I’m not mates with Ryan Daniels and I could’ve told you that. He’s spoken about it on his podcast.

apparently there are at least a couple vic clubs that are interested in Darcy, Carlton and Essendon being main ones. His contract is only in the 700s so I think they’ll be able to trade him and his contract out pretty easily

You're probably right, but the talk about his family issues is 100% correct

Stolen about 300k from him apparently. But Freo has every right to say too bad here’s a financial advisor stop giving your parents the password to your bank account

Also offering JVR is like when Freo supporters were offering up Switkowski for Kozzy.

They’ve got Amiss, Treacy, and now Voss all 22 and under playing KPF

Tha5a what I would do too, and i think it's probably the most likely outcome.

But a lot depends on whether Jackson really wants out.

If he Jackson is afamant he want out, they of course can play hard ball and keep him to his contract, but that would be a risk because nor every player is a Lachie neale which put there head down and continues to play elite footy

no, i thought the reports were that darcy's previous contract was around $700k and his current contract was around $1m a year

i mean...who knows ultimately

yes, that has been the rumour that has been going around

pretty full on

Well not really because the better he plays the more he will be worth at the trade table.

Of course one has to ask themselves, how can a club with net zero forwards, trade away their only consistent goal kicker?

*Kosi excluded as he will play more midfield as time goes on

He'll be worth more, but I'd be less inclined to trade him as one of our three consistent goalkickers, alongside a 438 year old Melksham and Kozzy.

That could be the case, but only if LJ agrees to stay.

Until we actually know his real intentions, it is all speculation.

I am pretty confident TL and JT know his intentions.

Why so keen on Jackson? He's good, but I'd prefer McVee, and I believe JVR is going to be epically good at some point.

Who cares about Jackson. Don't throw out the team mix we have now. Jackson left us. We shouldn't beg steal and borrow to get him.

What if its true that he wants to come back for his missus and back to Victoria to the MFC?

You would have to have rocks in your melon to not entertain this.

The playing leaders of the club i.e Gawny, JV7, Tmac, Rick and Goody would know 💯 if this is a real outcome.

As Goody mentioned in his parting words when Jacko was traded "the door is always open to the MFC for Jacko".

They keep in touch, the leaders know where this all stands.

If its real i hope we act on it and bring him back.

Lmao, Ryan Daniels ain’t a Fremantle employee. He would know jack.

Dan Houston and Barrass literally said categorically 110% they would not be leaving their clubs and were traded 3 months later. 🤣🤡

Just passing on what I'm told and he absolutely has good contacts in Perth.

Obviously it may change, but I think as it stands Freo won't agree to trade him and would rather move on Darcy if there's a taker. Most likely Geelong given their constant ruck issues.

Yep Riv would be in the mix.

I think Riv + F1 is a fair trade to be honest. a walk up HB /. midfielder and a first round pick which to be honest could be anywhere from Top 5 to late first round

Announcement of Kozzys signing liked by Dogga’s missus on Instagram. Looks like a fait accompli to me.

We know you want too Jacko...

One of thr best and well connected journo's going around. Strike rate is pretty high.

He knows how [censored].

It’ll be a real test for player power because there is no way freo do this willingly.

YEs and No. If there are genuine circumstances for Dogga to be in Victoria, partner etc. Keeping him to his contract can actually be detrimental. They can absolutely hold him to contract now, he then is forced to be separate from his GF, which can cause some issues for him that translate to performance on field. This can then drop his trade value significantly (not comparable but you just have to look at Olivers value now vs 2 years ago).

Now i know jack all about his situation, but if his partner was intent on moving to Vic and they are faced with the proposition of leaving apart, then going by Dogga history, will be impacted. How much? who knows. I'd do the deal now where he can command 2 first round picks.

He just kicked a goal. Can he come back & we put him forward at times because he's a ruckman that can kick goals & has a good technique

we need this bloke back i dont care who we give up in riv judd and jvr

LJ is a gun

Will be the best ruck in the league in 2 years

It would seem that ever since he made the secret agreement to come back to Melbourne, it has really lifted his mood and form.

Has he taken over the mantle from Pig Hibberd?

I don't care if it's 100% not possible, the job is to keep this thread ticking over and you're all doing a sterling job.

We all know media lurks here so we'll give them something to read.

I'm not mates with Ryan Daniels either.

Just one question. Who is Ryan Daniels?

Perth sports journo. Probably their biggest there now given Basil is off doing other things.
