Recommitted Luke Jackson [OOC 2029] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

[Daka]

He is Fremantle's most important player...
I can't see Freo letting him go even if he wanted out.

The Kozzy Pickett situation made it like 10% chance on happening now that he has re-signed it's at 0%.

 

[TerryWallet]

Got some interesting mail from someone who should know last week.

Luke most definitely does want to come back to Melbourne next year.....with bloody Geelong as his strong preference.

Can it be done? who knows. He's on a long contract. Freo are deep in contending mode. Geelong don't like to pay overs. Sounds to me as though it would be unlikely.

But my strongly connected mail is that it is likely.

If you're gonna pay up bigtime for anyone, this one might be the one for Geelong. Jackson, Holmes, Smith looks pretty awesome for 10 years.

They’ve been floating that one around for months now. Cos his partner is from Geelong. No way it happens. Not while we’re just starting to challenge and he has 4 years left contracted.

At least when Melbourne was floating around they had Kozzie as a means of getting it done. Geelong have nothing.

How could it be likely? They'd have to give us Holmes for us to even entertain it. So it's not happening.

I dont know the logistics. Just passing on my mail from last week. I'll leave it at that..but just let you know the the mail is from Freo.

 

[FreoRicci]

Was always Geelong given his partner is from that area.
Holy crap would the Cats be loaded yet again for years

 

[bzparkes]

Cats could never facilitate it, they're just trying to bring any elite players in that they can to keep staying relevant.

Fremantle won't let him go so it doesn't matter.

with 4 years remaining on his contract would be the biggest haul in AFL history, Geelong of all teams have zero chance of facilitating it.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Don't really doubt that it's true, but it won't happen so it's irrelevant.

Geelong won't send anyone that could get the deal done (or they won't want to go) and Freo won't accept anything less than that for a contracted player, as is their right.

These sorts of deals are almost impossible when we don't have push-trades like the NBA/NFL.

 

[Monsterdarlz]

Freo would just tell the cats to gagf. They would of observed the tk and smith deals and unless they pull more then 3 FRP they won't entertain a trade

Agree.

With players veto on trades, it makes almost impossible to make big trades involving players.

We just don’t get player for player trades. Sometimes there are steak knives but even that is rare.

But when asked directly if he could categorically rule out moving to Victoria, Jackson said: "Ah, yes."
ABC News 17 March

 

[Mr Cheese]

Jackson's trade value currently is almost immeasurable;
23 Year's Old
Contracted 4 Years
Elite Ruck (vs non-brutes)
Good and rapidly improving mid/rover
Very good forward (elite set shot this year, kicking them from everywhere)
Starting to clunk marks (was a knock previously).

We got him for a steal (even Danster undervalued him I think).

That was not Dogga speaking. " Ah, yes" is not in his vocabulary !!!!.

Yeah, unt, ah, dunno, are more likely replies.

We love our Dogga, but don't let him near journo's.

Tbf there wasn’t really much else he could say to that question. Also I think circumstances changed a bit since under presser back to him wanting to leave again.

Absolutely - he is the (And always has been) the heir apparent to Gawn as the best ruck in the league by a margin.

It’s not going to be a win win for both clubs.

Fremantle will probably ask for Holmes, for example. Will price themselves out of the market that way.
Talking about first rounders with player involved.

I wouldn’t trade Jackson for 2x Holmes. Great player but players of Jackson size and agility are too unique.

 

[Warhorse]

Would take our next 3 FR picks. AFL will bend the rules for us. Get it done

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Wouldn't even do it for Holmes and 3 FRP

 

[Wizard]

Nope, 3 Geelong firsts doesn't do the deal.

3 x Picks in the 15-20+ range isn't reasonable value for him.

These guys don’t understand the difference between free agent Jeremy Cameron and a contracted Luke Jackson. We aren’t GWS.

What a load of utter crap. Your mail sucks. He is just about to sign an upgraded contract My info comes from someone with first hand contact with a Dockers Board Member. Do better.
