I'm going to say it. I'd rather Lloyd Meek then Jackson as a actual player. No offense to Jackson intended. Meek is just a very very good player. Best player not playing regular 22 in the league this year by some margin. A reason 6 clubs want him. I fully expect GWS to get Meek, Freo to get Jackson and Meek to have the better season in all stat categories.
 
Best thing Melbourne could hope for is a player from Fremantle becomes involved like it did with Burton/Wingaard trade.

Demanding top 10 draft picks from a team that doesn't have them to offer is a waste of time.
Brodie Grundy you mean? It will be first rounder and Grundy horrific contract for Jackson

I firmly believe Meek is a better ruck than Jackson. Jackson has more potential to play other parts of the ground better but if you're looking for a full time pure ruck Meek is the way to go. Also a lot cheaper.

We aren’t interested in Meek.
 
I think he means net?

Something like
Grundy and 1st to Melbourne
1st to Collingwood
Jackson and a 2nd to Freo

Yeah but my point is on how Freo can improve their offer beyond their two 1st round picks. Demanding/asking for top 10 picks is a waste of time when they don't have those picks to give.

Whether they do or don't trade for Grundy. Freo's offer is still the same.

Just because they don't currently have a top 10 draft pick, doesn't mean they won't be able to get one (if their motivation is there)

Without trading a good player, it is pretty difficult to get into the top 10, especially when Melbourne will want a second 1st round pick as well.

Maybe the Bulldogs lose their minds and offer their first pick for Lobb and they can then pair that up with something.
 
I heard Freo told LJ to nominate WA so West Coast and the PSD come into play, forcing Melbourne take lower than what they expect to get!

West Coast hadn't even spoken with him at that stage!

Wowwee...
Elite list management from Belly, but oh no. You've spilled the beans. Now Melbourne will know (presuming the list manager reads BigFooty) that Jackson doesn't actually want to go to WCE, and the PSD threat isn't real :(
 
Players aren't coming to Freo just for the money anymore, Bell has made that abundantly clear!

It'll hurt so good when LJ gets to Freo for less than what Melbourne offered!
Wait, hang on, the Freo head of footy just declared that he thinks players want to come to Fremantle for more than cash?

****, strong culture.
 
It will be one of the following (or at least in that ballpark):

  • pick 13, Fremantle F1 for Jackson and pick 32
  • pick 13, pick 29 (from the Lobb trade to WB) and Fremantle F2 for Jackson and pick 41

It won’t be two first round picks with nothing coming back the other way. It simply won’t - there is not even an example of a previous comparable trade to this apart from Chris Judd. Jeremy cameron wasn’t even traded for that much.
As good and all as LJ is, he’s not worth as much as some dees fans think on here.
****in hell - even peak paddy Dangerfield wasn’t traded for that much!

Radio saying the Dockers are trying to get pick 8 out of port for the Jackson trade

8 + 13 for Jackson with something going the Dockers way
Could see this getting it done for sure. 8+13 for Jackson+F2.


Not even going to bother engaging with the peanut above.

Well if he doesn't, maybe you could call the club and tell them what you've read on bigfooty. I'm sure they would be grateful to hear from you again this week 😏

I found it odd he didn't pick a team

We're not going to part with pick 2 and we don't have much else to dangle in front of the Demons

PSD 🙏
