Eagles have to use their first draft pick this year under the AFL rules - so if they wanted LJ they’d have to get AFL approval. It’s not impossible, but I can’t see HQ loving it.

Apparently very likely (almost guaranteed) HQ would approve it.

    The sharpest steak knives I've seen was Jack Crisp, who was part of the Dayne Beams deal. 

    Greg Miller with North negotiated a transfer fee of 60k for John Longmuire with the Swans.

    To sweeten the deal he asked the Swans to throw in Wayne Carey for an extra 10k. Swans agreed.

    Carey has been on record referring to himself as steak knives.

    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.

    Has this been reported anywhere? Not questioning what you’re saying, just intrigued as it’ll make a joke of the draft rules.

    Cal Twomey said on SEN a few weeks back he'd expect it to be ticked off due to Jackson's age & original draft pick he was selected at, for what it's worth

    Really! That’s mind blowing. Thanks.

    The rule pretty much only exists to stop silly clubs like North trying to offer 5x future first rounders for a single player

    I personally think clubs should be able to trade several years into the future if they wanted to

    I’m terms of list management paying two ruckman 1.5 million plus a year, and they both don’t play that well forward isn’t a great idea?

    Nathan Jones (who played 4 games with LJ in 2020) who is more qualified than anyone else in the media to comment on Jackson had some thoughts on SEN tonight:

    1) the money being bandied around is ludicrous for LJ

    2) LJ is far too an inconsistent a player to warrant such money.

    3) LJ coming to Freo has the potential to be a culture killer for Fremantle. Not sure if he was referring to the magnitude of money that would be going to the one player or the player himself being a culture killer.

    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. 

    Answering your question, I have heard it spoken about publicly, but can’t remember where

    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.

    I doubt the players would care to be honest, just focused on the job at hand

    The money.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
