Luke Jackson back to Victoria?

[adonski 13,229]

If they break up does Jacko request a trade back to Perth in 2027? Genuine question!

A Dogga quote from Oct. 2022…

 

It is kind of funny that he would say it even as a joke. Seems like a never say never person even if happy in that moment.

Would look really good in a Dees guernsey. This is what it could look like.

He's just the type of person who wants to be everyone's mate.

He's not welcome in my book.

He seemed to have checked out too early on the field before leaving.

Not very classy.

If he wants to change clubs again, surely you would be skeptical of recruiting him.

I feel your pain.

His performance and effort in 2022 finals was pathetic and unprofessional. 

I don't care what he does.

[John Crow Batty 8,891]

If he can’t make up his mind to where he wants to be then best forget about him. He could come back to us and decide mid season he wants to play for Collingwood the following season.

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.

I love this story, just for that purpose alone.  They're happy to try and unsettle the MFC via the Kozzie rumours, so I'm more than happy for it to go back the other way as well.

Actually wonder if our administration had something to do with planting the rumours on that basis.  Credit to them in some ways if they did, though based on the character of those at the MFC, I highly doubt that is the case.

Reports suggest that Mrs Jackson has turned the household vegan and gluten free as part of a New Year's resolution. Jacko found out when he received a mushroom steak on steak night and was livid - this is the "complex personal circumstance" they were talking about. The girlfriend stuff is just a smokescreen

[Demonland 74,288]

A primer on a massive year for WA football. What would Warner's deal be worth if he moved? The secret weapon which just might keep him. Why Jackson won't be traded. Did the Demons blink first in the Kosi deal? An unusual trade solution to help the Eagles retain Reid https://t.co/KvCgcufr9Q

I think it absolutely came from us. The timing wasn't a coincidence and apparently Fremantle had a meeting with Jackson a week or so earlier asking him about the noise.

Nah. The story is all legit, and has nothing to do with us leaking. My source in Perth has a connection with a member of the Jackson family, and has known about it for a month. I won't go into too much detail, but let's just say that LJ returned to WA for family and lifestyle reasons. That's all been turned on it's head since being in a relationship. Someone correctly posted that LJ likes to please everyone.

Well he didn’t please me when he left

I love love LOVE Freo being all worked up, and on the defensive and in full/constant dismissal mode. 

Let a thousand lazy baseless 'articles' bloom about the LJ relationship/purported relationship drivers/'old' homesickness etc etc etc ad nauseam. And then some. 

I know there's some hope and excitement about his return - and yeah he's a great player - and would no doubt probably fil a space originally intended for him, but for a guy who supposedly likes to please everyone, he checked out of this club for at least the last half of 2022, and his finals series was lame, at best. I'm not as ecstatic about his potential return.

But the media feeding on this 'story' like the vultures they are, I like very much.

We could help it along by having someone lean over the players race with a dees jumper with his name on it when we play freo.
