Welcome Welcome Luke Jackson!!!

[Sweetback]

He’d be great at the club, just reminding everyone it’s all a bit of fun, while being elite

 

[sabre_ac]

Ill admit it, I was quietly wondering if he’d be a bust, I’m hesitant to jinx it! But I’m not wondering that anymore.

He’s got all the weapons, loved the goal today against the Dees. Just needs to consistently hang onto marks when he crashes packs.

My only lingering concern is his game is all physical, he might burn bright but quickly, the club will need to make the most of it.

I feel like hes a season off completely tearing the competition apart. Already doing so much and he isnt near his ceiling yet.

We might have paid for a unicorn. We got an absolute monster.

Nah Yeah thats heaps good hey

 

[Spirit Level]

A lot of young players would go into their shell playing against their old team for the first time in a huge match at the G after a high profile trade.

Our boy is genuinely unphased by the moment, you just cant teach that.

Quoted purely because its one of the best things ive ever seen

Amongst his many qualities is catlike reflexes & with his wingspan the ability to get a hand out to intercept handballs and quick possession around a pack then get it going our way. It reminds me of Michael Johnson

He creates scoring opportunities from this more than any other player I’ve seen. Uncanny.

Yes!!! Of course. That’s just what it is. He does it several times a game to great effect.

Jackson genuinely love the Dees and playing against his mates wasn’t the same as somebody leaving on bad terms.

 

[Kram]

What a ripping young bloke, so glad we got him here.

 

[King Huskii]

His third quarter was as good as I've seen any freo player this year.

 

[EastcoastDocker]

I think LJ is closer to kouta than a first ruck.

Absolutely immense performance on the weekend and he did amazing around the ruck contest but I think he's general awesomeness and unicorn-lile attributes mask the fact that he rucked a big chunk of the game and had only 15 hitouts and very few hitouts that were effective.

To my mind he should be 2nd ruck-mid-forward. We looked amazing with Jackson at Darcy's feet.

May have the best left foot out of all our right footed mids.

I was saying it all last year, his actual ruck work is poor for a ruck, but his follow up and ground level work and his work around the ground is elite, which is what makes him so valuable and what really makes the Darcy/Jackson combo work. Pisses me off all the commentary about trading darcy bc LJ is a good enough ruck because he's wasted playing a full game there.

 

[Bigger]

He’s definitely more yeahnahicorn than common or garden variety unicorn.

Pretty much this

Corns saying we need to trade out Darcey is a no from me

 

[apuchar]

Tom Morris said Freo are trying to extend Darcy, not trade him

 

[sherrif]

He was immense and was playing against two of the best ruckman in the last decade.

 

[apuchar]

Yeah he is projecting as a great get.

Gee whillickers. That's up there with the quarter Pav took Norths apart or Fyfey waltzing past half the Geeeebung polo club to goal then wag the finger.

Jab it straight into my eyeballs.
