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.

    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

    • 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.

      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.
