Bit of a stretch. Nic Nat wasn’t even a top 3 player while we were rebuilding in his 4th season for us and he wiped the floor with Jackson’s numbers this season.

Top 10 maybe.
Cool story bro. Looks pretty close to me. So is Jackson better than you care to admit or is NN just an overrated waste of a number 1 draft pick who couldn’t even outpoint Luke Jackson on stats?

Trade ended up being Jackson, Knobel and Wagner to Freo for Jefferson (2022 P13), Windsor (2023 P7) and about a quarter of Thulstrop (2023 P13, Melbourne traded up from their Pick 18 using our F2).

Worth every pick and penny
Ended up costing you Acres, Logue, Ed Allen and Dan Curtin in reality. Plus another 2nd rounder.

It’s no coincidence all of the top 4 noise and flag promises have vanished since Jackson came on board.

Looks like you’ve proved my point. Jackson cops a flogging in the ruck while not even matching Nic’s goals per match.

That trade took you from finals contenders to bottom 4 favourites next year, and tipped your rebuild over the 10 year mark.
 
Just watch the Back Chat Poddie with Tom Boyd, this is one of THE best reflective Poddies I watched / listened to, he talks of the pressures of being the hottest property in football. Everyone with an interest in Drafting, Trading, need to watch / listen and hope West Coast don’t take Harley through the same wringer.

He isn't a flight risk like Harley Reid. If the hype is justified in a season or two he'll just nominate which Vic club he wants and Lathlain will just have to do a deal.

One player won't fix Lathlain's problems, they run far deeper. Once he is in the big league he'll soon learn his little fend off won't work against the big boys.
Jackson most definitely is a flight risk. No Action’s already shown he’s willing to abandon his team at the drop of a hat for a better deal, and with Cockburn’s history of having local lads walk out the door it’s very likely he’d follow suit and keep the trend rolling if anyone’s in the market for a spare ruck. Harley seems a much more loyal type.

We don’t need Reid to fix anything, our main problem has been getting players on the park and if we can get a decent run on the availability front, he’ll be able to spend most of his time fending off small defenders around goals or on a flank without getting leaned on in the middle. We’ve got a deeper list than the other bottom of the ladder contenders like Cockburn, so if we can avoid another historical injury toll we should be fairing better than a few teams on the ladder next year.

Considering one D. Cox was playing in 2012 I’d hazard a guess Nic played similar ruck minutes as Jackson did in 2023. We all know NN was a generational tap ruckman, it’s just a pity he didn’t have a lot of other tricks.
And kicking one extra goal as deepest forward compared to a guy who plays CHF isn’t really much of an achievement.

"Jackson the Jeet", once he realizes Freo are not contending he will jump ship because he has already shown his colours once. I think Freo may be falling further down the ladder next season, they really had to play off in a final this year for Longy to get a pass and he failed. Sacked after round 10 is my best prediction at this stage.

Unfortunately for Boyd, he went to a club that has a head coach with more mental issues than he does.

A shame, because he showed his talent in the '06 GF.

Harley will be fine, he's finally had a day off from being back page of the West, now that they've realised nobody reads that shit rag to begin with.

Lucky he’s at WC then, Simmo has no mental issues with the state of your list and weekly floggings. He looked like he was going to cry multiple times last year.
