Eagles have to use their first draft pick this year under the AFL rules - so if they wanted LJ they’d have to get AFL approval. It’s not impossible, but I can’t see HQ loving it.

Apparently very likely (almost guaranteed) HQ would approve it.

    The sharpest steak knives I've seen was Jack Crisp, who was part of the Dayne Beams deal. 

    Greg Miller with North negotiated a transfer fee of 60k for John Longmuire with the Swans.

    To sweeten the deal he asked the Swans to throw in Wayne Carey for an extra 10k. Swans agreed.

    Carey has been on record referring to himself as steak knives.

    I hope this is a bunch of toilet paper:

    AFL trade news, rumours, whispers: Luke Jackson buys Western Australian property, move to Fremantle Dockers, Lachie Whitfield available, Paddy Dow, Deven Robertson, Rhys Mathieson (foxsports.com.au)

    Melbourne star Luke Jackson’s move to Fremantle has gained further momentum, with 7 News Perth’s Ryan Daniels reporting the 20-year old in March purchased a $1.74 million house in Western Australian suburb Shelley.

    Has this been reported anywhere? Not questioning what you’re saying, just intrigued as it’ll make a joke of the draft rules.

    Cal Twomey said on SEN a few weeks back he'd expect it to be ticked off due to Jackson's age & original draft pick he was selected at, for what it's worth

    The rule pretty much only exists to stop silly clubs like North trying to offer 5x future first rounders for a single player

    I personally think clubs should be able to trade several years into the future if they wanted to

    I’m terms of list management paying two ruckman 1.5 million plus a year, and they both don’t play that well forward isn’t a great idea?

    Nathan Jones (who played 4 games with LJ in 2020) who is more qualified than anyone else in the media to comment on Jackson had some thoughts on SEN tonight:

    1) the money being bandied around is ludicrous for LJ

    2) LJ is far too an inconsistent a player to warrant such money.

    3) LJ coming to Freo has the potential to be a culture killer for Fremantle. Not sure if he was referring to the magnitude of money that would be going to the one player or the player himself being a culture killer.

    The rule was brought in to stop struggling/re-building teams from thinking short term and bringer in older players. 

    Confidence in HQ approving is bc LJ is 20, and as close to a fresh draft pick as you can get. 

    Answering your question, I have heard it spoken about publicly, but can’t remember where

    Matthew Lloyd on 3AW stated that Jackson is pretty much gone.

    People can still say all they want that these comments from media people have no idea what's going on, but there's now enough jungle drums beating and it seems fairly certain he's gone. 

    You do wonder how this effects the morale in the team. Could it be a distraction or are they able to just brush it off mentally.

    I doubt the players would care to be honest, just focused on the job at hand

    Nathan Jones is spot on. Paying a guy a mil a year on potential is insanity. LJ would walk in as their most highly paid player having played like 40 games, and shown brilliant flashes but not been able to perform consistent. It’s a big roll of the dice

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
