If West Coast are interested and he want to go there I think it get done pretty easily. 
As of round 15 they had picks 2,20 and 25. 
Given that we will probably make a play for Brisbanes first round pick that could then come into play. 
Would probably involve more than deal with several different clubs and LH has said future picks would prob be involved( our future first for one). But I think it would get over the line pretty easy. 
If he decides to go and nominates Freo then that a whole different ball game. 
Fingers crossed he decides to say and it’s not an issue.

    Lions will probably get Ashcroft as F/S, touted to go pick 1-5 so will want to ditch their first round pick as Bulldogs and Pies did last year for Darcy and Daicos.

    But we would have to trade out something/someone of equivalent first round value to get that whereas our 'natural first round pick, which we don't have is 'free'.

    Not necessarily, we've been pretty good at identifying teams needing points for FS/academy selections and trading up the draft order by bundling picks. I know they've changed the rules on this recently but if we package picks 36 (at this stage) & 41 we may be able to move up.

    Plus we don't know whether we'll get any compo if Gus decides to leave or a trade in a 2nd round pick if someone asks for a trade (say Hunt?)

    Ah - why?

    Because the AFL makes up the rules as they go (plus they have the ability to waive the rules if they deem fit). The AFL brought in the rule to stop teams mortgaging their future but Jackson is only in his 3rd season so giving up pick 2 or 3 for him when he was a pick 3 three years ago will be signed off easily.

    They did a similar thing with the Hawks or Cats a few years back, signed off on them trading out a pick when they hadn't used enough in the 4 year period.

    Twomey says the AFL would be likley to grant the exemption in the article, on the AFL website so I’d say you are correct.

    What Niall doesn’t say is that if LJ stays at Melbourne he WILL have an elite Midfield to work with 

    The Media want him to go. It creates more Media 

    Yep they are just a bunch of wall drawers disguised as sentence compositors. Media is on the nose at the moment, and their target is us. They need to break the chain and they don't care who they ruin. Fancy not attacking  Collingwood or Footscray  or Geelong or Twsnbn continuously, they deserve it.

    We just have to stand firm and say very little. 
    i said years ago on here, we can become one of the Power Clubs in Australia, with the right people in charge. It takes time and onfield sustained success 

    The Media expect the MFC to fail….

    Wonder if there is a Brisbane forum with a hot thread full of people worrying he won't nominate for F/S aha.

    Got 51 touches the other week, magnet.

    Not too sure about LJ having a girlfriend. I watched the That's Good For Footy link that someone placed on this thread and he said he'd never had a girlfriend 😪

    I just don’t get this ‘go home’ factor.

    I’d be absolutely stoked to get out of Perth.

    1st half v cats. 2 kicks 8 handballs.  7 handballs to a player right next to him under more pressure and costs turnovers.  Gotta get inside his head that he is free and running and can hit a target himself.  Such a talent but needs coaching.

    Get this crap over with already. If he wants to go home, send him to Casey and bring in a replacement. Sick of this thread already. 
     

    He was [censored] poor tonight - not sure whether it was injury - or mental. But he will become a liability if he doesn’t sign.

    Does nothing to send him to Casey. We want to keep him. So we play him. If we can rest Gawn towards the back end we will be well placed come finals. If Jackson can help us do that he is contributing to another premiership run.

    Played like a guy that was already on a plane half way to Perth.

    My very strong mail, and it won’t come as any surprise, is that Jackson will be playing in WA next year.  The Club even offered to move his family to Melbourne recently and it was rejected.

    If you're reporting this then yep clearly he's gone.

    What are we're thinking in return?

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
