Get Acres in the Jackson deal. If we lose Gus, send Acres to the wing and Jordon to fill Gus role down back. We don’t lose too much there. Get Meek in the Jackson deal also to back up Gawn in the ruck.

A season long injury that doesn’t involve an ACL. Rare as hens teeth in AFLW. Best of luck to the young lass.

We werent much better last year at this point. Just grinding out wins - which is absolutely vital. It’s frustrating to watch when you know we have other gears. But at the end of day, regardless of how we win at this point, supporters should be happy. Top 4 is the aim. We have some big games coming up.

Great win. We were ordinary. Wins a win.

Pickett is a game changer.

Put Petracca deep forward one out.

Brayshaw is always our best

We are bog ordinary. North and Hawks should’ve beat us early this year. This is our level. Sad because we have a great list

It’s conditional. On the condition we win the flag I could cop both leaving. If we don’t I couldn’t stomach Brayshaw leaving. Would really set us back culturally.

I stopped watching just after quarter time. Saw this coming. Melbourne like this year.

Rivers going well. Roan Steele and Laurie look classy. Steele deserves to be on a senior list somewhere.

That’s why we have the whip hand in this trade situation. Freo, you want Jackson, fine, offer more than WC, or we are sending him there. You don’t like that Luke? Have fun at North. No way North Melbourne let that opportunity pass. They cannot afford to.

We would want an early pick though. As you simply cannot replace quality talent with a couple speculative late first round picks (which Freo would have). Dealing with WC could get us a reasonable result. Drafting a quality kid could have its advantages. He could be just what our list needs. We seem a little stale this year (record aside). A real quality youngster to push our complacent young talent may be just what we need. To put an optimist spin on it. But realistically never great losing a player of Jackson’s talent.

Always opportunities. If Jackson leaves he does so with our blessing, wish him luck, and onto the next guy. We do invest, and we expect investment, but next up. No time in this business to look back. We’ll be very well compensated for Jackson, and who knows, we might land the next superstar of the league with our pick. Players do get homesick. It’s part of the game.

Does nothing to send him to Casey. We want to keep him. So we play him. If we can rest Gawn towards the back end we will be well placed come finals. If Jackson can help us do that he is contributing to another premiership run.

My fault

He can’t kick. Let him rack them up

Go back to the VFL Bedford

Great finish there. BBB looking sharp

Noble Isn’t a good coach. I think North are pretty much on the tank anyway, and happy Noble is leading the charge. If they gain a PP, sit on the bottom next year and access more quality picks, I see them moving on Noble mid 2023 and seeking out someone more suited to take a young list places. I hope we seek out their good forwards. Be a good time to.

Freo won’t let players go. Best we can do is pursue any out of contract players in a trade. Brodie would be an under valued proposition that we could gain some value out of if he were steak knives. It would be especially important if we were losing both Jackson and Brayshaw. Brodie could fill in Brayshaws role at a reduced price and allow us extra funds to chase a gun forward at big $$$

Freo won’t give up their players. They have the leverage if Jackson wants to leave. Best we could do would be to seek out Brodie or Acres (both out of contract) as part of a swap plus picks our way. And I’m not sure either even get a gig in our midfield. I hope Jackson stays. I can’t see any workable trade that helps us. We will be bent over. On the upside, if he doesn’t want to be a demon let’s get in someone who does. We don’t actually know if he wants out though. We can only deduce that he doesn’t want in by the fact he hasn’t signed yet.

Sam did good but we miss a ruck. Not just in the contest but around the ground. O’Brien was influential in the air. Weideman needs to find his own niche - what he excels in, and really hone in on it. It’s it’s tackling pressure then so be it try lay 10 plus tackles. Each tackle creates a potential spillage for our mids to mop up. Good effort by us. Up against it and came through with a win. Those games up there are always like this for us.

Good effort going up against the big man. All we ask for is Sam competes and tonight he did that. It’s not an easy role. We have no one else to do it. He performed to an acceptable level. It’s all we can ask.

That would be good
