We don’t have to accept any Freo offer, that’s the point.

A player we get, might be better than our current option and then is best 22. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a star. As an example, Larkey of the Roos is no star, but is better than our current options.

Yes, and our FD don’t think in terms of getting back picks. They want enough to do what they want to do - ie Hogan got us May, Preuss got us Brown.

If Jackson gets us Larkey that would be excellent. That’s not to say there aren’t other options but as an example - it suits.

    If the Dockers can somehow manufacture a top 10 pick this year and send it with next years first rounder I think we take it and run.

    Use this years top 10 pick and next years 2 first rounders on role players.

    Its how Hawthorn got 3 in a row.

    Uhm, thanks?

    I’d forgotten how god-awful this was. 
    Was happy to have forgotten. 
    Am now on Day One of building up another forgetting of it. 

    A six year old Col used to find this highly amusing to the point the first team I supported was Geelong. 

    Perhaps they could remaster it and superimpose it over a film clip of his Open Mike interview. At least in the ‘80’s he seemed relatively cheerful.

    but his mum was english and he spent most of his life in england. i also know many scots think he's a faux scot.

    but let's be generous and say he is one of your referenced rare half-unicorns 😁

    LOL. I'm not a fan personally but he loves the national football team and is a life long puddle drinker.

    In all fairness, Key Forwards or rucks even rarely have an impact in their first few years. Jackson has had an impact more in the ruck but has done a little damage up forward (well short of what we'd like obviously). His game time is also quite low compared to others, which begs a question around fitness. 

    I believe it takes about 3 years in the system to build up to the fitness you need

    Indeed.

    Barracking for Geelong (even if it was for a year) did scar me for life.😉

    Larkey is one of the better young KPFs IMO. Behind only the Kings, Naughton, Curnow and McKay in the 25 or under.

    The club hasn't really got a choice ... when a player leaves the club typically find out in trade week not in the lead up to finals so they have to wait anyhow

    Well they do have a choice, they can sit him out for the rest of the season like other clubs have done in the past.

    Exactky what kane Cornes thinks also.

    Again this week he said LJ is NOT what Freo needs.

    He's  not a forward, has no forward craft, he's a No.1 ruck.  They have Darcy, a 24 year old star, why do they want Luke.?

    my guess? because sean darcy comes out as contract as a free agent as a 24 year old in two years time

    geelong will come HARD for him

    That’s a bad result. If Jackson gets us Larkey god help us.

    Would it help that I then barracked for Collingwood after that (before finally settling on Melbourne who I stuck with)?

    The unicorn was part of Scotland's coinage between 1484 and 1525.

    We also had a half unicorn. 

    I'm guessing the half unicorn wasn't as rare?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
