Farewell Luke Jackson

If West Coast are interested and he want to go there I think it get done pretty easily. 
As of round 15 they had picks 2,20 and 25. 
Given that we will probably make a play for Brisbanes first round pick that could then come into play. 
Would probably involve more than deal with several different clubs and LH has said future picks would prob be involved( our future first for one). But I think it would get over the line pretty easy. 
If he decides to go and nominates Freo then that a whole different ball game. 
Fingers crossed he decides to say and it’s not an issue.

    Lions will probably get Ashcroft as F/S, touted to go pick 1-5 so will want to ditch their first round pick as Bulldogs and Pies did last year for Darcy and Daicos.

    But we would have to trade out something/someone of equivalent first round value to get that whereas our 'natural first round pick, which we don't have is 'free'.

    Not necessarily, we've been pretty good at identifying teams needing points for FS/academy selections and trading up the draft order by bundling picks. I know they've changed the rules on this recently but if we package picks 36 (at this stage) & 41 we may be able to move up.

    Plus we don't know whether we'll get any compo if Gus decides to leave or a trade in a 2nd round pick if someone asks for a trade (say Hunt?)

    Ah - why?

    Because the AFL makes up the rules as they go (plus they have the ability to waive the rules if they deem fit). The AFL brought in the rule to stop teams mortgaging their future but Jackson is only in his 3rd season so giving up pick 2 or 3 for him when he was a pick 3 three years ago will be signed off easily.

    They did a similar thing with the Hawks or Cats a few years back, signed off on them trading out a pick when they hadn't used enough in the 4 year period.

    Twomey says the AFL would be likley to grant the exemption in the article, on the AFL website so I’d say you are correct.

    What Niall doesn’t say is that if LJ stays at Melbourne he WILL have an elite Midfield to work with 

    The Media want him to go. It creates more Media 

    Yep they are just a bunch of wall drawers disguised as sentence compositors. Media is on the nose at the moment, and their target is us. They need to break the chain and they don't care who they ruin. Fancy not attacking  Collingwood or Footscray  or Geelong or Twsnbn continuously, they deserve it.

    We just have to stand firm and say very little. 
    i said years ago on here, we can become one of the Power Clubs in Australia, with the right people in charge. It takes time and onfield sustained success 

    The Media expect the MFC to fail….

    Wonder if there is a Brisbane forum with a hot thread full of people worrying he won't nominate for F/S aha.

    Got 51 touches the other week, magnet.

    Not too sure about LJ having a girlfriend. I watched the That's Good For Footy link that someone placed on this thread and he said he'd never had a girlfriend 😪

    I just don’t get this ‘go home’ factor.

    I’d be absolutely stoked to get out of Perth.

    1st half v cats. 2 kicks 8 handballs.  7 handballs to a player right next to him under more pressure and costs turnovers.  Gotta get inside his head that he is free and running and can hit a target himself.  Such a talent but needs coaching.

    Get this crap over with already. If he wants to go home, send him to Casey and bring in a replacement. Sick of this thread already. 
     

    He was [censored] poor tonight - not sure whether it was injury - or mental. But he will become a liability if he doesn’t sign.

    Does nothing to send him to Casey. We want to keep him. So we play him. If we can rest Gawn towards the back end we will be well placed come finals. If Jackson can help us do that he is contributing to another premiership run.

    Played like a guy that was already on a plane half way to Perth.

    My very strong mail, and it won’t come as any surprise, is that Jackson will be playing in WA next year.  The Club even offered to move his family to Melbourne recently and it was rejected.

    If you're reporting this then yep clearly he's gone.

    What are we're thinking in return?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
