Its our right but we are so keen to post our 3c worth it's become a free for all rubbish topic.  We don't  need to read most of the offerings as they are off the mark anyway. 

There's some irony in this post

I wouldn't be surprised if West Coast are the one's that have made the God father offer and have been the team he's going to the entire time.

I heard all the hype about that show and watched the lot thinking "it's got to get better"

This is what’s really going on. And why we are so unfussed.

We will walk in pick 2 and probably something else and never look back and Jackson will take the giant wads of cash freed up by the aging list there.

That's why I've been wanting North to finish last. Just in case. Teams pretty much never trade pick 1, but might trade pick 2

West Coast would do it anyway I reckon. They’ll have tons of cap space and it kick starts their rebuild with a known quantity.

 

Freo just can’t get it done

Trading out pick 1 would be a fair bit harder sell to their supporters than trading out pick 2 imo. Pick 1 hasn't been traded away in a fair while

Adelaide -rankine 

G coast - harmes,anb, pick 2 & pick 4 second round pick Adelaide 

melb - Ben king second round pick west coast 

west coast - Jackson 

we have plenty of small half forward types in vfl to cover anb and harmes and frees up some cap 

maybe Gold Coast use a pick on established mid like Tom Mitchell 

would u swap Ben king for jackson?

Educated guess or do you have some solid info to share?

Fingers crossed you are right.

Why would Gold Coast want Harmes, ANB or be interested in Tom Mitchell.

And if I'm GC, there's no way I'm trading Ben King for Jackson. King has committed to the club. He's worth Jackson plus a 1st round pick.

Sorry, no, on a reread that sounded much more authoritative than it should. I have no idea. Just seems to fit better all round.

Whatever happens in regards to trades, it’s clear from tonite and most of this year that as good as Jackson is and could be in the future, he is not dominant in the ruck, or as a forward or as a follower that warrants us going any harder than what we have - let him go and maximise the return while we can

Serious question, exactly what is Jackson contributing to the team at the moment? He's getting flogged in the ruck, can't take a mark and doesn't kick goals. He wants to get paid a fortune to run around like a midfielder, but he's getting 12 largely mediocre touches a week. Not having a third ruck on the list is a major list management failure.

Agree at the moment he isn’t worth a fraction of what we hear is on offer. Is the knee injury hampering him? Maybe but Freo must be wondering if he is what they need. Ruckman take years to mature and learn the caper. He is well down on form and contributes nothing up forward

And if he is a midfielder some of his decision making going forward was terrible. Could of gone short a few times instead of bombing forward, got lucky with the one fritsch mark

Might be a champion in the future but right now he is an ordinary second ruck. Numerous second ruckman around the competition are producing a lot more. I reckon the Weid contributes as much when he has been second ruck.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
