    Reckon Jackson for Koz is the only way the club, and many of us, feel okay about it.  Koz is next level but we could really need Jackson in the next couple of years.  Would really hate to lose Kozzie though, he is just so damn good he's a ridiculous talent.

    Jackson would be enormous for us.

    He is better than nearly any key forward we have, with only JVR in the discussion.

    He is a ruckman who would be great playing with Max, as we know and especially more valuable after he is gone.

    He is also good around the ground and is effectively another big mid.

    It's probably easier to replace Kozzie, than find a Jackson.

    It also would mean JVR no longer has to play in the ruck (the odd fwd fifty stoppage aside), could extend Max’s career by 1-2 years and the transition from Gawn / LJ to LJ / White would be effortless.

    @adonski link won't load for me.

    I'm sure it's enlightening.

    Bit of a shame, has next week weeks tattsolotto numbers on it

    Also a tid bid from Cal Twomey of Jackson telling Melbourne players he  is "keen to look at a move back"

    This is the only way I'll accept the club letting Kozzie go 2 years early. Not for 2 or 3 late first rounder picks spread over years which is the best Freo will offer.

    He'd be a terrific third forward for us next year that can cause chaos in the ruck when Max has a breather. And you'd more than comfortably rest Max every and now and then by giving Jackson the keys. 

    I'd feel better about our chances on Sunday if hypothetically Jackson played an 80/20 forward/ruck role this Sunday. His goal kicking is very solid.

    Yep.

    I have no idea what anyone is worth, usually a key position player is worth more in a trade. But Jacko and Koz are quite unique players.

    Either way he's just the man we need for our Gawn succession plan.

    Has he improved as a forward? 

    I remember being astounded by how good he was in the ruck and how skilful he was around the ground but underwhelmed by much of what I saw of him as a forward.

    this is the most elite bait and switch weve ever pulled. focus on melb and kozzie? na jackson wants to come back. focus on freo and luke. bang. 

  • Quote

    We should try and keep both players. Line in the Sand…

    We may in the end have to give up Koz, if this eventuates, but not without an almighty fight.

    Isnt it correct that the interview also says he is very happy at Freo? But the headline did not include that?

    Just seems another brainf@rt kozzie type moment.

    Convince Kossi to stay and take Jacko back, we would be straight back in contention for a flag

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
