Deefender 254 Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Gary Ayres was centre half back during a Hawthorn golden period. His coach Alan Jeans said “he’s a good driver in heavy traffic.” Judd McVee is a good driver in heavy traffic. 7 2 Quote

dazzledavey36 56,334 Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Jon Ralph. Fremantle star Luke Jackson told his management only days ago he wanted to play in the club’s first premiership despite a new relationship that will see Victorian clubs asking about his services. Melbourne-based clubs have not given up hope of luring Jackson home despite five more seasons on a contract that will pay him over $4 million in that time. Given the trade period is seven months away anything could happen despite him being traded from Fremantle three years into his career. But Jackson is understood to have told his management across the weekend it was a lifestyle choice to come back home which he wanted to see out. He was aware of murmurs about his future at that stage. But he is chasing Fremantle’s first flag (he was part of the 2021 Demons premiership) and is largely happy at the Dockers after moving home three years into a career that started at Melbourne. His preferred position is to play first ruck or around the ball as a modern-day rover rather than spending his time predominantly as a key forward. He lives in Fremantle, has two properties in the west and enjoys the beach lifestyle that is part of being a Dockers player. Jackson told the club on Sunday he was content at Fremantle and he has a deal through to 2029 that the Dockers would not release him from. Jackson, 23, is in a relationship with former Australian Diamond and Fox commentator Kelsey Browne, who is working with the West Coast Fever in media and commentary. Fremantle would never consider a trade for a player with 10 more seasons to play at the Dockers, with five years remaining on his current deal. So while Jackson might have been open-minded about moving to Victoria he will see out his deal at Fremantle. The Dockers have the option of sweetening a contract that is incentive-laden and pays him extremely well but not in the top echelon of AFL players. Just as Essendon’s Zach Merrett was able to use rival interest to ensure his contract was one of footy’s most lucrative, Jackson could also cash in. The 23-year-old’s deal doesn’t give him the guaranteed money that many of the game’s stars have been able to secure. He is able to earn over $800,0000 a year if he hits incentives, but as the Herald Sun revealed last year there will be as many as 60 AFL millionaires by 2027. 4 Quote
