Peter Bell never learns. I sent him an email about the Fremantle acquisition of Hogan and he replied that they thought they had a really good player. They got next to nothing out of Hogan despite him growing up a Freo fan. Doesnโ€™t the Jackson situation look kind of similar?

Feels like Hogan on steroids. This time they're parting ways will solid players too (Lobb, Logue, Acres) to get him in.ย 

ย 

I would be surprised if Freo could come up with the draft capital to snare Luke Jackson. Luke was a number 3 pick and given Ruck/forwards usually take years to develop he is playing like a number one pick. He still has 10/12 plus years with natural improvement in a lot of them.

Cant swapย  2 middling 1st rounders for a good player available atย  pick 3. There are mids galore early in the 1st round but we will need a KPF and at least one ruck.

I guess Meek can be steak knives in any deal but what can Freo accumulate.

Their 1st round probably around 13/14 after Father Son pick.ย  What would they get for Lobb and Louege - probably not enough for the trade.

There is a chance of course that we see a couple of really good talls around mid 1st round.

And he replied?! Replied to a supporter from an opposition club poking him on a deal he just did?

I never buy the narrative of 'homesick', FFS we live in 2022 not 1970. You are just a 3 hour flight from home. Not saying it is not a contributing factor but most definitely the money weighs more into the decision.

Exactly โ€ฆ there are plenty of players that play โ€œin another stateโ€. ย Absolutely heaps to be honest. Sure sometimes personal matters mean players want to go home but Iโ€™m not necessarily hearing that with this Jackson situation. ย 
Clubs like Freo see him as the โ€œunicornโ€ player that can be swayed with a wheelbarrow of money.ย

E-grade journos. I like it J6!

Hogan was a Crows fan

Can we trade Jackson for West Coast 1 st rounderย  plus steak knives ?

If AFL allow it, which they should

Did Jacksonโ€™s head knock stop him from being in the team song?

Yes he was undertaking his concussion test.

He didn't want to look bad in front of his new team and supporters.

If Jackson can get paid handsomely to move back home after already winning a flag with the club that drafted him - why wouldn't he do it? I don't really begrudge Jackson it's just frustrating he's out of contract the one time Freo decide to have a decent season this decade.

AS long as we get adequately compensated, i tend to agree.

While i would much rather he stay, i am not losing any sleep over it

By compensated, I assume you mean โ€œwe negotiate a strong dealโ€. ย No 3 draftee. 3 years in. ย Premiership player. ย Young agile ruck. Unicorn.ย 

Thatโ€™s worth a war chest !!

If Lobb joins GWS they may give up a reasonable pick to Freo to secure him, particularly if GWS lose Taranto or Hopper.ย

Wouldn't Lobb going to GWS be like repeating the 4th grade?

I won't be satisfied until this thread hits 200 pages.

Didn't think it was possible when it passed 100 pages, but we are well on the wayย ๐Ÿ™Œ

Based on Lobb's age and his performance against the Dees . Freo will be lucky to get a 3 Rd rounder from GWS . Lodd might make a handy forward for some clubs . I cannot see Freo being able to satisfy our needs with their draft picks . West Coast would have more to offer however Luke may not want to join them . I have a gut feeling that he will stay at Melbourne for the next two years .

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwinโ€™s summer of love.ย Manyย issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
