Farewell Luke Jackson
❤️💙❤️💙

Mac Andrew
Or having the luxury of him developing slowly in Casey VFL (assuming that the abomination of 2020&2021 is resolved) under the tutelage of Max (and Jacko) being ready to step up when Max steps down.

3 More Years for Chris Scott
They have a massive home ground advantage that almost guarantees them a top half finish. Scott's best option is now to work on his bro at AFL HQ to get quarters reduced to 15 minutes and H&Q season to 20 rounds. Byes before each final. Oxygen cylinders permitted on the bench and at every break.

Welcome to Demonland: Jacob Van Rooyen
But Frittata really thrives when he is one cog in the wheel, with a couple of taller and or stronger colleagues.

AFL HQ specialize in knee jerk reactions. Succession planning But our two rucks are each quite exceptional in their skills, mobility and build. Very few current teams could match even one of them - as a combination quite unique.

Welcome to Demonland - Pick 17
Don’t know much about him - would Turner be expected to spend all of 2022 at Casey developing or get a glimpse in the seniors? Is he a KPP defender or a tall flanker? Is he a lock down type? Any comments on his one on one capabilities.

Welcome to Demonland: Luke Dunstan
1. Sparrow would also not the role (Viney back up) but Dunstan could walk in too 2. Of course pressure on places in the team is a must - no way do I expect complacency to creep in, but if it did ...

Fool's gold
Time to press the RESET button. If any of these worked out we would not have all our current star collection especially Petracca Oliver Fritz Jackson Bowey Pickett etc.

Centre Bounce Analysis from Grand Final
Fabulous hard work Mate. Well done. I guess we will go even better when Jackson matures a bit more with his tap work, Having an amazing midfield team makes it work well too.

What’s your favourite GOAL from the Grand Final?
So many, and no correct answer. -Angus’ gutsy mark and cool goal engendered belief -Sparrow’s cool calm 55 meter kick -Oliver’s immediate follow up - and how about Max’s one that was called a behind? Isn’t that exactly why the much overused and abused review system was introduced in the first place? To avoid miscalling a Grand Final? Had we gone under by a few points I am sure it would be being discussed just a little bit more

Petracca Back at It
a Norm Smith! why stop at one? Sounds as if he has had a good apprenticeship - can one pick up enough in one year from the master? Could he even outmaster the master? (No pressure, Selwyn)

Dwayne's Most Watchable in 2022
Derwaynne - I would watch Kozzie, Tracy, Clarrie, Max and Jacko before most of those. (Maybe I am a bit biased) 🙄

2022 Fixture - We are the Hard Draw!
What century did we last have a home game at our ground v Essundone? I guess my wish list would include non negotiable: - round 1 Friday night home (at G) vs Footscray - IF we must play in Darwin it must be immediately preceding our (and our opponents) bye.

Big Ben Brown’s Wild Ride
TMc didn’t have a big day but he (like Pickett) played his role, took an opponent and there were numerous little off ball moments which contributed to the greater cause. Not everyone has a big stat day every week.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - LUKE JACKSON
One can see a huge amount of mutual respect between LJ and Max - they feed off each other. Waiting for LJ to start kicking the odd bag of goals like Max in PF.

Ha ha. I still remember some “sports journalist” in the Herald Sun writing about what a good game Leon Chelly played.- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - LUKE JACKSON

Thanks for posting, dazzle. As Biff alluded to, this is just amazing stuff from a small forward relatively new to AFL level. Somewhere I saw a comparison with Cyril and Eddie at the same stages of their careers, and Kozzie is well ahead of them. His goal sense and breakaway speed, and reading of the fall of the ball is something rarely seen. Broooose would be drooling over his every moment.- Tom Wills
Unsubstantiated ABC lead denigration of a fine Australian who actively promoted aboriginal sportsmen, and according to other sources was not even close to the area of the massacre. It is part of the ABC agenda to make out that Australia (and the USA for that matter) is a fundamentally racist white supremisist misogynistic homophobic society.- POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs

I was wondering the same thing. Anyone in the inner sanctum of the club have any comment? I am sure that most here would love to hear what RDB has to say. - What they're saying at Whitten Oval.
