Luke Jackson back to Victoria?

Featured Replies

who is texting who now media fellas.

 

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.

This could be big.


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.

yep, 200cm big!

Not that big, only 199 cms.

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. 


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

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
