Does Jack still live at home?
No, but he wouldnt have to covertly visit the club to talk to anyone from there would he? He could simply talk to Dad and Uncle Ross over a hearty meal cooked by Jo.

One thing that will interest me is if Carlton supporters, who said there was no nepotism when they were both at Carlton, change their tune.
 
I have been confused about McGovern's FA status.

So I did a dive on FA rules.


Basically if he has not been delisted

AND has not served 8 years of service for the same club

Then he is NOT a Free Agent.

He also does not appear on the AFL's FA list

Zak would only make sense on the possibility that Charlie was going to the Swans and the Swans gave us something like ‘25 & ‘26 firsts and a best 22 player, then we on-traded those 1sts and our TDK 1st for Zak…
 
I spoke to one of our senior players today, also a close mate of Charlie.

Didn’t want to annoy him but casually asked about the Charlie-to-Sydney rumours and he just laughed and nah, no chance.

Assume weird trades are held very tightly until they happen but make of that what you will.

It seems strange to me other than SOS being a bellend as usual but I hear he has made a play for Jack. 5 years at $800k. They don’t appear to have a salary cap. From a bloke who would know.

Won't be an actual offer, just leaking it to give Jack a bargaining chip to try and squeeze his other suitors for a bit more. The conflict of interest is strong ;)

JSOS’s departure has been weighing on me so much that I dreamt I ran into Jack here in NYC—an unlikely scenario, but I gave it my all. I told him the Club is more than its coaches or admin; it’s the fans, and we absolutely adore and value him.

I pointed out that fans have, at times, criticized Cripps, Walsh, Weitering, Charlie, McKay, and even Doch online, but never Jack—not once. We know he always gives 100% and is the ultimate clubman.

I said that while he’s a professional and doesn’t owe loyalty to a club he was born into, he should consider how he’ll feel in 20 or 30 years if he leaves now for the wrong reasons, breaking the bond with the fans who make the Club what it is. He listened, thanked me for sharing, but didn’t hint at his decision.

It might be too late, but I tried :)
