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
Turned a Grand Final in his second (first full) year. PS had fantastic comrades in arms to help him.- What they're saying at Whitten Oval.

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.- "Luke Jackson won't make it as a ruckman" Dwayne Russell 3/12/20
Norm Smith I believe created the term for Ron Barassi in the mid to late 1950s. I believe that Jackson has the raw talent to (almost) become RDB’s equal ….and just how exciting would that be?? PS sign him up for10 years, now.- When did the tears start watching the grand final?
My eye started watering at the Sparrow goal, the second in the Q3 final minute blitzkrieg. Although there was still plenty of time, I though “I reckon we have got this”! 🥲- Welcome to Demonland Bailey Laurie
I haven’t seen him so can you elaborate on what aspects are his upside? Spargo tackles fiercely, and 2021 kicked a lot better than I expected. Is he taller? A better mark? Similarly, for those who have viewed Chandler, how and where does he compare, and differ? Thanks- Welcome to Demonland: Bayley Fritsch
Interesting thought, who would we play on him? Of course would depend very much upon who else we had to cover, but maybe May or Hibbo? Very difficult match up. He should go into 2022 full of confidence and self belief.- Is this the best Demons side of the last 57 years?
Interesting fact (presumably correct) on the podcast, sadly, no premiership (possibly even no GF) side has ever played all together in subsequent years. I could envisage our 22 running around together again, but sustained success requires refreshment. And of course, a good supply of “fringe” players.- "Luke Jackson won't make it as a ruckman" Dwayne Russell 3/12/20
Just sign him on for the next decade, now!- POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
That is how we succeed : strangle like a boa constrictor then slice up like Jack the Ripper But didn’t Jacko announce himself. An extra 100k on his next contract - and I hope they sign him up for a decade really soon. And that would cost them their liquor license and thus their business. Hope they think it was worthwhile Did you mean condemn? And a lot of those were throws, unpenalised. Once the cake was iced I stopped yelling about them but when the game was on I was getting very angry.- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TOM SPARROW
