Peeps, while I helped take the thread off track with Tabs talk I suppose, I think a full on metal convo is probably a step too far and entirely irrelevant. Music chat has been moved to the Purple Horde subreddit

Right, back to Jackson. Maybe Bell can have a rare case of amnesia and forget he even inquired...? Lol
I’m positive on Jackson coming in.
I did a post on here the other day on the players taken from picks 14-20 over the last 9 years as they would be the picks we are likely to be giving up for LJ.
Over 90% of the players in that pick range were well behind LJ in terms of their output or their ceiling.
Several of the players were total busts in that draft range.
Jackson will play 200 games for us of pretty high quality.
I find it rather unsettling that LJ has just nominated returning to WA as his preference. It would be reassuring to hear him commit to one team or the other.
All seems a bit wishy washy to me and in reality plays us into Melbourne's hands. The only good thing about it is that we have an out if required.

I am very firmly in the "yay" group, this kid could be anything and with him and Darcy, we will have the best ruck combo maybe even the best young midfield in the league.
I find it refreshing that he’s got the integrity to NOT nominate a club. By playing this hand, he’s also not giving the media anything to grab onto and twist .
It’s better for both clubs involved IMO

Ive been on the fence for a while but have come to the conclusion its a Yay from me. Normal caveat depending on how much we give away in picks and cash but assuming Bell and co have done their sums Im positive this is a net plus.
Key for me is that we DONT see him as a Lobb replacement.
If its true that they are planning on playing him as a hybrid big bodied mid/wing/ ruckrover type that can give Hodor a chop out and create a nuisance up forward at times, then I love the idea.
Its when we start speaking of him as a bonafide forward that I start to have coniptions.
Im fine with Tabs and Amiss as our two main talls. We will also have Fyfe, Sturt, Banfield, Treacy and possibly Lobb as a third tall. Then our mosquito fleet, Walters Freddy, Switta, Schultz and Colyer.
The undoubted find of a quality natural forward in Amiss this year means we are just one more quality forward piece away from completing the puzzle. As long as we dont recruit Jackson as the solution for that forward puzzle Im ok with getting him in.

Done between Jackson and Freo, or Melbourne and Freo?
My concern over Jackson was the draft cost. To a lesser extent his form of late, whether we were paying too much in terms of picks\contract.
But now with the players wanting out we could still have reasonable draft picks and not a Eagles\Kelly scenario.

The draft cost I can handle. If Luke Jackson was in this year's draft, would you pick him up with pick 13? Yes, you would. In a firkin heartbeat. So would you also swap next year's first round pick for one a fair bit later down the draft order (which is how the deal will/should effectively pan out)? Also, yes, because you can still find gold with pick whateverthe**** in what is essentially a slightly scientific crapshoot.
So, for me, it all comes down to what will be the potential effect of having a marquee player, who is unproven as such, on discombobulating coin.
I remember, back in the day, Luke Toia used to refer to the youthful Matt Pavlich as Moneybags because Pav was put on an amazing contract pretty much as soon as he passed out on his first day of training. Because he was plainly a superstar we had to keep and had to reward.
Is Jackson all that?
Fyfe's remuneration is/was deserved but did it mean people were out to paint him as a selfish virgin dog the other players hate and so full of himself he is effectively inside out? Of course it did because people are people, but did it destabilise us? Did it throw things out of whack?
People are saying we are shedding Logue and Acres to pay for Jackson.
I don't think we are. I think the Jackson paypacket pain will come later when we have to pay Caleb Soapy Serong and Slayshaw a butt-ton to stave off the raiders, and we're giving it all to Jacko.
And will Dogga have brought us sweet sweet success to ameliorate whatever pain that brings?
I do not know. But I do know he can do this:

I’ve enjoyed the banter re Jackson …. Ie is he worth trading or what if we paid too much. Is he a required positional player we need?
When a player of Jackson’s Talent wants to return home to your club.. you just make it happen. Geeesus he’s only 21. Played 50 odd games, and shown he can turn big games.

Yep. A de-risked pick 3 with 52 games under his belt at an age before most KPPs even get a gig.
Tick! **** it. I have voted in this all-important poll. I have cast my lot.
Get it done, Belly.
