"Jackson and Serong were among the top players in the voting, with Jackson fourth (included in 83 per cent of teams)"
Almost a fifth of teams though Thilthorpe or Sampson Ryan were a better ruck than Jackson

If you were seriously picking a team to play I think Jackson is arguable AA as the ruck forward. I believe he has more coaches votes than any ruck or ruck forward and more goals than any ruck or ruck forward. There are other realistic options such as Rowan Marshall as ruck and Tim English as ruck forward, or Tim English as ruck and Joe Daniher as ruck forward, but if Jackson is not in the conversation then it is unrealistic imho.

Rough on Jordan Clark. Probably lost a big portion of his vote to Jordan Clarke.

To be fair the game was 'with' Sam Mitchell as he was the opposing coach.

Oi how good did the white shorts look with the purple top tho. It’s growing on me as an away kit instead of having to go the all white (still shouldn’t have worn the purple against Collingwood tho)

Yeah, I absolutely love it. I don't know what it is, I just dig it.

2016 tbh, he did the same thing

Shades of Lachie Neale 2016 tbh, he did the same thing

I see them putting him in the team though. Top 2 team and outside of Charlie Cameron, who else will be in the AA team?

I'm talking Serong


Neale comparison was he did what Serong has done for us in 2016 and missed

Haha shit. My bad man, I misread the post.

I had no idea Serong actually had the most disposals this year, wow. I can see him making the bench.

Brayshaw also has the second most surprisingly

is in the 40 man squad

 

[freo_leo29]

I won't be surprised if Luke Jackson is in the 40 man squad

I would be


If he had this year at Melbourne he would be, at Freo it takes a bit more than that

The selection meeting is heavy into picking the best second ruck for impact around the ground.

I'd be surprised if he's NOT in the squad. He deserves to be there and has half a shout for a bench spot

Hasn't had any of the media hype, we finished 14th and he gets the Freo tax, I'd be shocked tbh

English and Marshall will be the 2 in the 44 (it's 44 now)

Like I said a few weeks ago, they are going to see which ruck/KPP/unicorns had the most coaches votes to make sure they havent completely ****ed something, see Jackson is on 60, more than any other KPP and they are going to include him.

I'd have to check but only 2 rucks in the 44 seems very low

Most coaches votes out of any ruckman or key position player in general right?

Has to be in the squad and if he played for a big Vic team he probably would have a strong chance to be in the actual AA team.

Instead he won't make the AA due to the general shitness and irrelevancy of the team he actually plays for.

would probably be overtaken in the last two rounds though tbf. I dont anticipate him getting any votes for the last two rounds

Agreed, he SHOULD be on the bench as a "utility". He needed a bigger last two games for me to make it impossible to ignore but it's legitimate bullshit if he's not in the squad

I can still see him getting one or two votes to get it up to 60.

Nice calls

He had no hype so thought for sure he wouldn't make it, will be no chance for the 22 you'd think tho
