Yep.. similar view I have.

Unfortunately I think he's pretty much a done deal to Geelong by the sounds of it.

That's better. I genuinely couldn't understand that first part. Yeah I personally don't think it'll be a distraction within the playing group, but who knows really.

Ok bro

Steven Armstrong.

It's like any player that has had a singular positive impact on grand final is completely untouchable for the rest of their career.. fmd. I'm still gobsmacked Steven Armstrong hasn't been inducted into the Hall of Fame for his 2 minute heroic in the 2006 Grand Final.

What?

Matthew Lloyd on 3AW stated that Jackson is pretty much gone. People can still say all they want that these comments from media people have no idea what's going on, but there's now enough jungle drums beating and it seems fairly certain he's gone. You do wonder how this effects the morale in the team. Could it be a distraction or are they able to just brush it off mentally.

Eek... Would have been happy with the Weideman/Brown combo but Weideman as the sole key forward doesn't fill me with much confidence at all unfortunately.

Well then they shouldn't haven't offered him a 2 year deal last year because they're stuck with him for another year.

In fairness to Weid, he hasn't been give the opportunity to at least work in tandem with Brown. Goody speaks about building cohesion within the team but yet refuses to at least give the Weid/Brown combo a decent crack. They've played 4 games together this year alone and only 1 last year. How are they're suppose to build chemistry if you're just going to chop and change your 2nd key tall from AFL to VFL every 2nd week. I've been one of Weids biggest critic this year with some of his performances, but right now our forward line is still a shambles playing the one tall. The opportunity has been there since McDonald went down. The 1 tall forward line alongside Gawn/Jackson as support is just completely out of wack because both Gawn and Jackson simply don't have the forward instinct and craft in them. It got exposed against Geelong and just survived against Port thanks to a 170cm star small forward.

Some are easily so pleased..

Reading training reports on demonland be like..

Oh yeah it could be?

Tex? Ben King who signed he's contract extension earlier on the year perhaps.

Here we go.

Neither.

He's a bit of both. He's similar to Bontempelli in terms of playing style. I agree that a gun KPF would be ideal, but unfortunately there isn't any quality out there that's available. If it was me, I'd be bold and offer a truck load to Max King from the Saints. He's playing like a guy that's clearly frustrated and the Saints are about to go balls deep with their list. Their age demographic and list management is poor, and I can see a significant decline over the next few years.

Looks like they're doing the captains run? A running commentary on the session would be appreciated thanks Kevy... 😁

On top of trying to deal a separate and more complex deal in Jackson, I just think the club will mutually accept the compensation pick and move on quickly to get this Jackson deal. History will tell you that clubs rarely match bids on free agents that leave.

Glad you brought this up. With the exodus about to occur at the Giants they would be pretty nervous with this one especially as he hasn't signed the contract extension that's already been offered to him.

If what the offer is believed to be offered to Jackson then I have no idea how they fit Brayshaw in. It's obvious that Brayshaw after a pay rise. I personally don't think we'll match the offer BTW. We're not known to play hard ball with deals and I think we prefer just to get deals done and move onto the next.

Even Purple is getting in on the act..

He'd be an upgrade on Sparrow.
