So do we return fire with rumours of McVee, Rivers and van Rooyen meeting with Fremantle whilst in WA?

McVee.
His dad told me every club has asked about him.
So can confirm

"pr stunt". lol, way too many egos on this board, honestly. Mitch Cleary did absolutely nothing wrong, never said Jackson wanted out, used his words very well. Mitch is also one of very few good journalists in this sport and knows interstate lists quite well.

Melbourne aren't desperate either, they're just trying to better themselves, which is what every sporting club does. This isn't some petty move because of Kozzie, that's just nuffie mindset.

“Victorian clubs feel the door is ajar for Jackson to have his head turned.“

Mitch, that is just such a useless nothingburger of a sentence.

If the angle is his partner is based over there just come out and say that. Saying that there we can’t afford Kozz and Warner without giving up something significant is self evident.

Someone said that she has moved to Perth. This backs it up. Seriously, nothing in it.

Browne steps into new role with Fever

Browne will continue with Fever in a Club Ambassador role as well as being a Training Partner, which will allow her to explore career opportunities outside of netball. Browne said: “It's really exciting time to be stepping into a new role next year with Fever, which allows me to explore a heap...

Jackson has five years to run on his contract (including 2025). I'm not sure anyone has been traded with four years to go.

I'll keep an eye out next week for a Jackson contract extension.

Grundy would be close. Maybe 4 years left.

 

[Dockeroo]

Haha how’s David King - Luke Jackson AND freos first rounder in exchange for Pickett?!

**** me has Pickett turned in to Wayne Carey!

It's a PR stunt by Melbourne, not by Cleary. Cleary just enabled it by being ridiculously vague with his wording.

Their club have been hammered all off and pre-season with the Oliver and Petracca shit, and then for the past few weeks with Pickett. They have a player who is actively and publicly showing he wants out before the season even starts. I can't believe you can be that niave to think that they might take this opportunity to spin the truth to get just an inkling of positivity heading their way. Go and talk to their CFO and I'm sure you'd find they are haemorrhaging money atm as well.

Nothing wrong with clubs using the media to their advantage by setting up a narrative they want, we do it to with Rhino all the time. Of course this is absolute BS, the timing of it is far too convenient otherwise.

You would think that SEN has more to cover with all the injuries to AFL lists at the moment than BS like this. In the end, pretty confident FFC is well-placed on and off the field to deal with this kind of crap.

Well said, and they'll lose key players after this season and they know it.

 

[Purple Jesus]

How the **** does this ridiculousness have legs in any way?

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

At least early commentary has Jackson worth more than pickett, which is accurate

Contracted longer, harder to find

Jackson for Pickett and a second is about right

Don't want to loose him but IF we can get Darcy right, not the end of the world

Um...

King: “What if it was - you can have Kozzy Pickett but it’s going to cost you a first-round pick and Luke Jackson?”

 

[s_wd6]

Yeah there’s no legs in this. Even if he wanted to go we don’t trade him with Darcy always injured and Reidy being ass. No point having Warner and Pickett if you’ve got Reidy tapping it down to the oppo every time.

Cleary nipping that comment in the butt. tDK worth 1.7 a year, Jackson similar player

Harder to find a big than it is a small

If a club is willing to pay that sort of money for that sort of player then Jackson's new manager would only be doing his job to see if he can move Jackson onto that sort of contract.

For sure. If our list plays to potential the salary cap management will be a challenge. That's a big part of why the long contracts have proliferated.

As much as I completely understand if someone is offering Jackson almost a million dollars more a season to move, given he is already most of the way to a million a year and contracted for four years at the end of this season and the investment Fremantle has already made into him (#15, #5, #23) - I really don't see how an opposition club could put enough value on the table to consider it.

 

[Dockeroo]

Kingy trying to devalue Jackson - what a twat. At least Mitch shot him down decisively.

Most interesting titbit here for me is Mitch saying “Jackson sees himself as a number one ruckman”

I have heard this said before a number of times in the past by different people and it's always made me wonder… there must be some truth to it


The reality is as long as Sean Darcy is at Freo then Luke wont be the number one ruck. So I cant see how that matches up with his desire to be a number one ruckman?

 

[Joao]

I listened to that and its one of those ones where the clubs think they might be able to turn Luke's head and not his head has turned. I suspect this happens 500 times a season but doesn't usually get reported. I think it is fairly easy to guess why this one got out.

Cleary's language in no way indicates this is Jackson driven. Doesn't guarantee he won't change his mind, but I'm filing this in the believe when he requests a trade category.

 

[BREATHLESS_987]

**** me has Pickett turned in to Wayne Carey!

Somedays I’ll listen to SEN and think to myself, “you know what Kingy isn’t that bad. Clearly doesn’t rate JL but is otherwise pretty good value”.

Then he goes and says something like that and I remember, “oh, he actually is an absolute peanut”.

It’s just like Lobb, came here cos he wanted to be a forward, left cos he apparently wanted to be a ruck (or something of the sort).

You ask Jackson why he came here and the story is that Freo sold it to him by saying they didn’t just see him as a ruckman.

It’s just manager talk for whatever narrative is more convenient at the time.

This could only be coming from Luke's manager, and it sounds like his manager wants to re-negotiate his contract.

 

[s_wd6]

This gives me similar vibes to the Bobby Hill rumours where it’s very obvious that he’s just trying to get himself on better money and actually has no desire to get back to WA.

With some of the contracts being thrown around now Jackson’s 850k a year is cheap. Also lines up with the change to McDougall. Gives us as much trouble as Colon.

If clubs are offering $1.7m a year for a forward/ruck then he's leaving almost a million on the table a year, a career's worth of money just in his existing contract.

I'd expect the manager to claim Jackson himself is pregnant and needs to be closer to his mother, who is moving to Melbourne to be closer to Luke after he moves there - all in a whateverittakes style media blitz to avoid the totally understandable "Luke can make nearly twice the money at market rate and we want to get that for him".

But a club paying a fortune for a contracted player comes with a fortune in trade cost too.

I'd let him go for the trade capital required to move him on a $1.7m contact with 4 years to go on his current one. Reckon it would break some records.
