There once was a cursed football team
Who played quite alright in '18
But then went to crap and are tryna get back
To a level we've, just, rarely seen.
Jackson playing AFL footy in 2020 smacks of desperation. Only excuse is this is a Mickey Mouse season and there is no second-tier comp in which to play him.
So…probs a good decision in the end.
If I had an agenda (and Clarkson does, just as we all do), I would play to that agenda. In this case the agenda is benefited by Melbourne being "a Finals Side", crippled by the rules.
Of course we all know that's a laughable proposition. Melbourne? Good? Meh-heh-heh-heh!!! what a larf!!!
Why not just play chess. Take 21 players off the bench. Make teams of 1. Opening up space, causing players to think harder to check. If checked without a move, it's a game loss.
21 players in reserve, for any who can't get up if sick.
I dreamed last night that Max Gawn decided he would leave the Dees to go elsewhere. If Moloney hadn't done the exact same thing (in real life), I might have considered voting Moloney over Gawn just based on that alone. Reality hits, however, and I must vote Gawn.

Jackson should not play this year unless we get injuries. He's a kid. A tall talented kid, but I mean c'mon it's like putting a baby giraffe into a battlefield. Yeah the giraffe might stomp someone but it's not the place he belongs.
