Don't we still understand it's about the game...not the players as such.

We have many a good player... but a rubbish game.

Jackson isn't the difference nor the remedy to a problem.

That lays elsewhere

It will cost us a lot and I don't think he's that good.

He is a premiership second ruck who was very much involved with BANG BANG BANG

Sure. Straight swap for Philthorpe. Why wait for seasons’ end. This week will be do.

straight swap, player for player

first time since mitch clark - heritier lumumba - travis varcoe?

That’s a loss for us. Kozzy’s worth more than a straight swap with Jacko

Pickett can’t be let go for peanuts. Jackson isn’t peanuts but he’s not as valuable as Pickett

I can’t help but feel we will lose Kozzy, not get Jackson and probably end up paying both their salaries

That's just not true. Jackson, as ruck/kpp, contracted for two years longer on top of that (maybe even more with an automatic trigger) is easily worth more than Kozzy. We would have to send away Kozzy AND extra on top of that if we wanted Jackson back. Dockers have no other ruck with Darcy always injured. There's zero chance they do a straight swap.

I'd honestly rather keep Kozzy and try again for Jackson in a few years if he's still keen.

Fascinating story brewing.

I was never a huge fan of Jackson because his impacts were so fleeting, not often he influenced games for longer than a wild cameo.

Over the journey, I have felt Kozzie has been similar. Just wished he would get more involved for longer - despite only needing 3-4 touches to be a match winner.

The Fremantle game was something else, Kozzie made everyone on the ground look like they were in slow motion. I changed my view during that game and think Kozzie has every right to be considered in the top 5-10 players in the comp at his best.

I’d take Jackson back and possibly in a straight swap because he’s a known quantity and should have even greater impact with our changing game style.

Heart says Kozzie is worth significantly more but it’s potentially a decent outcome on the back of losing a generational talent like Koz - if it eventuates, of course

We lost Jackson and got pick 13 off Fremantle for him, that ended up being Matt Jefferson, the draft is a gamble, I’d much rather a known quantity in Jackson than the lottery of the draft if we lose Pickett. Jackson will be All Australian calibre once given the number one ruck role, hasn’t been given the chance to show what he’s got at Fremantle.

We got Windsor for the dog trade

Ok they can have Kossie if they give us Jackson and Murphy Reid as steak knife’s.

The Club loves Kozzie and Kozzie loves the Club, but recently there has been a growing recognition from many in the Club that Kozzie needs to be in WA.

Damn. What a pity.

I think he's very close to our most important player. With May, Oliver and Petracca not the players they were only a few years ago, he's just about our best player (behind Max) as well.

Never heard of that Footy Show but it looks like they deliberately collected the most annoying attention grabbing fools (apologies to Nick)

Who would watch that dribble?

The problem is, this is so sporadic and usually occurs every 6 weeks. He needs consistency in his game and until that occurs, it’s all speculative IMO.

Agree completely

We need more capable foot soldiers so that we can afford to carry Koz

Come home wacko jacko

if this is true which i hope it is, that surely means fullerton and campbell are done and gone? still alot to play out tho

also does this solve our 2nd tall forward problem until max pulls the pin?

I love the West Australian now

If this is not another red flag in the long list of red flags for players who want to run home to Freo, I don’t know what is.

Kosi should take note.

So long Kozz

Fantastic news!!

We desperately need a 2nd ruck/fwd

He is one if the very few that compliments Gawn and then he can take over in a few years
