Farewell Luke Jackson

[Demon Disciple 12,127]

 3 players? I’ll take Young, Serong and Logue thank you

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Logie was serviceable I think. Would be an improvement on Weid. But does he play when TMac and BBB are firing? 

[Nascent 9,213]

Good to see freemantle improving their draft hand over the last month for us 

[picket fence 17,169]

After tonight I would say an overated player who will potentially ( if he goes) will get us some excellent picks/ players

[picket fence 17,169]

Care to give an appraisal Lord Nev???

Unless BB starts eating meat he ain’t firing again

My appraisal is making appraisals based on one game is silly.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,219]

At least through all the drivel in the commentary booth there was one spark of intelligence from Brayshaw "how do the Dockers satisfy Melbourne in a trade BT?"

Yes, how indeed?

Well how about an appraisal on the 40 odd games he's played. Who or what from Fremantle would be a fair deal.

We’d have to throw in a first rounder. Andrew Brayshaw is a far better player than Jackson at this stage and is still only 22 himself.

Agreed...He's a super player. Young or Serong would be nice but I'm sure they won't part with either. 

[Dr. Gonzo 24,219]

No chance we get Young, Serong, Brayshaw or any other starting 18 player

[whatwhat say what 22,757]

everyone is super confident he's gone but i am prepared to hope, wait, and see

2022 and 2023 first rounders, meek, logue for jackson and our 2022 2nd rounder?

BT also can’t identify players and often call them the wrong name. I’m pretty sure he has early onset dementia 

Reckon he's simply a lazy, entitled dunce with a lack of football nouse.

After the Freo game the choice that Jacko has to make about his future must seem clearer to him.

Go to Freo, and get paid the big bucks and that  more likely than not is about it……..or

Stay with the Dees, earn less (but still good money) and evolve into potentially a multiple premiership player in a champion team.

I know what I would choose to do.

Doesnt even have to stay long term, another 2 seasons and then see

[Garbo 1,534]

What I don’t understand is how we a premiership team can’t attract any of the better key fwds over and yet freo is able to poach Jackson. What is going on

Because his family are in Perth.

I suppose if we were desperate we could make a play for McStay who’s kicked a whopping 3 more goals than Weid.

MEGABUCKS speaks the lingo

[spirit of norm smith 16,459]

Ummm. Jackson is a unicorn. There’s no other really exciting young ruckmen coming through.  He can ruck, play ruck rover and go forward.  But he’s still developing. He’s raw.  He showed last night that he sometimes has no awareness.  Run down.  Handballs to other players in worse positions.  Falls over.  Gets outbodied.  But the sky is the limit and his contract value will be based on a high degree of “potential”.  
 

If he goes, it’s likely Freo will look at offering a 1st rounder 2022 and a 1st rounder 2023.  Let’s ponder if that’s enough.

The danger in that is the big money may not be available.

Why not? We're losing one of ours.

We should be pushing for one of the Vic boys. I agree it won't be Brayshaw or Young, but I'd be pushing for Serong.
