Welcome Welcome Luke Jackson!!!

[Bigger]

How’s the flip over his head to Freddy?

He’s doing whatever the **** he likes.

yeah went to go watch the replay but fox footy decides to show the previous two free kicks instead.

 

[Sweetback]

Hope he takes it up to the Dees. Share in that glow of beating your old team that Clark enjoys

 

[sherrif]

All we need now is to get more games into Erasmus and Johnson

Yep. I think Erasmus in particular has attributed we need in the team right now. Aish has been exposed multiple times now by elite running wingers. While O'Driscoll covers a ton of ground and can keep up with the likes of Isaac Smith most teams have at least two players that rotate through the wings that cover ground at an elite level. I also think that Erasmus will add to our forward pressure if he spends more time forward.

 

[Purple Jesus]

I take back what I said about the trade for him. He’s an absolute weapon.

 

[Joao]

I'm withholding the temptation to pot the Dees for how ordinary he looked last year overall, because it could just be natural improvement but I am sure they didn't set him up to succeed forward of centre.

 

[Kram]

The dude is a constant threat of just making something happen roaming around out there and also just seems like a good lad. If someone like that wants to get on board and play for us then get the deal done.

And we did.

For a reasonable price.

 

[Scham]

Mate you know Jackson approached the club right. He wanted to come.

Of course but he still had to get the deal done without over paying. Plus, how much groundwork done over the years ensured he wanted to come to us? My guess is that the club (Belly) was in his ear from the day the Demons drafted him.

 

[GingerDocker]

Weird observation, could be shit, could be genius...Jacko is better in the air when jumping off two feet.

The simple answer could be his basketball background, but that might be shit too.

It could be more likely be about core strength and balance. Jumping off two feet allows more body control and usually square shoulders, helps with depth perception. If that is the case he will have more levels of improvement in him as he gets stronger.

In basketball you lay up from one foot and most often dunks on the break or driving would be one footed launch. However, rebounds would mostly be a two footed launch. Will be interesting to observe either way, I will look for it now you have mentioned it.

If it does turn out to be a load of shit, best keep it between the two of us...

rocks back in the chair with a smug, satisfied smile on my face

I remember all the Taylor posts last year, telling all us doubters he wasn't a backup ruckman he was a player who defied classification.

I think a few of us have finally caught up.

 

[wakojako]

"Jackson silences the demon army" as he kicks the game winner after the siren this sat is a great headline.

 

[yakamoto]

Jackson looks to be an upgrade on Zac Clark. Time will tell I guess.

 

[rgauci]

Jackson looks to be an upgrade on Zac Clark. Time will tell I guess.

Huh? Pre-PCL or post PCL?

 

[Ge3ks]

Yeah nah, gotta love our Jacko'.

 

[Yato]

"Yeah nah" .... hope you have a great game this weekend Luke

 

[Purple Jesus]

Yeah nah he’s growin on me

 

[Big Animal]

"naarm my thoughts are that we will give our best as we have in recent weeks and hopefully bank the 4 points"

LJ! It was right there for your interview.

talking to Daisy Thomas about Jacko facing Naarm on the weekend. From 1:01 - well worth the listen:

Footy Talk Sneak Peek: Steven May on Luke Jackson crashing a Melbourne meeting after being traded to Fremantle, and playing the grand final with a 12 week hamstring injury - Triple M Footy AFL

Our mates over at LiSTNR do a daily footy podcast called Footy Talk Australian Rules, and today they had the great Melbourne premiership defender Steven May on the show. He was so bloody good we thought you might want to hear a little bit of the best stuff he spoke about from what’s been a...

The song is instantly in my head

 

[Freo Big Fella]

(We also need to put him up for more post-match chats if solely for the level of enviable zen on display.)

EDIT: The club have clipped it!



Just a lad catching up with some old mates and having a really good time.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Dogga is an absolute gun. Love him.

 

[s_wd6]

He has such a way with words
