I don't really get why you would extend someone you've still got on the books for four more years. Fremantle seem spooked.

    flattening the contract - he gets more years on slightly less $$ per annum, but more over an extended period of time

    If that's the case Jackson's manager should be advising him that he's likely to earn more if he holds off for a couple of years.

    the journos are playing all the old tunes this week. Not enough news around to generate clicks so they dust off old trade stories

    Makes sense. The Jackson/Darcy combo is as ineffective as Gawndy, we need something juicy for Kosi if he leaves, and Gawn is nearing the end (or is he?). If Luke wants it and who knows what goes in that guys head, but then i think this trade would be mutually beneficial for all parties.

    Comparisons with Gawn/Grundy don't account for the fact that Gawn / Jackson did work and indeed won a flag.

    Grundy could not function as a forward: Jackson can.

    But he doesn’t want to. He wants to be a midfielder.

    I would love him back.

    ...the icing on the cake would be Kozzie staying.

    I mean why would he want to go to Freo anyway.

    The real icing would be Hogan and Bedford also both coming home.

    Argued to get Hogan back after his first lukewarm period at GWS. Shut down completely on this forum.

    Jackson.... nah... unless he agrees to a few KPI's. I thought he was generational at MFC but something has happened. The De Konig twins are better but Jacko should have been better again.

    Anyone who questions bringing Jackson home needs to rewatch the 3rd Quarter 25.9.21

    None of our team have replicated that five minute period since.

    Why... No idea... I watched 2022 desperate to see it again but no

    I noticed Jackson in the Centre square together with Darcy, who rucked, at least once v StK.

    Jackson functioned as an attacking ruckman and tall midfielder, not a forward. Which evidently played a major role in the Grand Final. As with Boyd for the Dogs in 2016. You don't need your ruck to kick goals. That's what worked. I still think with time Grundy and Gawn could have worked and we'd have been better for it though.

    Absolutely. Brodie should have been given a tall-running mid role.

    LJ has had one Jack Dyer "good ordinary" season at the Shockers in three years and isn't currently ranked in the best 50 players in the game. I would certainly have him back at Melbourne, but the Garry Meadows "Price is Right" must apply.

    Just add him to the ever growing list of WA players that Flagmantle have brought home who have floundered

    Think some people are being a bit harsh on LJ, his form before doing his hamstring this year was very good. Has a higher player rating than Sam Darcy for the year and not far behind Max. Would love him back.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
