Description

Luke Jackson (born 29 September 2001) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL), having previously played for the Melbourne Football Club.

Jackson was recruited by Melbourne with pick 3 in the 2019 AFL draft. Jackson debuted in the Demons' one-point win over the Carlton Blues in the second round of the 2020 AFL season. He collected 7 disposals, 1 behind and 1 tackle. After being omitted for the next 3 rounds, Jackson re-entered the team in Round 7. He won the Rising Star nomination for Round 10. In that game he kicked 2 goals, including the opening goal. On top of that, he also collected 8 disposals, 14 hitouts and 2 marks. At the conclusion of the year he took out the Harold Ball Memorial Trophy, an award given to the best young talent for the Melbourne Demons. Jackson re-signed for a one-year contract extension at the end of the year, keeping him at the club until 2022.

Jackson became a part of a select few players in the AFL to receive two Rising Star nominations in their careers after he received a 2021 AFL Rising Star nomination for his 22 disposal, 1 goal performance in Round 7 of the 2021 AFL season, and won the award overall at the season's conclusion. Jackson was a part of Melbourne's 57 year drought breaking Grand Final victory over the Western Bulldogs.

Following Melbourne's loss to the Brisbane Lions in the 2022 semi-final, Jackson reportedly met with the club and formally requested a trade to his home state of Western Australia, however he did not nominate a specific club and allowed offers from both West Coast and Fremantle. Jackson was traded to Fremantle on 10 October for a first-round pick, a future first-round pick and a future second-round pick. Upon joining Fremantle, Jackson signed a seven year contract, tying him to the Dockers until at least 2029.
