We were going to draft him.

Geelong traded up by a spot.

Restricted out of contract.

Don't know our cap sito, but if we have space, throw the cheque book at him.

    IF WE HAVE SPACE!

    We could sign LeBron James to a super max extension this off season I reckon.

    Apparently Holmes cracked it being left out of their grand final side a couple years ago

    Do clubs really trade fair value

    We got nowhere approaching LJ's worth and if Petty goes we might get a high second round.

    Don't know much about Holmes... what is he worth (both pick and salary)

    The answer would be a resounding no based on the recent Grundy trade.

    We received a couple of mediocre picks in exchange for making a top 8 rival considerably stronger.

    Its a part of doing business. When you lose one you get unders, when one chooses to come your way you do better. If you work free agency to your advantage (in and out) you'll end up in front.

    “Nowhere approaching LJ’s worth”?

    You don’t think two first round picks was ”approaching” it?

    WOuld love his speed in the team. He is a great athlete. Hard to see Geelong letting him go. Players just don't seem to leave that club.

    No

    when given the picks were both expected to be around 14. Luck made the second year pick higher

    He was a pick 3 21 year old with proven high level skills. His $1M salary put him in the top 20-40 salary wise in the league

    Not saying we could have done better but we got nowhere near his future worth

    Jefferson in 2022 for example shows that pick 14/15 doesn't equal Jackson

    Been thinking this a long time after it was highly public Geelong usurped us.. pace is big plus and would suit our mids given he’s more outside overall but can win it inside as well..

    This.

    We paid nowhere near Grundy's market value to get him to us. The fact we completely @#$%^& it up is a different issue. We also picked up BBB for a song and got Langers for a set of steak knives.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
