We can all speculate, but he clearly hasn't decided.

I think a flag this year would probably tilt his thinking towards staying, but only signing on for another 2 years.

Or....

A second premiership medal might get him thinking he has achieved the ultimate success... twice!

What more is there to achieve that potentially can't also happen at Freo?

If we go B2B I would wish him well and thank him for his contribution towards our success

So what sort of compensation can the dockers give us given their position on the ladder.

If they play in an elimination final and lose, it will be either pick 11 or 12. Semi final loss = pick 13 or 14. Prelim loss = pick 15 or 16.

Wherever it falls will also be pushed back at least 1 spot because of the Lions f/a access to Ashcroft who is tipped to go #1. Kangas might get a compensation pick but that remains to be seen, both if they get it and where it will fall in the draft order.

Summation. Nothing that comes close to Jackson's value.

Edit: this is all prior to trading for other picks/players/futures etc...

1st round pick around 14 plus perhaps what they get for Lobb (early 2nd rounder?) Would like Meek in the deal too

Some will scream that it's not enough. It'll never be enough. But that's what is realistic given what they have.

I'd actually ask for their future 1st rather than this year's. Take the gamble Freo might slide in 2023

I actually don't mind this, could do a hell of a lot worse.

Freo's future 1st would give access to 2 x first rounders next year to use or trade. Not sure who has our 1st this year. Sydney or North?

Better still would be Freo's 2022 first and their 2023 first plus Meek

Edit. Having said that, I'd much prefer Dogga re-sign for 2 or more!

This is pretty close. Wonder if we could go 22 first, 23 first and meek for jacko and 22 or 23 2nd

That's it, just a bit more potential bargaining power. I believe it may be North but not sure.

If...if Brisbane get knocked out finals W1 and Freo make it thorough to prelim, we could perhaps do some swapping with Brisbane

They need points for Ashcroft

Melb get Brisbane's pick 10 plus Freo future 1st (or what they get for Lobb) plus Meek

Brisbane get freo 1st (15) plus Melb 2nd (36) 

Freo get Dogga for 7 years

We will get both their current and future first rounders at a minimum or whatever variation of that pops up after all the trades are done. We may end up sending a 2nd rounder back but no way freo gets away with a mid to late first rounder + steak knives.

That's speculation.

Jackson may not have told the club or his teammates, but I reckon his manager has given the club an inkling of his intentions to leave.

I mentioned Freo 1st + what they get for Lobb (around 20-22 maybe) + Meek, thats more than steak knives

Regardless, I trust the club to get a good result and for Taylor and Lamb to weave their magic. Never did i have that faith during the dark times!

Probably one of the better suggestions, is to get Jacko a Melbourne girlfriend, who wants to stay here close to her family.

Love should be stronger than money or homesickness.

Indeed

Fair, steak knives is probably not the correct term. 

Regardless we are getting minimum 2 first rounders.

(If) an in-principle agreement has been made between our club and the destination club for LJ's services then a fair bit of wriggle room has to be factored in as well

For instance, a month or so ago a number of people here were suggesting that we should take what we can get for LJ  ... but now those types have gone quiet and the new thinking is that any sort of trade value heading our way probably won't be enough

LJ's stocks are rising by the week and that's good for us.  Gawn's excellent game forward on Friday can mean that LJ continues on as the main ruckman and there's no reason that he can't excel as the main man

Those that do not rate LJ are extremely naive and foolish. 
He is fully dialed in to win a 2nd Premiership Medal, before anything is signed.

There is genuine love and respect both ways between Luke and the MFC. If he goes home, it is purely family reasons

I actually think it will have the opposite effect. If he leaves winning 2 flags, what more could he give to the MFC. He may feel like he has unfinished business with us if we don’t win it.

If I had a choice, I’d rather he leave after winning his second flag, than if he stayed and we didn’t.

Agree, I’ve been saying this for a while. The more success you have, the easier it is to leave. 
 

Like you said, what more can you offer?

To add to this:

13 disposals at 92% efficiency

8 contested possessions 

1 goal, 9 score involvements

5 tackles

4 clearances and 4 I50s

It was some sort of game

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
