    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.

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
