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.

    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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
