Wonder if Freo pulled or lowered their offer for him to now just say he wants a WA club? Who knows.

    Just a couple of points.

    1. Jackson is going home to be a part of his family and build his life in Perth. His family are into Fremantle. As a consequence, there is very little chance of him going to West Coast. The only reason West Coast get involved and we keep that negotiation open is to try and secure a better deal. Those two teams hate each other.

    2. The Grundy negotiations involve two factors, how much salary Collingwood will pay and draft picks. So if they pay $400,000 per year of his ongoing salary and we take up $600,000, then we would have to offer up a pick around 10. If it's only $200,000  Collingwood pay and we carry the rest (god forbid) then theres a point where they should be giving us a pick.

    Whats the equilibrium???? For me I don't really want to pay much more than about $500,000 a year for Grundy and he's worth about pick 25-30. 

    I don't think that will satisfy Collingwood and I hope we don't get shafted. I don't like the deal. Leave them in a world of pain.

    Could we tell Collingwood we will do the deal, but then pull out at the last minute when it’s too late for them to sort something else out to get their other deals done?

    Yes, I know. Am still angry.

    • Demonland changed the title to Luke Jackson Has Requested a Trade Home

    Worst kept secret in AFL.

    Now lets do what suits us best and get the best deal that sets up our list for the future.

    Doubt it

    it was more the Eagles matching the Freo money I'm sure.

    Freo has a big dilemna. The only way it can remotely match what the Eagles can offer is to trade a player

    Disappointed and I will boo when we play against him.

    (But he is a MFC immortal and i will cherish that. Good luck Luke.)

    My apologies to Old Dee. He said very early on that he considered Jacko would go. Smart-A me commented that if Old Dee thought that he was going, then I was more than convinced he would stay.

    Thank you and good luck.

    Now get us the best deal possible Tim Lamb.

    Over easily.

    Sucks obviously, but depending on how we play it, we can benefit enormously from this trade. In fact, I think we could be a better team without Jackson, so long as we use his currency wisely.

    I would also think pick 2 isn't quite enough value. I'd prefer Pick 2 and a late first rounder/early second and us give up something around the 30s in addition to Jackson. Maximise the trade.

    It will likely be pick 3 after FS selections (Ashcroft) - but that's still a great result for us. 

    We are never going to receive 'overs' for an uncontracted player. The best we can hope for is adequate compensation.

    Pick 3 is as about as good as we could realistically hope for.

    Unlike you, I will not be accepting mediocrity in any trade, 2 first round picks or a top 5 pick and one of their best young players.

    At least he has left his options open to either WC or Freo. Hopefully we can have a Dutch auction & get the best deal for the club.

    At least its offical, action can be taken.  It doesn't say a club so that gives us more flexibility.

    I remember thinking during the 'will Hogan go home' days that if he won us a flag I wouldn't care if he went back to Perth. The same really applies here to Jackson although it doesn't feel that way right now.

    Whatever

    I never liked you anyway Luke

    They've done it against West Coast, they have pulled the wool over everyones eyes.

    Tanked the lights out to secure L.Jackson, the dots have well and truely been joined.

    Fremantle are screwed here.....

    Well and truely no plan B here 

    That will wipe the smug look from Bell's dial.

    This absolute numpty WCE supporter from Subiaco just rang up SEN, saying how much he wants Jacko - said ruckman take time, he has won rising star etc etc, then said he would only want to offer pick 20 and first rounder next year.

    Are you sure you want to live in Perth with these kind of people Luke?

    All the best Luke, no hard feelings.
    Backing Lamb and JT to turn this into a positive. 
    If West Coast are keen tell them it’s pick 2 and steak knives, tell Freo they better talk to North about pick one

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
