    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

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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 return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
