely happy at the Dockers after moving home three years into a career that started at Melbourne.

    His preferred position is to play first ruck or around the ball as a modern-day rover rather than spending his time predominantly as a key forward.

    He lives in Fremantle, has two properties in the west and enjoys the beach lifestyle that is part of being a Dockers player.

    Jackson told the club on Sunday he was content at Fremantle and he has a deal through to 2029 that the Dockers would not release him from.

    Jackson, 23, is in a relationship with former Australian Diamond and Fox commentator Kelsey Browne, who is working with the West Coast Fever in media and commentary.

    Fremantle would never consider a trade for a player with 10 more seasons to play at the Dockers, with five years remaining on his current deal.

    So while Jackson might have been open-minded about moving to Victoria he will see out his deal at Fremantle.

    The Dockers have the option of sweetening a contract that is incentive-laden and pays him extremely well but not in the top echelon of AFL players.

    Just as Essendon’s Zach Merrett was able to use rival interest to ensure his contract was one of footy’s most lucrative, Jackson could also cash in.

    The 23-year-old’s deal doesn’t give him the guaranteed money that many of the game’s stars have been able to secure.

    He is able to earn over $800,0000 a year if he hits incentives, but as the Herald Sun revealed last year there will be as many as 60 AFL millionaires by 2027.

    I love this story, just for that purpose alone.  They're happy to try and unsettle the MFC via the Kozzie rumours, so I'm more than happy for it to go back the other way as well.

    Actually wonder if our administration had something to do with planting the rumours on that basis.  Credit to them in some ways if they did, though based on the character of those at the MFC, I highly doubt that is the case.

    Reports suggest that Mrs Jackson has turned the household vegan and gluten free as part of a New Year's resolution. Jacko found out when he received a mushroom steak on steak night and was livid - this is the "complex personal circumstance" they were talking about. The girlfriend stuff is just a smokescreen

    I think it absolutely came from us. The timing wasn't a coincidence and apparently Fremantle had a meeting with Jackson a week or so earlier asking him about the noise.

    Nah. The story is all legit, and has nothing to do with us leaking. My source in Perth has a connection with a member of the Jackson family, and has known about it for a month. I won't go into too much detail, but let's just say that LJ returned to WA for family and lifestyle reasons. That's all been turned on it's head since being in a relationship. Someone correctly posted that LJ likes to please everyone.

    I love love LOVE Freo being all worked up, and on the defensive and in full/constant dismissal mode. 

    Let a thousand lazy baseless 'articles' bloom about the LJ relationship/purported relationship drivers/'old' homesickness etc etc etc ad nauseam. And then some. 

    I know there's some hope and excitement about his return - and yeah he's a great player - and would no doubt probably fil a space originally intended for him, but for a guy who supposedly likes to please everyone, he checked out of this club for at least the last half of 2022, and his finals series was lame, at best. I'm not as ecstatic about his potential return.

    But the media feeding on this 'story' like the vultures they are, I like very much.

    We could help it along by having someone lean over the players race with a dees jumper with his name on it when we play freo.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
