None I would suggest.

Really ? so if he said tomorrow he wants out it doesn't change the dynamic - I think it has to - how much who knows

    I'm hearing positive things about Dogga staying for a couple of years

    Thanks Danny.

    I think 2 years for Jackson and Brayshaw make sense. Hopefully we have more flags in that time and Dogga's value will have increased and Gus's won't decrease.

    We'll have a clearer picture of succession, if necessary, by then. And they'll have more flags.

    Now that English is signed for 2 years, I can't see LJ signing for anymore than that (which is what i think he will do), in 2 years time those two will be the big story again around going back west, and by then NicNat will be finished but WC might be on the up again.

    These days I think the players just accept it.

    2 years is the best we can hope for I'd say. Happy to take it.

    well if it's to be only 2 years we may as well keep this thread running for at least 2 more years

    omg

    He remains close with Trent, his parents are happy with his welfare at the club, he wants to repay the draft faith and the decision to give him an extended break in Perth pre-season, the offer is as flexible as he needs it to be, he wants to continue learning from Max and he generally isn't motivated by money or stardom.

    I'm assuming this is all guess work. He may well be close friends with Trent, but his closest circle of friends are in Perth. Rivers returned to Melbourne after the GF to be with his girlfriend. Jackson hung out in Perth with his mates.

    He really doesn't strike me as someone holding out for cash.

    This is some performance. 

    His role as a number 1 ruckman tonight has been nothing short of super tonight.

    Gets rag dolled at times during ba ups but that's a non issue for me considering how young he is against a much bigger opponent.

    Just goes to show how much we need to try and keep him. He is a superstar at 20.

    He seems happy. The crowd gave him so much love. Goody was beaming when he came off and Jackson was smiling from ear to ear. 
    If he leaves I’m comfortable that we’ve done our best by him and I’ll always thank him for that third quarter…

    He was sensational. If he stays then fantastic, and if he leaves he’s going to leave on an astronomical contract offer that will mean we get a LOT in return.

    Imagine if we took Lachie Ash or Dylan Stephens and Jackson went somewhere else? We would be furious.

    Meggs was in a corporate box tonight with mostly WA supporters.  The Weagles supporters are a mostly disinterested lot in 2022 but the Freo ones are convinced they are getting Dogga and Gus (though they couldn’t recall his name)…

    Luke, the force is strong with this one…what a game!

    He’s worth keeping simply for his celebrations, brilliant.

    Keeping him long term just got a lot harder...   But short term may be real.  His comments post game about being surrounded by Trac, Oliver and Viney in the ruck made me think that he has to be aware of what a good thing he's been gifted.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
