Welcome Welcome Luke Jackson!!!

I sold a photo I took of Cuzzo and Kizzo doin the ol switcheroo to the Worst for 5 figures. They didn’t publish it though. That was the beginning and the end of my paparazzi career.

Is that why you left the country??

Nice piece. I may have been a tad harsh on The West last week.

Thanks goodness for that.

This is an amazing article, the way its written - its opening and closing and everything in between, so refreshing. I like Ryno, my kind of journo. In fact there's no such thing, but this man has found a ridiculous way to buck the trend. They say he's an Eagles man, but you can tell he has no bias there and really rates where Freo is headed. Quality

 

[Quazar]

Thanks goodness for that.

I proper lolled over this. The sarcasm aimed at Suma is always great ribbing; nice work Sully

Pardon the intrusion. How’s his preseason been so far? Other then the head knock have there been many reports or injury interruptions

Nope, complete preseason with no issues bar the head knock

So, not sure he’s a forward.

 

[Descent]

So, not sure he’s a forward.

Correct. He's a midfielder.

 

[Deathly]

So, not sure he’s a forward.

Needs to play as a midfielder. If he continues as a ruck/forward he's not going to have a career.

 

[Channels]

Exactly, so not sure why they’re persisting with him as a forward.

 

[Swiggy]

Once freo get there ball movement going, we can find out if he’s a forward… have to remember he’s 21

He might be 24 before Freo get their ball movement going

He has got his hands on so many marks but has dropped them all.

Start clunking them along with a bit better service and it's a completely different game.

All attempts at my poor humour aside, I am interested in this age versus experience thing. Jackson has played 50+ AFL games and on the biggest stage in prelim and grand final
That guy amartey for Sydney on the weekend is 23 but has played only 12 games or something
Don't games, especially big games, matter more than age?

Marking is a lot easier when it comes naturally.

Our service to the forward line has gone backwards.

Thought Jackson was a basketballer?
They usually have good hands

 

[sabre_ac]

How does his progress track with other mobile bigs? What was Pavlich doing at 21?
I suspect the fan base is working really hard at staying positive after the first two games.

I think the basketball and good hands reference is more toward hand balling in AFL -
The issue with marking is your competing with other sets of arms/hands/bodies which isn’t really that common in b.ball (rebounds aside)

The good thing is he is getting hands on it, the ability to clunk them is mostly natural- but can be improved through training.

Hi might be 21 but he is a big boy. He shouldn't be getting push off the ball so easily.
