Wonder if Freo pulled or lowered their offer for him to now just say he wants a WA club? Who knows.

    Just a couple of points.

    1. Jackson is going home to be a part of his family and build his life in Perth. His family are into Fremantle. As a consequence, there is very little chance of him going to West Coast. The only reason West Coast get involved and we keep that negotiation open is to try and secure a better deal. Those two teams hate each other.

    2. The Grundy negotiations involve two factors, how much salary Collingwood will pay and draft picks. So if they pay $400,000 per year of his ongoing salary and we take up $600,000, then we would have to offer up a pick around 10. If it's only $200,000  Collingwood pay and we carry the rest (god forbid) then theres a point where they should be giving us a pick.

    Whats the equilibrium???? For me I don't really want to pay much more than about $500,000 a year for Grundy and he's worth about pick 25-30. 

    I don't think that will satisfy Collingwood and I hope we don't get shafted. I don't like the deal. Leave them in a world of pain.

    Could we tell Collingwood we will do the deal, but then pull out at the last minute when it’s too late for them to sort something else out to get their other deals done?

    Yes, I know. Am still angry.

    • Demonland changed the title to Luke Jackson Has Requested a Trade Home

    Worst kept secret in AFL.

    Now lets do what suits us best and get the best deal that sets up our list for the future.

    Doubt it

    it was more the Eagles matching the Freo money I'm sure.

    Freo has a big dilemna. The only way it can remotely match what the Eagles can offer is to trade a player

    Disappointed and I will boo when we play against him.

    (But he is a MFC immortal and i will cherish that. Good luck Luke.)

    My apologies to Old Dee. He said very early on that he considered Jacko would go. Smart-A me commented that if Old Dee thought that he was going, then I was more than convinced he would stay.

    Thank you and good luck.

    Now get us the best deal possible Tim Lamb.

    Over easily.

    Sucks obviously, but depending on how we play it, we can benefit enormously from this trade. In fact, I think we could be a better team without Jackson, so long as we use his currency wisely.

    I would also think pick 2 isn't quite enough value. I'd prefer Pick 2 and a late first rounder/early second and us give up something around the 30s in addition to Jackson. Maximise the trade.

    It will likely be pick 3 after FS selections (Ashcroft) - but that's still a great result for us. 

    We are never going to receive 'overs' for an uncontracted player. The best we can hope for is adequate compensation.

    Pick 3 is as about as good as we could realistically hope for.

    Unlike you, I will not be accepting mediocrity in any trade, 2 first round picks or a top 5 pick and one of their best young players.

    At least he has left his options open to either WC or Freo. Hopefully we can have a Dutch auction & get the best deal for the club.

    At least its offical, action can be taken.  It doesn't say a club so that gives us more flexibility.

    I remember thinking during the 'will Hogan go home' days that if he won us a flag I wouldn't care if he went back to Perth. The same really applies here to Jackson although it doesn't feel that way right now.

    Whatever

    I never liked you anyway Luke

    They've done it against West Coast, they have pulled the wool over everyones eyes.

    Tanked the lights out to secure L.Jackson, the dots have well and truely been joined.

    Fremantle are screwed here.....

    Well and truely no plan B here 

    That will wipe the smug look from Bell's dial.

    This absolute numpty WCE supporter from Subiaco just rang up SEN, saying how much he wants Jacko - said ruckman take time, he has won rising star etc etc, then said he would only want to offer pick 20 and first rounder next year.

    Are you sure you want to live in Perth with these kind of people Luke?

    All the best Luke, no hard feelings.
    Backing Lamb and JT to turn this into a positive. 
    If West Coast are keen tell them it’s pick 2 and steak knives, tell Freo they better talk to North about pick one

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
