    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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
