Farewell Luke Jackson

[DeeSpencer 26,675]

Sturt’s got talent but he’s had a heap of injuries and clearly can’t pressure well enough to get games ahead of Freo’s 4 smalls or Bailey Banfield. Poor man’s Fritsch.

His 1 year deal tells me the Dees did the due diligence and weren’t prepared to offer 2 years. If we wanted him we’d have offered 2 years and had him as the steak knives to Jacko.

Now…Liam Henry on the outer. That has me interested

IF Kozzie was thinking about leaving, bringing a mate over might help.

Does anyone have any idea when a decision is to be made by Jackson?

[Lord Travis 10,819]

Getting Liam Henry as part of the Jackson trade would be a good outcome, assuming we still get first round pick as well. Henry is very talented and could be a good quick skilled forward half player for us. Get him fit and happy and who knows what he could become.

I hope he tells the club as soon as possible but I hope the club keep it under wraps as long as possible. I hate the way trade talk takes away from the finals. It’s so unnecessary and unbecoming

Henry has looked miles off it

Pick 50+ is all we should give up for Grundy if Dogga leaves.

If the filth need to salary dump to get other players and we are the only ones willing to pay a decent proportion of his salary, they should be expecting very little in return. If they want a first rounder for him, they should pay at least 50% of his wage.

id stay well clear of any of their nqr’s, as recently it’s never worked out for the other party, only the filth.

We had showed huge interest in his draft year.

This makes sense.

Sturt is 22 and played 5 games. How much interest can we have ?

I think you're about to be left disappointed. 

Most likely but it’s dumb to give up a first or high second for a player we don’t need (in terms of age and wages)

liam henry is clearly talented but really hasn't come on...yet

could be decent depth if one of Chandler/Bedford moved on?

It's assumed/rumoured that he will inform the club of his intentions during his exit interview, which I believe was today?

Thought people were saying tomorrow or Wednesday.

Ok, it could be. Tom Browne mentioned it was today, could be wrong of course.

About the time William becomes King DC.

Tbh you could be right too. I’m just going by what I’d read here and elsewhere, seems by Wednesday was the day, but could be earlier.

Jon Ralph just spoke about Jackson. He said the club already knows and possibly announced as late as next week.  Apparently has been promised a hybrid Blicavs style role which appeals to him.

With us or Freo, I’d happily see him play more as a mid, def could develop into that type.

That is weird.  Blicavs plays ruck/midfielder/relief ruck. It looks just like the role he has at the dees. 

Does J Ralph really think if that was what he wanted we wouldn't tweak the role for him.

Promised by Melbourne or Freo?

Freo, was on Fox "On The Couch". The panel chuckled and said "Blicavs is a role player - you'd pay a million a year for a role player".

Doesn’t Blicavs tag these days?
