What goes around comes around

I'm sure there'll be Vic players on the Freo list that will want to come home so it would be short sighted of Freo not to be reasonable dealing with us

    The majority of the their midfield is from Victoria, including their emerging star ruckman. 

    I agree with you, but Peter Bell seems not to be a reasonable.

    Peter Bell he is not always unreasonable ... just drives a hard bargain.  As we should do with Freo re Jackson

    As for negotiating with Bell, in the end, we came out way in front with the Langdon deal ... effectively he came for a 2nd round pick.  Last 2 years in the conversation for AA honours

    And the Hogan deal turned up trumps which delivered us May & Sparrow via picks 6 & 22

    Heard from a reliable source the following: Luke Jackson’s family is pushing for him to move back to WA. Specifically, his mother, who wants him back in WA. Freo may not be able to get the deal done, but the family’s preference is for him to play for Freo and not West Coast. They are heavy in the ear of his manager. It seems the decision to head home is not entirely Luke’s. Take it or leave it. The source is pretty solid though

    Family comes first. If they want him to head home then there must be a very good reason why. Hopefully the club and freo can get a satisfactory deal done and we can all move on

    No, I haven’t bothered to read this thread for weeks. If it has been mentioned elsewhere here, my apologies. That may suggest that the info is fairly solid then, as this source has been in the past.

    The club should be commended with the way it has handled the possible exit of LJ.  We've acted like pro's all the way through and there has not been an element of distraction

    And Jackson the same.  In recent weeks he has taken on more responsibility on the field and if he is on the move, it doesn't show

    So much so that he is going to be hard to replace if he does go.  I'm hoping for a stalemate with regards to a trade.  Which may lead to him re-signing with us

    I don't see a problem with us overvaluing LJ.  The possible deal looks like it's more so with Freo but if it is West Coast as an alternate, they've got pick 2 in the ND (plus some extra's)

    I have also heard that Luke Jackson is in debt to a Pokémon trading card dealer and the only way he can get out of his debt is to go to WA.

    We must have the same mail.

    Having some connections through my brother over there this doesn't surprise me. I really hope he's thinking long and hard about this one as history has shown moving to Freo is a poison chalice.... other than the money you earn.

    He will instantly be their highest paid player and if he doesn't perform the fans will become feral. Not sure he is ready to take on that type of burden but time will tell.

    I've been thinking about this and more than anything I hope for Luke's sake he doesn't go to Fremantle.  I'm not sure the culture at that club is all that healthy, evidenced by Hogan's experiences, and Langdon also doesn't seem like he had a happy time there.  Hogan's experiences in particular haunt me - I don't know if it was poor treatment towards him by the club, or other issues, but clearly a move home was not good for him, and he himself has stated he regrets leaving Melbourne.  And yes, the things Freo fans say about Hogan is horrible.  I don't want the same thing to happen to Luke, I really don't.  I would much prefer for him to stay at a club where it seems he is happy, and he is being well looked after.  Because he doesn't seem like a guy that possesses a lot of street smarts.

    Didn't GNF get heavily bagged on here for the same information?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
