Jibroni 5,058 Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 I hope this is a bunch of toilet paper: AFL trade news, rumours, whispers: Luke Jackson buys Western Australian property, move to Fremantle Dockers, Lachie Whitfield available, Paddy Dow, Deven Robertson, Rhys Mathieson (foxsports.com.au) Melbourne star Luke Jackson’s move to Fremantle has gained further momentum, with 7 News Perth’s Ryan Daniels reporting the 20-year old in March purchased a $1.74 million house in Western Australian suburb Shelley.

Not questioning what you’re saying, just intrigued as it’ll make a joke of the draft rules. Expand The rule was brought in to stop struggling/re-building teams from thinking short term and bringer in older players. Confidence in HQ approving is bc LJ is 20, and as close to a fresh draft pick as you can get.

dazzledavey36 56,347 Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Matthew Lloyd on 3AW stated that Jackson is pretty much gone. People can still say all they want that these comments from media people have no idea what's going on, but there's now enough jungle drums beating and it seems fairly certain he's gone. You do wonder how this effects the morale in the team. Could it be a distraction or are they able to just brush it off mentally. 1 1 Quote

Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Nathan Jones is spot on. Paying a guy a mil a year on potential is insanity. LJ would walk in as their most highly paid player having played like 40 games, and shown brilliant flashes but not been able to perform consistent. It’s a big roll of the dice 5 Quote
