manny100 1,626 Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 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 swap 2 middling 1st rounders for a good player available at 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. 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. Quote

Expand Exactly … there are plenty of players that play “in another state”. Absolutely heaps to be honest.

Jibroni 5,058 Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) If Lobb joins GWS they may give up a reasonable pick to Freo to secure him, particularly if GWS lose Taranto or Hopper. Edited July 30, 2022 by Jibroni Quote

Roy Boy 382 Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 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 way 🙌 Quote
COOLX 209 Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 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 . 1 Quote
