We cld push the Freo low ball onto the Pies Grundy deal.

Ie. ' we wont accept Freo deal and therefore look to sign Jackson up for another year or two, thereby forgoing the Grundy deal, unless Pies accept a late 2 rounder rather than 1st (incl cap support), to which we would accept the Freo deal. 

 

Why would Jackson sign for another one or two? He’ll go into ND or PSD if we don’t get a trade done.

Something will get done and we will get roughly what we want.

The Eagles are just sitting and watching at the moment but may come hard.

If they split pick 2 for picks 5 & 7 from the Suns then suddenly they are right in the hunt.

Nobody is giving up pick 5 & 7 for pick 2.

13 + Logue to North for 8

8 + F1st to us for Jackson + 32

This makes sense, however is the longest and messiest option. The JHF news only really broke last night, while it has been bubbling under the service, so it's likely to take a very long time for them (Port & Nth) to work through. Unlike our talks with Freo which would have been happening for weeks. In fact there's so many deals this trade period that are just messy and relying on other deals to be done first.

Jackson to North . JHF to us as a swap. OK mums..

Game plan related?  Hunt has pace, from what others are saying that is Bowes achilles heel. 

Yeah, I just feel Bowes can give them better use of the footy and maybe more capacity to go into the middle.

I didn't mean just a straight swap, there would be other picks involved.

But if they do want to do the Bowes deal for 7 it won't happen anyway.

Then what do we use for Grundy? Please god not a 1st rounder 🙏 

PS. I like the idea of Freo's future 1st, bc I wonder if they might slide back a little and also because of the quality of next years draft

After North loses a kid from interstate they are not going to take another ‘wantaway’ player in the PSD. The only leverage we have is with WCE being in the race for him. But that comes with the not insignificant chance of us getting nothing for him.

We are going to settle for less than market because Freo just won’t be able to get near market for him.

North get him for free, even if it's only for a year or so, so they are in the equation.  They will know they won't get him long term but even short term with loads of salary cap space, they may as well grab him for a year or so

Back in 2012/2013 we would have acquired such a player and taken the chance that he might stay longer

However, I highly doubt it would get that far anyway.  But we need to hold firm

By the way, I still value Jackson highly.  He has the potential to be an A grade player.  So in effect, we need to have a keeper mentality

As previously noted, the club has almost certainly told Freo what we need in return so they need to come to the party

O hope I'm wrong but feel like we're going to get stooged with this one..

That is probably true but I'm sure many will try to sell the deal as great

I was thinking that too.

However If he's that home sick and absolutely must return to WA (which he must be if he's quitting the club he won a flag at) and a trade can't be arranged then I think there's more chance he sits out a year of footy then comes back to the MFC.

I'm sure a trade will be arranged though even if we have to accept unders. He's out of contract so we don't hold the whip hand. If he was under contract then we could ask for overs.

 

If he can't get to WA and doesn't go to North I'd prefer him to sit out rather than play a year at Melbourne.  That would be disruptive in all sorts of ways.  (But a deal will be done is much more likely.)

WC list manager says they are definitely in the hunt for Jackson.

This is a very good scenario for us as it keeps Freo honest during discussions and if they genuinely want him they have the trade capital to get it done.

I bet you one billion dollars Jackson doesn't end up at North. It's simply not in play.

WC are just saying this to keep the PSD threat live.

They said they'd be open to splitting pick 2 so you're completely wrong. Not only that, there is zero bad blood between Jackson and club and I'd be absolutely astonished if Jackson rejected a move to West Coast if Freo couldn't make the deal work. The amount of posters who believe the PSD is a risk is funny really. It would take an incredibly rare turn of events for it to go down that path from here. 

West Coast's interest puts pressure on Freo to get it done. 

We'll be fine either way.

Forces Freo to get it done otherwise West Coast will pounce.

Your second paragraph assumes your first paragraph hypothesis is wrong. It’s a risk or it’s not.

Its a risk and I hope it gets Freo to give up something of value.

At no stage did I ever say that Jackson will end up at North

But it is a possibility if an agreement isn't made with Freo or West Coast

Same as when Nick Stevens ended up at Carlton (pre-season draft) when Port wouldn't accept unders from Collingwood in a trade

And I'd be surprised if we don't reach an agreement with one of the WA clubs (probably Freo) for Jackson

But I'll take the Billion to 1 odds anyway ... I'll have a fiver on at those odds

Could have reached an in principle agreement already.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
