We also received a future 2nd round pick from Freo (for Jackson) which we later traded to move our own first round pick up in the draft to secure Tholstrup

So it's Jefferson, Windsor & a needed 2nd round pick to secure Tholstrup

All three lads have got some work to do if we’re to be victorious in this trade.

From the Gather round onwards, Jackson was outstanding and exciting for Freo and was the forward-ruck we were screaming out for in the Carlton final. He’s proven to me that he’ll probably be a regular top 10 commodity in the AFL after being critical of him in 2022 and suggesting that his 2021 GF was a bit overblown.

Makes it all the more frustrating that he phoned in the 2022 finals series when we needed him the most.

Two of Windsor, Jefferson and Mr Sunglasses would have to be regular top 50 players to win this trade I reckon.

jackson was outstanding once darcy was injured and out of his way

Only time will tell but I have a good feeling about all three of Jefferson, Windsor and Tholstrup even though none of them can replace LJ they can eventually fill three spots on the list so the search will continue for his replacement.!!

When we pick up Darcy as a free agent at the end of this year, after he chooses to leave because they brought Jackson in, the scales will be firmly tilted in our favour.
