Farewell Luke Jackson

[BDA 22,875]

Other than not signing his extension yet there has been zero indications that he won't stay. He was looking quite happy training with the other WA recruits in the off season. His parents are even talking about re-locating here.

I think the days of fretting over players re contracting are over for a while

Wonder if hes put talks on hold again? Worrying silence on this, don't want it to be a distraction all year.

Nothing ever gets announced at Tennis time...

If he has signed on the big announcement will happen when the footy kicks into gear from next week on.

Would take Clarry anytime over Viney anytime, more upside, more of a playmaker, just a better footballer all round.

I'm starting to get a bit worried about all this.   My sister's freinds brother Phil is in Cockburn (the suburb or Perth) works as an admin assistant to an estate agent was saying the other day that a they had a buyers agaent who was saying he worked for an AFL player of one of the successful East coast teams inquiring about property in the area.

He probably wants a holiday house near a beach to entertain his Demon team mates. Nothing wrong with that!

So Jackson is the only player that belongs to a successful east coast side. My wifes second cousins mistress told me that can't be true.

Long term deal has been put in front of him, talks on hold.

Because I have no doubt West Coast are working on a god father offer for LJ. They need a star after Nic Nat retires in 2-3 years whilst Freo don't really need him as much due to their young star ruck in Sean Darcy.

We'll be doing extremely well if we can get LJ on a long term deal. Extremely well.

Unless he's seen at the airport in a WCE T-shirt, going over to Perth to "inspect the facilities", nothing to worry about.

Unless his old man gets a job as a recruiter for WCE, nothing to worry about.

Running back to Perth didn't work out too well for Jessie - I think Luke knows he is in a very special place right now

The core of this premiership team can enjoy sustained success and get handsomely paid too along the way If they stick together

Plenty of examples of characters that chased the $$$'s only to be disappointed - its not all about money IMO

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,274]

Mods, can we change 'underway' to 'NOT finalised' until they are? I keep coming in with an expectation of movement (and in the right direction!) 😏

If Jack Darling retires which is looking that way, this will open up huge cap space for the Eagles.

It might be that he sees himself living in Perth for the better part of his career as his priority rather than just money or playing in successful sides, and that his parents have moved over to help him through some issues.

I'm predicting he'll sign a 2 year extension. Same as Clarry. They, or their managers, like to keep their options open.

Having said that, hopefully the flag (or hopefully) 2 ... or more would make a difference. Like Jee-long and Richmond players who signed on for 'unders'.
