Well, you could care less

Yep.

He's only been banging on about it on this thread a thousand times like a broken record.

    Your second paragraph assumes your first paragraph hypothesis is wrong. It’s a risk or it’s not.

    Its a risk and I hope it gets Freo to give up something of value.

    West Coast will pounce to facilitate a trade*

    Why would a club black list itself for no reason? Not only would we never deal with them again, they'd then carry a reputation that every club would be aware of when dealing with them. So it's absolutely in their best interests to make a fair trade with us if Freo don't come to the party. 

    My assumption is that Jackson has told us that Freo is where he wants to go but if they can't get a fair deal done for the club, he'd be willing to go to West Coast. This is based on the fact that he hasn't come out publicly to nominate. He is being fair to us as we were the ones who drafted him, developed him and ultimately invested in him.

    Could have reached an in principle agreement already.

    The issue for Freo is getting the capital to satisfy our want.  Once they've done that we can get the Grundy deal done

    And the Grundy deal has probably been agreed to as well

    List management starts really early these days ... for instance the Scully deal was done at least a year out (in my opinion)

    There no chance Jackson goes to the PSD or plays for us or sits out a year. You chest puffers need to give that rubbish a rest. He’s most likely going to Freo and an outside chance to go the WC. We’ll get fairly compensated and move on. I’d be astounded if at the end of the trade and draft period this club isn’t better off than it was before. 
    Player movement is now part of the game and we’ve be adept at using it to our advantage.

    but the hwfua deal was completely different in many ways. there was no trading with gws at all

    There's talk that freo have offered 13 and F1. Problem is we want that straight up, and they want something coming back.

    If we're happy with 13 and F1 straight up then I do think this deal will get done sooner rather than later.

    Sure, but I was talking about any sort of deal being done really early anytime by any club.  And used the Scully deal of 10 years ago as an example

    Gone are the days where clubs waited for the off-season to trade players 

    As an aside, I reckon all the clubs know how much any player earns and for how long.  At any club

    its not a deal worthy of a Pick 3, rising star that will get $800k a year for 6 years. There simply has to be a top 10 pick. a top 10 pick gives us the chance to split the pick as well

    Zero chance we get a top 10 pick from fremantle. Especially now that port is after JHF. 

    Unless wce come to the party and split their pick 2 then we're getting unders. And even if they did, it would be something around say 7, 24 (F2) vs 13, 10 (I expect freo to fall next year). I don't think there's too much difference between those two offers.

    there is not zero chance, but it does appear unlikely. And he is not going to WCE. Just wont happen. This is why all along i have said this will be nearly the last deal done.

    Nope. Took him at 16 and after four pretty uninspiring years, traded him to SA for pick 12. At the time, a reasonable deal.

    I do not want to see Jackson at the Eagles. The Eagle will bounce back up the ladder if not next year soon after, Freo will always be a basket case.

    The following top 10 picks I think are more gettable than the others:

    Pick 5: currently at Adelaide, on the way to GC who seem keen to spread their list with future picks

    Pick 7: at GC, on the way with Bowes, possibly open to Ess or Geel downgrades. Bombers need more picks, Geel could use more to get trades done 

    Pick 8: at Port, possibly on the way to North who could do better with multiple picks to restock their list 

    Pick 9: St Kilda, think they’ll value multiple picks to restock their youth 
     

    With 3 of those picks set to move hands I don’t think a Jackson deal will be quick if we want to make sure a top 10 pick comes with it

    we didn't want him to go tho

    also, he was building beautifully into the player he became at the crom - a 300 game, best and fairest winning, powerhouse midfielder

    Agree with that WSW. I s'pose my point is that after 39 games at the Deez, it wasn't obvious to me he was going to be the wonderful payer he turned into at Rundle Maul. We sure could have used him ah?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
