Fremantle Have  Reportedly Offered Luke Jackson$10.5 million over 7 year deal.

Will be very hard to resist if true.

Yeah Sure, he would know.

 

 

 

 

Nothing that is.

    Not sure how much credibility he has now that he is pursuing the hot take media route after flopping as a coach.

    The Sumich family are big potato growers in the west and Pete always had an affinity with the product

    If there is any integrity in the system Gus will be an AA half back. This combined with his heroics in the GF make him indispensable. Hopefully he will retire as an all time great Demon. 

    Talking to my daughter this arvo who's in Perth. She's sure she saw a Gus interview a couple of weeks ago with Gus stating he eventually would like to get to Freo to play with his brother. I've asked her to hunt the interview down and send it to me

    He's mentioned he would love to play with his brother, that was on the Gus & Gawny podcast, he made no mention then of it being at Freo.

    Hah, I'm in Perth and that would have been widely reported. 

    The Sumich "news" would be a massive risk considering the players they need to resign to keep their well developing list together.  Also they already have 2 very handy rucks and Dogga is not a key forward.  So where does he fit into their team?  They had trouble getting Fyfe back in based on the current team structure.  And given the previous StuffIts i.e. Hogan and others, would they risk so much for a young player.

    I doubt it, he wouldn't come out and say that and if he did  it would already be splashed over victorian media.

    You've got it all wrong, GREENY would be streaming out of the centre square giving the handball to CLARRY!

    Freo could also offer the tutorage of the players most similar to how you’d play Jackson to unleash all his potential, in Nate Fyfe. 
    Jackson goes to Freo to be Fyfes replacment in the middle. 
    plus 10,000,000 AUS

    Well done to out recruitment team for selecting a flight risk at pick 3 on the assumption he ends up going.

    The most obvious strategy of a list manager and head of recruitment is to use a high end draft pick on a player that is based in his/her/they club’s state. It’s not rocket science and there was some mighty fine Victorian based players picked in the top 10 of the 2019 draft. Eg - Hayden Young who looks like he’ll be a generational talent.

    Serong and Young and next year’s first rounder...for starters

    And we throw in our first rounder and Trent Rivers to somewhat balance the ledger that you’ve proposed.

    Freo will not be giving up any of their high end talent for Jackson. Particularly with Peter Bell at the table.

    It will more likely be Freo’s 2022 and 2023 first round draft picks for Jackson and Melbourne’s 2022 second round draft pick assuming both clubs still have their future draft picks.

    Wtf…

    Jackson IS the generational talent

    He’s already a premiership player who changed the course of the grand final

    He was directly involved in just one of our seven goals in the third quarter of the GF.

    While I’m nervous, this was always going to happen. We’re just not used to it.

    I really hope Jackson re-signs. For the next 15 years.

    I’ve tried looking at this from differing perspectives.

    1. If the numbers or term are close to true, Jacko would be absolutely insane to turn that down. The average AFL career would only be 3-4 years, making it through another 7 years would be no guarantee. (See how Collingwood feel about their 7 year contract with Grundy right now?)

    2. If the numbers or term are even close to true and he takes it, our return on investment would be big. There’s some serious capital coming our way in the form of players and picks to get that deal done. He was a high draft pick, he’s been a part of a flag, his potential is endless however he may not become any more than he currently is - a handy backup ruck.

    3. If Peter Bell was such a [censored] and or so astute with the Hogan deal, I find it hard to believe he’s recklessly overseeing a 7 year contract

    Interesting times for sure.

    I said earlier that I am unsure whether Jacko ever becomes a permanent ruck or a permanent forward. If he was to leave, you could hardly blame him with that sort of deal in front of him. I also don’t think it’s a bad result for MFC. We’ve broken a very long premiership drought and even if we are ‘in the window’ for a few years to come, i don’t think Jacko staying or going will define our chance at more flags.

    Your MFCSS is out of control at the moment BBP. 

    We have an excellent recruitment team. JT is best in the business. We don't win a premiership without his genius selections

    Dogga will most likely re-sign. But even if he doesn't he was still worth it imv. And we'll get plenty in return in any trade

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
