DistrACTION Jackson

Oh I’m sure they know more than we would…. FYI Peter Lawrence told me this

Well I don’t believe they have actually given them the funds right now, but they’ve committed it

Hope they give us a timeline on Windsor soon!

Think he’s pretty good mates with Clarry…. So maybe he should get in his ear.

Only issue is Melksham seems to be having constant injury issues this year... age may be catching up

If he is on the LTI I don't think he can play for Casey.... could be wrong though.

How does he look? Is he in main training now?

I believe they have started fundraising from the foundation heroes group. Always have a $10m commitment from a group of them from what I heard.

It’s fairly bare without Kozzy. I’m guessing Sharp will play some minutes in the forward line. They may have to get creative though unless we pick up a small forward in the SSP… Jack Henderson’s name has been thrown up and he fits the bill.

So a ruptured Achilles tendon was an injury he had in the past was it?

This discussion has been done to death though SWYL. I think the majority of us agree that it was a strange one for the club to give up that pick, but the discussion recently was around people supporting him and hoping for the best, only for him to get another devastating injury. This wasn’t an injury related to his history either and is one that just pops up randomly.

Totally agree with you. Not sure why, but we seem to have ignored our issue with quality small forwards for a few years now. We’ve obviously had issues with key forwards as well, but the last two premiers had 3-4 quality smalls playing. Bobby Hill, Ginnivan, McCreery and Elliott in 2023 and Cameron, Bailey, Lohman and Ah Chee in 2024.

Do you think he could crack best 22? And if so, what type of role?

First season playing forward and really only moved into the role after pre season from memory.

That’s exactly the reason to hold him to the contract now. Freo will have to give decent contracts to Serong, Brayshaw, Treacy and Amiss you would think. They may struggle with salary requests in three years time.

Very true. Three years time he will be 26 and may have a very different outlook.

Happy to get a ban if they want. Mcadam did an Achilles! Could happen to anyone, just ask Marshall from Port. He’s been training hard and trying to get fit for round 1. His season is now over because of a mishap, which has nothing to do with his efforts of being an afl player. Maybe he is a bust when it comes to trading pick 28, but there’s a countless number of busts from pick 1 onwards. how about support your team.

Time to offer Roy George a spot…

What?

Yeah they probably will. Doesn’t mean we should change our stance though

Well given the club has said we aren’t trading him, not much else can be said. Media can say all they want

If it’s season ending we can before Feb 21

I’d pull the trigger on Roy George personally if it’s a season ender

Chill out mate. Everyone is supporting HUMANS hoping they do well. Sometimes it doesn’t work out. Would love to be at your work giving you a hard time every time something went wrong for you. To$$er is a good word to describe you. He has been working and training really hard and getting super fit, so how about supporting guys that are giving 100%

He was actually helped off….
