The Jackson FIX

So many questions. First one: why is Casey playing Collingwood at the Whitten Oval?

Maybe shift the target 2m to the right of the right goal post? Problem solved.

Hypothetical: Carlton make Curnow available for trade - would we trade the bounty we get for Kossie for him? I’m a yes. Bit of chatter out there at the moment re. Charlie.

Think I’ve shared this on here before but an ex-player who was a well-known goal kicking coach told me (about 7 years ago) that Gawn privately asked him for goal kicking tuition, because it was an issue Max was having that the club wasn’t meaningfully help him solve. I think the advice focused on his shoulders - left shoulder dipping and shoulders not square to the goals at the drop. From memory his accuracy was improved around this period (but without access to the stats).

If we can stop the ball coming into our backline as quickly as Gout Gout with an illegal tailwind then Jake will be fine.

AJ is no good. Sharp can have a spell too. Also, chocko out.

Can we please stop selling games to Alice Springs?

He was noticeably off the Dees and chips in on Hawthorn when ‘we’ were 0-5.

I listened to a fair bit of SEN yesterday and other footy media and thought Melbourne were well covered and applauded. Andy and Gazey’s drive slot is hardly the place to go for meaningful match reviews.

Windsor to the backline experiment over yet?

We’ve reached stage 4 of our long term project: The Jackson Fix.

The barking from MacLure and Corn-bread every time there is a Kozzie rumour about leaving is deafening. Haven’t heard either say boo about the possibility of the Dees nabbing a high-profile player back.

I’m not even certain Gold Coast could take him if they wanted / they have two players in their academy who will go top 10 well ahead of Kalani so I’m not sure how they could afford them all…

My Jacko-coloured glasses off for a moment; Would love to see some stats on Jackson’s tenure at Freo - with and without Darcy. I feel people still talk about him in terms of ‘potential’ or they focus on small periods of a game when he looks great. For the money he wants I worry he doesn’t impact games for long enough and may never.

Lol I would trade Clarry for Jacko too - I tell you who won’t though: Fremantle!

They couldn’t squeeze Harvey in for one vote? Personally thought he was more impactful than Viney.

Let me save you the future pain: we’re not getting anything decent. Salary relief will be all that is in it for us. And based on current form that salary relief won’t be as good as it was looking 6 months ago, unless Clarry takes a massive haircut.

Assuming this is a joke? It is the same time/same day every week. Which is a Thursday. At 6.30pm

Tom Morris - says he is ‘not feeling well’

A sensible tactical decision like that isn’t really in Goodwin’s wheelhouse.

Not even sure what they look like anymore

We’re not going to win them but I want to see some deep, bloody teeth marks on every opposition team across that stretch

Strange comment.

I thought the evolved theory on Jackson was that his mgmt were just leveraging the ‘move back to Melbourne’ story to get more coin at Freo?

Vlad has a LOT of crosses next to his name post his AFL gig. Firm no.
