I have some friendly advice for posters with sesquipedalian tendencies.

Don't use a big word when a singularly unloquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity.

such a grandiloquent response, n'est-ce pas?

I think it is an irony that in the Luke Jackson thread, the word sobriquet appears…

And it is interesting that the average footballers perspicacious nature explodes when they move home to WA and realise they don’t want to be there.   

Perhaps the problem might derive from the actions of their oleaginous agents.

Pickett for Jackson would be very very funny

I’ll take it

If we had LJ filling in for Max's rests it'd give us so much flexibility with our forward line up. It'd mean Max could rest forward too.

Can we send a delegation to share lunch with him very publicly in Fremantle mid-year?

A little "show me the money" whilst his team are trying to fit in more superstars?

Luke recently switched management to Corporate Sports Australia. And if you want to believe the freo supportes on bigfooty then they're the reason so many players have left the club in recent times lol. Apparently almost all of the players that left them over the last few years have been managed by CSA. They know how to get their clients the $$$.

Freo played like fiddles if they extend him.

this has all the hallmarks of a request for a trade at the end of the season

I’ll definitely be here, and [I have loved] my time here

That’s graphic had every one fooled. He actually said “I am not leaving next year.” And he was right. He didn’t leave the next year.

Goooooonnnneee

Just dug himself a bigger hole if he does leave after his latest declaration of love to the club. He’d then be Dugga instead of Dogga. 

Regardless of his ‘I still want to live with mum’ chat yesterday, we’ve won this bout on points. 

The Kozzie-home narrative is somewhat muzzled for now and Freo less likely to stir that pot again in fear it stokes up Jacko-to-Vic chat again. 

Unless of course they extend Jackson which would just make them look utterly played and make the already-difficult task of fitting in Warner and Kossie at year-end even harder.

Jackson's new management are basically saying to Freo. You are going to have to add 50% to his contract or we're heading to Melbourne.

Great to get him back but is it the right move? Our forward line is crying out for small forwards. And assuming we lose Kozzy to facilitate this trade. Anyone coming out of contract end of this year?

no, it's going to have to be thru the draft

our two nga picks coming up are toby sinnema at the end of this year as a wing, marcus prasad in 2026 is a (very) small forward

He is not leaving Fremantle. That also makes it much, much harder for Freo to get Pickett.
