I would love it if he just said I'm staying put because I love the MFC and the great mates I've made who can bring home more flags

Interesting from Max Gawn tips Jackson to ink new Dees AFL deal (msn.com)

Joel looked a bit rusty in the first half but definitely better in the second half as you’d expect He may need another run at Casey to build some match fitness

Smith got better as the game wore on - bit rusty early as you’d expect but he did some nice things in the second half and some good marks It was a difficult day for talls given the windy conditions so not really ideal for him or M Brown Howes was ok but didn’t get much of it and turned the ball over a couple of times with poor disposal - again probably couldn’t expect much given a long time out - needs a big summer in the gym IMO

No he’s not a shadow of LJ

Thought he went to Perth as an emergency- is he playing today?

Hope it’s more 40 than 60 and LJ stays put where he belongs with his mates at MFC - length of the Flemington straight more value than a washed up Grundy IMHO

Lucky Milkshake couldn’t throw a left hook I’d say

Jackson rucked well and jumped over his opponent consistently - hope he sees that the Dees are the team to stick with Dockers are real pretenders

Jack Viney - he’s the man that sets the standard - outstanding Great team effort well done Dees No Luke Jackson singing the song after the game - wtf is that about

Very very good footballer - under rated by many IMO

This is the ridiculous small town scrutiny that Luke will be exposed to if he decided to leave particularly if it involves a mega deal - no idea why anyone would want to carry that gorilla around on your back

Play well Demons and lets get a much needed win - if we are to really challenge and go back to back this is the game we need to win

Hopefully he has a good game - expectations should be modest as he’s missed a lot of footy but a few goals and getting through unscathed would be a real positive

Hope Gus is having a quiet chat with LJ

Would have been absolutely shocked if Gus left - great to see him stick with the mighty Dees

Hopefully they don't think it will all just happen - it is going to take an big lift in defensive pressure to be any chance

He is 18 years old - would you expect him to be as skilled as Cameron now ? I wouldn't He can take one grab marks, has a good kicking action, can move ok and can get separation from his defender - yes all of this at NAB level but still shows lots of promise - surely in the frame given our need for quality tall forwards

Seemed to be - not at all on LJ unfortunately which is extremely disappointing

We must try Joel Smith in F50 - hopefully he can get on the park and stay there

My take on the interview is that Angus knows this is his payday and wants to milk it for all its worth - still don't think he will leave

We are going to get SFA from Freo - wait and see

Norf or WC are our main competitors?

Problem with that is I don’t see us getting the two first round picks - prepare to be disappointed Personally if Fremantle is his preferred I’d rather walk him to the PSD and Norf - why would we accept unders and make one of our main competitors stronger
