What goes around comes around

I'm sure there'll be Vic players on the Freo list that will want to come home so it would be short sighted of Freo not to be reasonable dealing with us

    The majority of the their midfield is from Victoria, including their emerging star ruckman. 

    I agree with you, but Peter Bell seems not to be a reasonable.

    Peter Bell he is not always unreasonable ... just drives a hard bargain.  As we should do with Freo re Jackson

    As for negotiating with Bell, in the end, we came out way in front with the Langdon deal ... effectively he came for a 2nd round pick.  Last 2 years in the conversation for AA honours

    And the Hogan deal turned up trumps which delivered us May & Sparrow via picks 6 & 22

    Heard from a reliable source the following: Luke Jackson’s family is pushing for him to move back to WA. Specifically, his mother, who wants him back in WA. Freo may not be able to get the deal done, but the family’s preference is for him to play for Freo and not West Coast. They are heavy in the ear of his manager. It seems the decision to head home is not entirely Luke’s. Take it or leave it. The source is pretty solid though

    Family comes first. If they want him to head home then there must be a very good reason why. Hopefully the club and freo can get a satisfactory deal done and we can all move on

    No, I haven’t bothered to read this thread for weeks. If it has been mentioned elsewhere here, my apologies. That may suggest that the info is fairly solid then, as this source has been in the past.

    The club should be commended with the way it has handled the possible exit of LJ.  We've acted like pro's all the way through and there has not been an element of distraction

    And Jackson the same.  In recent weeks he has taken on more responsibility on the field and if he is on the move, it doesn't show

    So much so that he is going to be hard to replace if he does go.  I'm hoping for a stalemate with regards to a trade.  Which may lead to him re-signing with us

    I don't see a problem with us overvaluing LJ.  The possible deal looks like it's more so with Freo but if it is West Coast as an alternate, they've got pick 2 in the ND (plus some extra's)

    I have also heard that Luke Jackson is in debt to a Pokémon trading card dealer and the only way he can get out of his debt is to go to WA.

    We must have the same mail.

    Having some connections through my brother over there this doesn't surprise me. I really hope he's thinking long and hard about this one as history has shown moving to Freo is a poison chalice.... other than the money you earn.

    He will instantly be their highest paid player and if he doesn't perform the fans will become feral. Not sure he is ready to take on that type of burden but time will tell.

    I've been thinking about this and more than anything I hope for Luke's sake he doesn't go to Fremantle.  I'm not sure the culture at that club is all that healthy, evidenced by Hogan's experiences, and Langdon also doesn't seem like he had a happy time there.  Hogan's experiences in particular haunt me - I don't know if it was poor treatment towards him by the club, or other issues, but clearly a move home was not good for him, and he himself has stated he regrets leaving Melbourne.  And yes, the things Freo fans say about Hogan is horrible.  I don't want the same thing to happen to Luke, I really don't.  I would much prefer for him to stay at a club where it seems he is happy, and he is being well looked after.  Because he doesn't seem like a guy that possesses a lot of street smarts.

    Didn't GNF get heavily bagged on here for the same information?

    • 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.
