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 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: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.
