Can’t possibly have him at number 3 on the ruck list when he is a part timer ruck. It’s obviously going to skew his stats. So if I play half a game on a wing and pick up 15 touches and then pinch hit it’s ok to say I get more touches than any ruckman? It’s not the same thing. Riley O’Brien stats probably not far off Jackson and he isn’t hitting it to Oliver, Petracca and Viney against a second string ruck.
I’d say being in the centre square would get you more touches than playing the role Jackson plays. If he played as number one ruck he’d have better stats, more possessions, more clearances ect… the stats are currently skewed against him. You can judge a players ability and put them number 3, you can see the impact they have when they go into the ruck and say if he was a number one ruckman he’s top 3, you could say he’s better than Riley Obrien as an overall ruckman it’s just that he doesn’t get the amount of rucking opportunities as OBrien does.
Your selling him too cheaply. Melbourne should be asking for Caleb Serong and two top ten picks.
He's uncontracted dude!
Makes no difference dude.
I think the justifications for Hill's high trade price were the b&f he won, his 3rd place b&f in the year he requested a trade, and, you know, the two years left on his contract.
He was a triple premiership player, that said he wanted to get back home and play with his older brother. Fremantle handed over pick 23, a pick they got via AFL charity.
But won't you saying that Meek's trade value won't be affected this time next year, when he will be coming off contract.
Hawthorn CHOSE to accept that. No one made them. He'd already helped them win three flags so clearly they were happy to let him go home.
Absolutely he is.
I see you have a different outlook depending whether Freo are bringing a player in or if they have expressed a desire to leave.
2nd half of the year form definitely dropped, probably because he didn’t want to ruin the massive contract offer he had.
He has had a brief drop off in form but nothing dramatic for a third year player. He still projects really well a ruck/forward prospect.
You should be asking your recruiting department why they’ve offered him a godfather deal
