The Jackson FIX

WHACK!

You know trade week is boring when ‘the Mathew Jefferson thread’ is at the top of the list when you log on for an end of day summary

You’d be fun at parties.

Exactly. They’re just waiting to see what Freo can come up with before they make their play.

DON’T GO IN TRAC

Said ‘Brodie Grundy WILL play for Melbourne next year’… Surprised so definitive about this before the Jackson trade gets done …

Nobody is giving up pick 5 & 7 for pick 2.

This appears to be where it is heading (well, at least if Port’s pick 8 is in play).

Why would Jackson sign for another one or two? He’ll go into ND or PSD if we don’t get a trade done.

What a pea-heart this bloke is. Things not looking rosey so he wants to bail. Hasn’t even been there 12 months.

Not sure of the points value of a climb up from 3rd round into early second round but it is hard to believe Bedford would be worth anywhere near that much.

It’d be like paying the annoying mate you owe $100 in 5c pieces.

Hmmm… this is a fair point. I wonder if Melbourne’s contract with him protects against mid-yr departures

worth keeping a close eye on whether there is a deviation in Essendung’s drafting strategy with Scott now on board… You would imagine he has some intel on likely direction of rule changes that hasn’t yet been canvassed with the clubs

Bowes infinitely more likely to get a game at StK /ESS than Geelong. Cats clearly more interested in his pick 7 than his personality

What time is Capper on today? I think he is going to give his opinion on what the Jackson/Freo deal might look like.

Strange-ish decision. Could be chaos there for a little while

Me too, doubt will make it to 8

Sheezel or Humphrey at pick 8 pls 🙋🏻‍♂️

Pretty sure he’s been desperate to get home since he got drafted. His upside (ok depth) doesn’t cover his downside for mine

It’s been so long since Geel has been at the pointy end of the draft that they probably wouldn’t know what to do with pick 7… probably arrive late and miss the call

Could also be an Instagram machine… I can’t tell without my glasses though

I have it on good authority that DeGoey will sign - he is just delaying the inevitable signing for a few days with some legal posturing so he can misbehave at Q Bar one more time on Thursday night before he has to toe the line

This is basically saying Lobb & Naughton are of equal trade value? Would’ve thought that is quite the distance from reality…
