    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?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • 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.
