At the end of the 1947, "Clubman", the Weekly Times football correspondent rated ex-Echuca Melbourne player, Eddie Jackson, the best of all of the first-year "former country players" in that year's VFL Competition: the second-best was the ex-Wycheproof Collingwood player, Alex Denney, and the third-best was the ex-Granya Footscray player, Norm Webb.[2]

He played in the Melbourne team in the 1948 Grand Final.
