The Jackson FIX

The club leaks seem to be drying up… all of the intel on this club-selection process now seems to be coming from the candidates and not the club + we’ve heard very little on player exit interviews (especially Clarry). My best guess is incoming CEO and president have had to step in. This is a good sign.

Jackson and 3x first rounders for Judd? I’m listening.

Mrs Jackson remains a stumbling block.

Stk spruiking they’re confident they can get Flanders too… could see GC trading him to us just to spite StK after Ross’ nepo baby comments. Id be up for that

Maybe we do have a coach and we’re already working through his plan?

The irony that someone called ‘Nightmare Continues’ didn’t like this suggestion isn’t lost on me 😆

If we could turn Petracca into a windhager + first rounder (as long that is more like a 10 than an 20) and get the cap relief I’d take it.

He was the general of probably the greatest defensive setup in the last 20 years. Also got an amazing head for the game. Downside of his departure way larger than the upside for a side about to get a new coach.

Are you suggesting the practice footies with the special stripes on them aren’t working??!

Who won the Champion Data Expected Score award?? 🤞 😅

Chris Cavanagh hasn’t put a whole heap of effort into that ‘who your club could target’ piece 😆.

I reckon May and Bevo would have some proper old-fashioned run ins

Appears well beyond capable of pulling his head in.

Finlayson axed at Port. What happened to him? He was one of their weapons like 2 years ago

Regardless of whether we’re open-minded in this process or Buckey is fait accompli, Richardson hearing from the top-rated assistants from across the league would be invaluable.

We specialise in players who are way too good for VFL and not good enough for AFL. Jump on board Riley!

People have already started arriving at Rhys Stanley’s farm for the coaxing bbq. Clarry promoted to tong master this time.

Welcome to the greatest club on the planet little (big) fella.

The irony of a premiership defender saying that about two soon-to-be premiership heroes isn’t lost on me. My favourite King-ism nowadays is when he visits one pre-season training session per team (Victoria only) and then parades around like a professional track-watcher at Flemington

SOLD.

Remember that really small window of time when some desirable players (Lever, Langdon, May) wanted to come to Melbourne? That was a nice time.

Flags are hard to win. Less than 6% of teams win one each year. I think it’s his job to use every available resource at his disposal to try and ‘pinch one’. Sadly there isn’t a risk-free strategy to win a flag, increasingly so for the smaller clubs.

He credits eating grass to his turnaround.

We should get Buckley to recruit Howe back with the promise to play forward in the twilight of his career only to play him down back at Casey

Running high half forward? First I’ve heard that is his ambition.
