Not so sure if he keeps getting injured !!

Like him as Captain but no good injured as often. 

The only way i can see this working is if we get pick 13 and next years first rounder, we then try and offload 13 for something in the top 10 with other picks thrown in.

Seems to me freo are in a bind.  What they ask for and get for their outgoings sets the tone for the Jacko deal.  If they push for higher picks for the players leaving, then that has to set a value for what we ask of them.  I would say to them get the other deals done first, then let’s chat.

So we take 13 and next years approx 13 for LJ and Tigers pay 12 and 19 this year for Taranto.

Lachie Weller gets Freo 2.

Oh yeah!

Yep soz Luke but I give precisely 0 [censored] about your desire to land at Fremantle. Should have stayed put. Now you can go to a bottom 2 side. 

..and work your guts out with no Max

 

Any posters who study the draft closely have any info on Cambell Chesser? I wonder if West Coast are in for Jackson if it’s someone we might enquire about. He’s been injured this year. I remember a lot of posters thought we would pick him with our first pick last year but I think WC picked him a few picks in front of us. 
Rookie me central says he’s strengths are 

+Speed, kicking, Class, Versatility, Outside run, Breaking lines. 
Sounds perfect for us and from Victoria too.

West Coast will be laughing

Freo have nothing to trade unless they are prepared to give up a top five player.

WCE will split its second pick into say 7 and 10 and we will end up with one of those and WCE's future first. (Not great)

The only comfort I will take is that Freo who fanned the flames will end up burnt

If we get 7 and WCE 1st pick next year - that would be great. 

It also won’t happen.

You would think West Coast would like nothing more than to gazump Freo in this deal.

Freo are amatuers. All year to prepare for the trade and it looks like they have sat on their hands

 

It's early days hang loose everyone.

Perhaps they thought the contract money would scare WCE off and we would be left with no choice.

It has certainly been less than satisfactory on their part

can't see the eagles getting out of the bottom 6. Lose Kennedy and Rioli etc.  So F1 would be great

There is zero chance the Eagles trade their first round pick next year.

They will know they are destined for another bottom 4 finish, so it would be crazy for them to do that.

Freo have received a future 2nd &3rd from North for Logue and Tucker. Gives them more draft capital to get Jackson.

No

Just before the apologists argue that a North future second is almost a future first

Added to the offer they have already made I think this  future second gets it done. We would like more but I feel that’s enough to get the deal done.

I reckon this Logue deal could have unlocked the deal. 

pick 13, freos future first and NM future second likely (19) 

that pick holds enormous value and i think it's as good an outcome as we're likely to get unless West Coast did legitimately become an option. 

Not good enough. Time to go deal with West Coast exclusively. Freo are incompetent. Any pick outside top 10 for Jackson is a failure.

If Freo can turn pick 13 & Nth F2nd into a pick inside 7, and add a F1st, I reckon we have a deal.

They can still bundle 13 with Lobb pick or Acres pick and improve it . They can also trade a player to us. Sounding like it will get done.

Wouldn't NM future second go for Grundy?
