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.

    The Frogs are still resentful about how we screwed them on the Jesse deal. This is Peter Bell we're talking about remember.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
