It’s a very interesting situation, don’t forget LJ & Kozz shared a house together with Toby Bedford…

    If this did happen, it would be pretty cool that we essentially got Caleb and Kolt for Jackson, then got Jackson back again. Losing Kos would suck though

    That was a brilliant post @dazzledavey36. I'm in stitches of laughter. The Melbourne players will be all over this big time.

    Looks like he's forgotten the words to Happy Birthday.

    Just like that time I visited Singapore and an ad played before the movies about how the World Happiness Rankings said Singaporeans were unhappy but actually... Singaporeans are so happy! 😉

    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. 

    Whatever the case, I find it funny that Freo now have a distraction, and over a player they stole from us. It's lovely.

    Surely someone has to go stand near their race with a dees jersey with Jackson tapped onto the back when they play here? Would be hilarious

    Wasn’t Acres essentially forced out of Saints in the first place for Hill? And then essentially forced out of Freo. They were offering him like 180k guaranteed or something crazy low like that.

    Brad Hill went west and was back in Melbourne in a couple years though. Hogan and Lobb both ended up back east too. 

    Not sure about his time at the Saints, I didn't really follow his fortunes there. I did notice him when he played at Fremantle though and thought he had his moments. I have two Freo suppirting mates who liked him and were sad to see him depart. It is true that Freo lowballed him with a contract offer, I thought it was low $200K but I don't swear on that. 

    Anyways, glad we picked him up, handy player and had a knack of doing things in crucial moments that has made him a bit of Blues cult player [makes offerings to the shrine of Blake Acres in my living room] 🙏😁

    I take this with a grain of salt considering where it's coming from but I do admit, I always found Jackson's folks very off putting.

    I remember see her mum commenting on the MFC official Facebook page when he was officially traded and it had all the traits of a very controlling and toxic parent.

    He is a wonderful talent and would welcome him back with open arms, albeit the asking price will be steep.

    Love McVee and Rivers but I would rather see them leave before Kozy (noting this is wishful thinking).

    As SWYL said, I'd rather we fight to keep all our WA talent, and get LJ back as well.

    How we get LJ back without Kozzy, Rivers et al as part of the package I don't know, but maybe it's some future 1sts?

    To be honest I don't blame them considering the age gap. Hope they keep it up long enough to get him back.

    Anyway have a read through the comments here. Luke backing her up, her confirming the rumours. It is on.

    So was doing a bit of light reading about this on the actual facebook post and some of the horrible personal comments directed at Jackson and his girlfriend have been from a family member or other random, and yet it's none other then Jackson mum Melissa,  who is liking every comment that is personally attacking Luke and the girlfriend.

    If I'm reading between the lines that says to me that there's been a complete family break down between Luke and his parents.

    Just do the right thing and come back home Lukey boy 💙🤎

    Yeah looks like he's had a complete falling out with his family. Interesting. I believe he bought the house that they're currently living in too. 

    Also apparently with a lot of his friends. Definitely legit reasons to want to get out of WA.

    Mitch Cleary's story makes complete sense now.

    Awfully cute of Freo though to completely downplay the situation but...

    Clearly there is a lot going on behind the scenes.

    Mind you after further digging there is a comment from Kelsey saying 

    "This is ridiculous. We love Perth. We love the club. There isn't a decision to be made. I'm just not going to cop this when someone is speaking out of line."

    I'd have him back. We hopefully still have a good relationship with him. We need a ruck once Max retires. I'd give them future picks etc....

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
