The Jackson FIX

Noah LOLta looking more like Sam Frost than Alex Rance nowadays…

Come on Weid. Against the grain. Kick a bag fella.

Sparrow teases at the moment. Not unlike Petracca 4 years ago in that he can have magical moments through his strength m/power and and then disappears quicker than Jimmy Hoffa.

Appears Toby, Dogga & Kozzie spend a lot of time together (possibly housemates). 2 of that gang leaving makes me more nervous about Koz than I feel comfortable with

What time is the game? Is it free entry.

Dermie written all over this one.

You rarely make sense but I agree with this.

Kossie for 82 DT points? With 6 snags & 85% disposal efficiency. again, you are drunk DT and it is time to go home. his hoghlights reel was worth 300 DT points alone.

Yep, both ruckman need a spray. Effort not good enough

I’ve already wound up my doggies mates about this. It wasn’t difficult to get a rise out of them

Deejavu definition: reading a new page of the Luke Jackson thread on Demonland and getting the feeling you’ve read these exact same arguments before

Maybe StK might be interested in our 3x first rounders for Max King… after what I saw last night he won’t be around for their next flag.

He’s currently much closer to being a very naughty boy

I think everyone wants Laurie/JVR more out of boredom than anything else. I’d imagine stats show that most debutants have limited impact. Goodwin will have been tinkering with game plan, with sides now clearly taking short options through the corridor. He’ll rightly back this group in to have a crack at it with a tinkered plan. Settle everyone.

Would stake everything I own on Melbourne not accepting anything anywhere near that deal. This is way off the mark. Cerra going for pick 6 is a closer precedent to anchor any negotiation to but even then Melbourne would be arguing the value of a higher # draft pick who also happens to be a KPP would mean any offer needs to be north of that that. likely scenario is he will not ‘nominate’ Freo until his manager is comfortable the two clubs can do a deal. The assumption that he’ll ‘nominate Freo’ and Melbourne just need to suck it up is far more unlikely than likely (even if he wants to go there).

Richmond picked up Lynch as a FA at about this stage in their window… exactly what we need but sadly I can’t see where a top-tier, free agent key position player is coming from

I would be shocked if Collingwood has any interest in him. They need a reliable forward target. Sam is a pretty good vfl player / he isn’t on any afl teams’ shopping lists. Sad realisation because like many on here I really like the bloke but the reality is - barring a miracle - he isn’t going to cut it at the top level.

He has no currency. Maybe 3 years ago, not now. He is a depth player for any club.

His footies are a scam too…. The yellow stripe is peeling off mine

I raised this scenario on page 3,267 of the Jackson contract thread. Makes a lot of sense given our investment in the 2-ruck strategy. Obviously only at the right price. Gawn would have to spend more time forward though.

Because of his frame?

Vaguely remember hearing he was on a tour in South America or somewhere like that and he came to the realisation he didn’t want to be doing it anymore...

We hold the most important card. The right to send him to the draft/PSD if he doesn’t want to stay.

Only playing with one arm feels an appropriate handicap for Clarry in this era of equalisation. Apparently only needs one arm to handball anyway

Theory is it is would be a mutual decision. Pies look great without him and he is occupying a fair bit of their salary cap. Upside for him is arguably limited although the chance to team up with an ageing Gawn in a side deep in a premiership window is attractive. Dees could probably get away with paying him less than we would Jacko (with Collingwood’s help) and we’d still end up with draft capital from the Jackson transaction.
