JACKSON’S UNIQUE CONTRACT COULD CHANGE
Footy’s unicorn Luke Jackson is already locked away on an eight-year deal that will see him very well paid into the future.
But the Dockers could in coming years convert the trigger clauses of his contract that extend past that...
Having heard about him but not watched him closely, I assume he was 190cm plus, and 100kg plus.
It shows Bont is taggable, and as their depth is being challenged their top 4 or 5 players will need to get them over the line.
They were a dirty dirty side. Nankervis especially just liked hurting people. (or was he just very clumsy)
They deliberately gave away a lot of free kicks to slow the ball down, similar to the profession free kicks in soccer. You may see a bit more of it, as if sides get out the back it is...

KEVIN SHEEHAN'S EARLY TOP 15 (No order)
Arki Butler (Vic Metro/Sandringham Dragons)
Tate Hodgson (Vic Metro/Northern Knights)
Harry Van...
It just a way of giving the bottom 5 clubs an extra pick, with out the AFL handing out free picks.
It will help the bottom 5 clubs rebuild faster, which I think most people will agree is a good thing.

A few questions - who gets the picks if someone trades away a top 5? I assume it is...
Who goes to Bont?
This is the type of game we need Youngs size in the middle. Serong can get pushed around in these games.
We may need to start with Wagner or Brayshaw on Bont, Young and one other in the middle and then others can come in later.
Let's not forget how much we got bullied last...
This year is a write off for Sturt. No preseason, lacking fitness. It would be almost impossible for him (someone who is borderline best 23 when fully fit) to make it back into the 23 this year.
I think the best case for him is he plays good in the WAFL and gets a 1 year rookie contract.
With the importance of centre taps, I thought clubs were moving towards jumping and taller rucks. (and playing 2 rucks 50-60% of game time)
You just can't concede the ruck contest, you need to at least break even and I don't see him challenging a 200cm plus ruck with a good leap.
It could...
My concern is the lack of pressure on the best 23.
No one is pushing to take a spot in the 23.
I was really hopeful one of small like Pickett would be hitting the scoreboard and demanding a spot in the 23.
Simpson is not finding the ball. Even NOD and Banfield are just playing solid games...
