Yeah exactly which is why you'd have to be sure he was up for another crack.Bolton could coast at Tigers for the rest of his career and be satisfied - he’s likely on good money and already won flags

Regarding Baker. What positions can/does he play?
Limiting opponent hit out to advantageUnder what measure would people say Jackson isn’t a great ruck. Which of these do we think he isn’t good at in the ruck:
- Limiting opponent hit out to advantage
- Generating clearances by doing it himself or hit out to advantage
- Floating forward for a goal
- Marks around the ground
Dogga might not be a traditional style ruck but he impacts in all the same ways. He’s literally in our best players each week playing as the number 1 ruck

Point 1 he was soundly beaten in the first half yesterday at centre clearance and around the ground. Treacy was more effective in the middle.Under what measure would people say Jackson isn’t a great ruck. Which of these do we think he isn’t good at in the ruck:

How is Stengle this year?In my slightly educated opinion
- Baker
- McDonald
- Warner
- Bolton (heard nothing here)
I really only included Bolton because if Richmond had any sense he’s exactly who they should ask if he’d like to explore his options
He was good on field this week. Not sure why he would leave Geelong. They looked pretty good against Adelaide.How is Stengle this year?
Off field how is he?
At least he fills a need.

He got smashed in the ruck by xerri for almost entire half
Xerri (who I rate quite highly after watching that btw)was a massive reason in giving their midfield all the ascendency in the first place .
Which led to their overall dominance
Do that against even half competent teams let alone the top ones and theirs no coming back from the margin like we did.
Also there’s a BIG difference between doing what jacko did yesterday against a young team in round 2 with only chop out from total part timer in Treacy and under the roof at marvel and then doing it in the wet (or dry) in round 19 against a finals side at the G/ Adelaide oval .
Dogga could not do what he did yesterday for entire year without a genuine break from No 1 ruck duties from another actual competent ruckman.
Now if we want to go down that route and run our most valuable asset into the ground by playing predominantly in the ruck for an entire season, year after year then I suggest we may as well take advice from the likes of corns and king literally as a club
Point 1 he was soundly beaten in the first half yesterday at centre clearance and around the ground. Treacy was more effective in the middle.
Let’s see what the Darcy/Jackson combo looks like over a half dozen games before we “Kane Cornes” Darcy out of Freo.
We’ve signed Darcy longterm but if it doesn’t work then we move on but we haven’t a whole season where they have played together yet.
Difference is we all know Duffield watches Freo and knows about us. He can say what he wants and it will have merit to us because he knows the club.Yes, as good as Jackson is, he is 22 and a few years away from being able to smash other rucks the whole game. Gawn, Cox and other gun rucks managed to do it year in and out and play 300 games. Why is Jackson not going to be able to?
I’m not advocating for Darcy to be traded, I have said lots of time it’s a bad idea but I think everyone dismissing any media commentary around it have bigger blinkers on then I do. When Duffield starts saying how he thinks there’s a discussion there (and he just compared him to Stephen Michael) are you all going to brush him off as stupid as well?
Ok, I watch every Freo game a few times and I understand the discussion pointDifference is we all know Duffield watches Freo and knows about us. He can say what he wants and it will have merit to us because he knows the club.
That’s completely different from Cornes or some other eastern bum saying the same thing every time they see Jackson play a good game in their one Freo game they watch for the month.
But you also understand the value Darcy brings to the team and the fact that him and Jackson can work together and we have proof of it. It’s different when these guys throw s**t at Darcy being a “backup ruck” and compare LJ/Darcy to Gawn/Grundy for no other reason except that they’re all rucks.Ok, I watch every Freo game a few times and I understand the discussion point

No blinkers on from me but let’s wait and see when we have enough evidence of them playing together to make a judgement either way.Yes, as good as Jackson is, he is 22 and a few years away from being able to smash other rucks the whole game. Gawn, Cox and other gun rucks managed to do it year in and out and play 300 games. Why is Jackson not going to be able to?

Who is most likely, in order?
All some are saying is he can be very damaging without being a ruck. Seems like a waste to me especially when we have at least one other very good option and likely two with Knobel. At the end of the day it is only Duffs opinion. Are you suggesting he is always right?Yes, as good as Jackson is, he is 22 and a few years away from being able to smash other rucks the whole game.
