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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
