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.

    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?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
