Hardly blackmail Jackson is probably worth 13 , ( certainly not TWO)the future pick swaps/trades usually come late when things are freed up and Freo gets motivated
-
Gee with all the wild speculation on here about devious bluffs and ploys to " hurt" WC and/ or Freo " off the trading ball" so to speak you don't think we have simply made those sorts of enquiries some weeks ago? They knew he was going well before the season was over I reckon. Ps they don't " need" to give MFC a fair deal. Freo need to get it done though And they will, they just got three 2nd and 3rd future picks. Probably throwing them into the mix to see if there's a way MFC can trade them up to more advantageous picks and get some player they have identified with better prospects than his current reputation suggests. That would be time better spent than fantasy games and more likely to be happening as well imo. It would still be a dirty deal and "unders "though... which has always been the case
-
Assuming they agree with the scribes opinion of various lists. I thought Melbourne had an unbeatable Dynasty .. I guess they had no idea...much like the fantasies that were posted on here most of last year WC will just do what gets them the players they want.
-
Do you really think they have nothing better to do?
-
Why would WC do that?
-
Yeah they are professionals , but that is why it's a bit irritating when they so quickly forget the professional responsibility that comes with the opportunities and big wages. Unless there is an exceptional reason a high draft pick on 750+K probably "professionally " owes at least 5 years to his Club.
-
Around here that degree of insight makes you a rocket scientist . It's starting to make me laugh
-
So Freo should help an opposition side out to their own detriment? I am glad you arnt running our trades.. We were always getting unders because Freo has the whip hand and Jackson doesn't care what we get for him. In 3 years time we might have a James Hird ( the player) type 55 pick
-
Sounds like Freo realising that the big baby wants to go home and doesn't care about who drafted him means they hold the whip hand so why not take ever advantage possible. Any Club would do that . The only dog in the manger here is the player. The upside for the Dee's is his immaturity and self interest may mean he will never maximise his undoubted talent no matter who he plays for
-
It doesn't really matter does it? It's just an old over rated footballer trying to keep his name public
-
Oh ffs... this has been obvious for weeks. He's going to Freo and MFC will get unders; the only question is whether they can live with the "unders" for next season and the one after or whether it's obviously a stich up. We probably won't know that until the trades play out over the next 3 seasons or so but we can be sure " dogga" won't be playing for MFC next year. Meanwhile we wait and hope there's something else more than Grundy that no one has seen coming. A mobile big body..forward or back?
-
It would be easy to feel disrespected/ insulted by not getting a game when the forward line seemed to need a new look
-
Dumb housing choices is more like it
-
Should have played him rather than insulting and frustrating him then

Having carefully checked that somehow his name has not resurfaced in these latest developments Mr Kennett has set in motion the " fix" from the top. It now seems he whole thing is their fault no matter what mistakes may or may not have been made. Nothing to see here
-
I don't dispute his " weapons";Spargo has a high footy IQ as well,that's why I have them waxing up forward. The Diesel I recall weighed 88 kgs,had a low centre of gravity so you couldn't ragdoll him and his handball is more like and actual accurate Trac kick into the forward line than Clarrie's extraordinary extractions from under a pack. I just reckon Bowey needs 10 kg's and that's a lot
-
Bowey weighs in at about 70kgs It doesn't matter what skills he's got,that's small forward territory not long term down back fantasy. Maybe he can wax with Spargo
-
"Dogga "Jackson ( don't recall his first name) magnificent half a game in the Perth Grand Final then went missing thereafter. Possibly got lost looking for love in the "cat" houses of the Nullarbor. Never heard of again.

4 other Clubs appear to have a different and presumably offered more. There is nothing in what I posted that suggest he's an A grader. But he did play more games than Weideman got in a dysfunctional forward line so I can only assume it's budget vs current contract. Did you not understand my post?
