That would absolutely be treated as draft tampering and there is no way the AFL would go along with it.

Fair enough... But how did the Lachie Weller trade go ahead then?  Surely they can say there were no guarantees (North could pick him) and the player they got from Freo fits an important need.  There's enough ways they could deny any tampering (although equally it could blow up in their face)

    I think we'll happily take a top 10 pick and move on, but anything less than that is robbery.

    Freo holding off trading Lobb so they don't have more to offer imo

     

    I thought this at first too but they aren’t even offering what they have at the minute in terms of a future second rounder.

    If they want us to send a pick back, I’d want the future 2nd from North to be added to package.

    At that point I’d add a future 3rd (2nd at a stretch) back to them. Failing Freo lifting a finger to get us a pick further up the order, that’s a deal that would work.

    That’s not true, he’ll be fine 

    Well he hasn't been fine in the past and you only think he may be fine in the future so no guarantees

    We need replacements ready in planning

    So, Freo have asked Jackson to go in the psd, “demand” $1.5M per year and let other clubs pass until he gets picked up by Freo. Jackson has sad no.

    Just tell him and his mother he goes into the draft and wait for the reaction.

    And if he did, North could afford to accept any conditions he applies and then he is their player, to trade in another year.

    He could end up at Essendon, North, GWS, lol. Especially if WC give away there 2 

    Yes, get a one year contract and play for more finals action. We are in the "sweet" spot with our club 

    WCE are still 2nd in the PSD, even if they give away 2 in the ND.

    If he goes into the PSD, it will be North who may be happy just to have him a year to trade or WCE.

    He won't get to Freo.

    But we will get nothing.

    Nothing, wow.

    What a risk to take interstates, or those with emotional ties to other clubs.

    What use is us doing any development,  only for them to leave as free agency. 

    Are you sure the AFL don't offer any compo as free agents in the draft?

    He is not a free agent, he is an uncontracted player. If he goes in the PSD we get nothing, but it appears he won't do that, thankfully.

    I don't think we can presume that either.

    One club will blink. I am now suspecting we are being bent over big time.

    It's sounding like we will get 13 and maybe 13 next year and if Freo blinks, North's future 3rd, though obviously North's future 2nd would be much better.

    Also for this situation to be arrived at Freo would have known, Jacko wouldn't have known and that's the mob that arrived the negotiation here.

    Send him to draft, stop making it easy for these young players to leave.

    We give them the basics and have them as development that they take, and run home if their "local" team pays enough, otherwise back to draft and end up anywhere.

    I think the AFL has to offer more compo so as to facilitate these freedom of movement and employment contracts. 

    So an original pick 3, plus the development goes for less. 

    Good idea actually!👌👏

    So, are freo prepared to pay him $1.5m per year, because if such a thing happened and they did not then that would be draft tampering and they should be kicked hard, even to ask something like that is a disgrace if it is true.

    I'll be honest it sounds like bs. No one, not even fremantle, can afford 1.5mil a year.

    Redleg tells me we don't get any compo from an non-contracted player.

    Though still sends a message of, commitment to us.

    LJ will get to Freo, WC aren’t interested and are only saying they are interested just in case he falls to the pre-season draft.

    Getting a bit overall peed off with all this

    Dogga say he won’t let Dees get screwed over - how?

    Freo had months to work out how to make an equitable deal and are now playing games like holding Lobb deal over so they don’t include anything they get in a Jackson deal.

    WC are just a non starter side issue.

    Now media saying we should just accept unders which they don’t do for any other deal. How about instead of that they report “Freo should put up a fair deal for a former pick 3 with great credentials. They’ve had plenty of time to work it out”

    But could that contract be renegotiated if he got to Freo, after say a year?

    It’s just the same thing Carlton did with Martin a few years ago. $1.5m would only be in the first year.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
