Surely you recognise now that the GOAT needs to be solo ruck. Grundy just held him back last year

lol I called you out. Own the L. we're not talking about last year. what are you banging on about last year for 😀 You said Gawn was embarassing this year. Not sure he'd be embarrassed about being the dominant ruck in the comp again. Last year was the Grundy effect. Now that he's back solo, he's...

lol u been hiding under a rock? He never lost form

As you were saying haha. Never ever doubt the GOAT. On his way to his 7th All-Australian. More than Dean Cox :P

you realise you're offering him a large contract at 800k a season. that demonstrates your interest in him. Regardless of early season form, what has Thilthorp done? absolutely nothing. Petty is one hell of a player who is just coming off a limited preseason, just like Oliver.

Nah. much more. we're not judging him off his early season form. Coming off a limited preseason due to an extremely serious lisfranc injury.

No way Melbourne are agreeing to the trade either. Adelaide should though. Petty is one of the dees most important players and thilthorpe has still yet to fire a shot at afl level. The freo situation is totally different, Jackson was out of contract. Petty is contracted for 2025 so if Adelaide...

the question was hypothetical. so whether it's likely to happen or not is irrelevant. Thilthorpe being a pick 2 is irrelevant also. Thilthorpe isn't worth anywhere near that now. And you mention draft picks but Adelaide doesn't have the draft capital to satisfy Melbourne unless they finish low.

I think the offer Adelaide will put to Petty speaks for itself

you've got to be joking. Petty is so much better than Thilthorpe it's not even funny. I'd want a top 10 pick if they're giving us thilthorpe tbh.

No need. You used sarcasm in most of your posts pointing fun at Jackson's perceived value. Next minute, he's your best player in a flash.

lol what are you on about? Going through the thread where freo fans said he was 'potential only' and 'only a 2nd ruck'?

In your eyes he's improved a lot. In my eyes, he was just stuck behind Gawn. I wouldn't expect neutrals to know half as much as demons fans who watch all of our games, watch us train etc. At the time, freo was seen as a team pushing for top 4 can we agree? so freos first round pick was viewed...

Yes, the only counter to being wrong about Jackson is by saying that 'we could only trade what we had'. but that is so far off the mark of what was being said here. People were saying 'he is potential only', 'a 2nd ruck only', 'finished low in the Bnf' and completely belittled what he'd shown...

Nah I meant Brayshaw or Serong. I rated Jackson as high as any of them at the time of trade. And I'm guessing should either of those guys been up for trade then you wouldn't be happy with pick 2 late firsts and a 2nd round pick. Admittedly became pick 7 but the fall of freo was unexpected by all...

I hear you. But I was called a troll for saying that I believed Jackson was worth every bit of Brayshaw and Serong. I think I even got a weeks ban because I said I thought he was already better than Darcy. Within 1 season, my thoughts on Jackson was all completely justified and I had to put up...

So hypothetically Jackson wanted to go to another club what would you want for this '2nd ruck' :)

Logue and Pick 20..how are they working out. :) Own your misread. :)

why would I be happy? Jackson was worth 3 first rounders including one in the top 5. Not the poor picks that we got. Windsor ain't no Jackson. I'm just keeping people accountable for getting their read on Jackson so bad at the time. So even though he's basically your best player now (alongside...

Ok so question to Freo fans, when Darcy comes back and Jackson becomes '2nd ruck' as he was behind Gawn, can I call Jackson a '2nd ruck' and say that he's only with 2 late first rounders? Is that how it works?

You thought Griffin Logue and Pick 20 = Luke Jackson. Beyond frustrating to have to listen to this stuff all trade period.

How about his 2023 and 2024 form mate? Happy now? :) It was so obvious that Jackson was going to be a jet.

So many freo fans had such a horrible read on Jackson at the time. We wonder why the thread had so many posts. Because Dees fans were the only ones that understood his value and freo fans simply didn't have any idea at just how much he had shown in his time at Melbourne. It will forever go...

You tried to be smart. Yet I was the one who was correct on Jackson this whole time. Apologies accepted :)

of course, everyone would take Jackson over Windsor and Jefferson.

I don't completely disagree. But you did throw away a couple of high picks to take Harley Reid though, right? You could've split the picks but chose to take the highly touted Reid.

yeah, which became pick 7.

You said he doesn't fit a need now or in the future. How can you say that for a guy that is 21 years old? Good players fit every teams needs.

yeah, the peanut who said Jackson was a gun when freo fans were saying he had shown nothing and was only a 2nd ruck.lol. yeah...

just keeping you accountable.
