'I'm only human': Fremantle star Jackson dreaming of Dockers' maiden flag
Luke Jackson has already been to the top of the AFL mountain and now, with Fremantle just three wins from a maiden premiership, the man known as 'Dogga' is desperate to get there again.
Luke Jackson, an accomplished ruckman with a storied AFL pedigree, is determined to help Fremantle claim its first-ever premiership. Having already achieved great success with Melbourne, Jackson remains deeply connected to his hometown club, Fremantle, where he grew up supporting them. Despite being overlooked for the All Australian team in 2025, Jackson had an exceptional 2026 season, setting career highs in several key statistics and earning a spot in the All Australian side for the first time.
While recognizing the importance of personal accolades, Jackson insists that the ultimate goal for himself and his teammates at Fremantle is the elusive premiership. He acknowledges the immense work and dedication required, but maintains unwavering confidence in his team's ability to achieve greatness, drawing inspiration from his former mentor and teammate, Max Gawn.
For Jackson, the focus remains firmly on delivering a historic and momentous triumph for Fremantle and its loyal Purple Army.
