List Mgmt. Luke Jackson - Yay or Nay?

[King Huskii]

I don't want him anymore

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

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.

Where is 900k / year coming from?

Please don't say SEN or 6PR

I would much prefer to keep jackson than have Grundy and a late first rounder. Kid is a weapon. However, he's only a weapon as a solo ruckman... not a KPF at all. So who knows what's gonna happen from here on in

I reckon most people here would spew if we traded #3 for two teen picks.

Don't want him.

it will be 1.1 by the end of the week

People are assuming because the club said that he has requested a trade home to WA that it means Jackson hasn't nominated a team.

Just like Gold Coast talking about Rankine wanting to be traded home to SA when he has nominated Adelaide.

 

[Ge3ks]

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

Ummm, too late. I know you rarely see him, but Tim Kelly has been playing in your midfield for a while now.

Oh wait... you meant Luke. My bad.

 

[theGav56]

Well West Coast will be able to offer more money certainly. But 5 year rebuild during your peak doesn't sound much fun to me.

Plus little young talent on the books and you have just traded out your best draft picks.

Darcy could legitimately expect a matching contract.

Not sure why people are talking 2 first rounders for an uncontracted player. Same situation with Jackson as with Clark last year. We set the price that we think is fair, then negotiate around that. If Melbourne don’t like it, they walk away and try to convince him to stay.

No doubt he’s an extremely talented player, but he doesn’t fill the immediate void we have and I don’t see why the price would be as high as two first rounders.

I just hope Belly doesn’t think 2 first round picks is the fair price.

not the way he played the back half of this year

 

[theGav56]

Around his original draft pick isn't unrealistic. Similar to how it worked with Cerra.

It's the vibe. He's leveraging the clubs against each other....let Nic Nat pick him up from the airport FFS.

Not interested.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Why didn't he nominate us

Yeah, he can go to west coast.

Just have a bad feeling we could get shafted like we did with Jesse Hogan

Not nominating us is good in a way. We can back out more easily if the price gets too high.

. Melbourne expected to target two first-round picks, including an early one inside the top-10, if he heads to Freo.

Don't want him.

It's the perfect out if he has just nominated the state. In my mind we are now under no obligation to trade for him, where we would of been if he had nominated us. Offer what we got for Langdon and let's move on.

 

[Joao]

If they are not giving up pick 2 then its future first (which could be just as high) or why are they bothering? You're not getting it done for second rounders unless you can package up 6 of them.

Because they aren't bothering.

 

[Lach72]

Lol.
Whately arguing Jackson is now worth more than pick 3.
“2 and 20 would be perfect”

 

[Lach72]

Slobbo making more sense.
“He’s not worth two firsts. He’s fallen off a cliff, who knows whether he’ll get to the level expected. Play like Peter Moore, don’t know if he’ll get anywhere near that!”
