List Mgmt. Luke Jackson - Yay or Nay?

[Snuffaluphagus]

Where has the confidence of us landing Jackson come from? Im not so sure this is a done deal.

Unless there's just someone playing funny buggers going on...

It's always been us the most likely whether that's from Hagdorn and Sumich apprentices like myself or from more official sources in the media. The only difference as it stands is that Melbourne are playing silly buggers trying to say WC are still in it, they arent. Whether that's a good thing or not is the point of this thread I suppose but he's requested a trade to Freo, regardless of Melbournes press release

So when will he or his management come out to say that then?

Not sure, when they pick which media mouthpiece they like the most?

 

[Ge3ks]

So when will he or his management come out to say that then?

When Jackson is sighted at the airport wearing a Freo scarfe and beanie.

So if we do land Jackson, giving up two first round draft picks and signing him up to a $900k p.a. deal for 7 years, it seems that Melbourne are going to use ONE of those first round draft picks to trade for Grundy, with Collingwood still paying a part of Grundy's salary (he is on $1m per year for 7 years).

How ironic!

Melbourne make out like bandits, get an immediate (better?) replacement, on cheaper $$, plus keep another first rounder to boot.

Meanwhile Fremantle give to Jackson, pretty much exactly the contract that Collingwood gave to Grundy, which has hobbled their salary cap for several years resulting in Treloar leaving etc. The difference is it only cost Collingwood one first rounder for Grundy.

On top of this prioritising Jackson means we have less to offer Acres, Lobb and means we have no room for Meek.

Yeah, nah. I'm not seeing it. Wonder how Darcy feels about Jackson's contract.

I think Jackson coming is partially due to Acres and Lobb leaving thus freeing up their salary. We won't be pushing hard to convince either of them to stay.

When Jackson is doing a tour of the Eagles HQ and facilities then I'd be worried about them getting him, but even then he could just be invited to get their last pitch to him and what is he going to say, "no thanks"?

100% we want Lobb to stay. We're very dissapointed he's leaving

 

[SHill Shall]

You interfered and said you were interested in Kelly even though you knew he was Eagles bound raising his price. We don't forget. It was dirty play by Bell at the time.

That destroyed your club - and we're going to do double down by making you pay OTT for Jackson too!

Grundy is not the Grundy of old. Also, Jackson is a lot younger if he signs a long term contract.
Darcy is just fine about it.
Lobb wouldnt stay unless we offered him Jackson's contract (no way).
Acres is exploiting a good year and choosing to leave. It is good list management not giving in to his demands.
Meek is excellent trade value to a team that needs a starting ruck (GWS, Port, Geelong) - He is under contract.

 

[SHill Shall]

Jackson didn't have the cahunas to nominate us, so he can get stuffed. This flips over now to ensuring the Weagles overpay.

 

[FDH16]

Think WC represent a clear and present danger, they'll be a stalking horse all the way up until Jackson signs, then seek to dislodge Meek.

Bell commented on the first year Kelly attempted to come back to Perth, we had a pick around ten and said it would be in the discussion if Tim wanted Freo.

He said it with a grin on his face. We were never in the picture.

Neither were the Eagles that year. Kelly wasn't being released.

Are you sure about that? Kind of sounds like Peter Bell was making it clear they were interested in Tim Kelly even after he nominated the Eagles in this interview on the 1st of October 2019. I'm not saying we are trying to repay the favour but you definately did muddy the waters of our trade with Geelong which may be why we sucumbed to Geelongs hefty asking price on day one of trade week.

To be honest, i would prefer we passed on him.

 

[HardCaucasian]

I just don't see West Coast wanting him, they need to use early draft picks to fill holes all over their list. If they want to use two first rounders for a ruck/fwd, it will set them back years on their rebuild.

If West Coast offer two first rounders to Melbourne, If I were freo I'd say have him!

F*ck you WC supporters live in the past. No one gives a shit.

iirc we backed off but said we would revisit if things fell through with WC and Geelong.

We'd be crazy to chase him. Our midfield is ageing with little to no young talent coming through. No point having a good ruck if there's no one of worth to win the ball and do something with it.

West Coast's biggest issue is the complete lack of quality in their ruck stocks.

Have you seen Jameson and Williams - utter shyte!

Your point above about Meeks would definitely make more sense for us.

I am never wrong.

And I'm also absolutely correct regarding Williams and Jameson - they are deplorable.

 

[Steinfreo]

Why didn't he nominate us

 

[Bigger]

Doing the righty by Melbourne.

Which is cool but if it means West Coast get to dick us around and jack the price up, I hope we walk before it enters TK territory.

 

[Taylor]

We have only heard one side of the break up and they are spinning it in the way that gives them the best future prospects.
