Micah

Hopefully it was overlapping with Viney taking some of the other boys away on that extra get away, Sparrow and co.

Looking past his excellent athleticism... I can't help but have concerns surrounding his height when translated to the AFL and playing in the ruck. At least when it comes using pick 3 in the draft. According to current profiles he stands at 199cm, which is actually only 3cm shorter than Nic Nats listed height. However... Luke hasnt appeared to test anywhere near as well in his verticle leaps at the combine. It's all well and good to gain an "extra" midfielder after a bounce, but will Luke have the ability to hold his own in ruck contests 1 on 1 with the 202cm+ giants that are current day ruckman? Furthermore, we constantly have people raise caution around big body players dominating the under 18 comps due to the fact they are so much stronger than the other players. For those in the know is there any element of this in this instance with Jackson? Would love to be convinced otherwise, but cant help questioning his worth at pick 3.

Exactly what I keep reminding myself. Majority of preseason we had reports of him jogging laps with an unreported/mystery injury. He may not be in the big group of surgery players who got to use that as a fitness excuse but you can't underestimate the impact of his slow preseason either. A clear run at it this off season and his value to us will sky rocket.. that said we have several players we are hoping that for too haha.

Will be playin again this year.. although had a shocker last year and got well and truly thumped in my league! Coach: Micah Team: TeamoSupremo

My guess is GC were set and eager to deal with us after Hogan stuff went through. Freo stuffing us around in turn stuffs GC around too. This "offer" is GC's way to help us pressure freo

TeamoSupremo is ready as always to talk the talk... and fail miserably!

Anyone heard anything regarding Tommy Bugg? Led to believe he's sorting through a contract offer here at the dees, not sure what to think of it

http://www.sen.com.au/news/07-15/we-still-need-to-improve-list-roos This is the short hand version of his radio appearance yesterday. The FA section is towards the bottom but is also very very vague...

WIth the 130 (?) page dangerfield threat not getting us over the line last year, obviously we just need to hit bigger page numbers on a Prestia thread!

Just to note regarding any possible compensation through the loss of Garland, Roosy was on SEN this afternoon and made note of hoping to be big players in FA this post season, not just leaving it to the big clubs as they continue to get bigger. I wonder what kind of FA names are even still possibilities that would be valued in our favour, compared to the value of potential Garland compensation should he choose to move on.
