Recommitted Luke Jackson [OOC 2029] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

[WilloTree]

Well, that didn't last long.

"Someone from the club has spoken to him already and he has reiterated that he doesn't want to go anywhere and he's never been happier, so we'll leave it at that I reckon."

yer because we have never seen a player in the history of the AFL say one thing and do the complete opposite.

Bookmarked. Let's see if he's still at Freo in 2026. One of us is going to look like a fool.

I don’t think either of us will look like a fool, but sure

I’m clearly not as invested as you are in this topic.

No need to wind it back. Just back yourself in mate, and we'll see at the end of the year.

My point is that at no point did I say he was leaving, nor do I care if he does or doesn’t, I was merely stating that words are cheap in the world of football

 

[Elixuh]

Really Interesting. Jackson’s partner is from Geelong, 33 years of age.
I’m sure he was aware of this before he signed the deal.
Pickett for Jackson is what Melbourne desperately want.

Beat Geelong can do is a second rounder and a player you’ve never heard of.

 

[tiger_tough]

Would be pretty funny if a trade got done back to Melbourne.

Jackson has higher trade value than Pickett does IMO.

 

[danster168]

They coming up with a couple of firsts to go with Kozzie yeah?

apparently he is a 2nd ruck only. basically regurgitating what all the freo fans said 2 years ago

 

[Hamingja]

Jackson’s partner hails from the Surf Coast



Here we go again

Bring her home

MEGA TRADE ALERT

Pickett & Warner - Freo
Jackson - Geelong
SDK & draft picks - Sydney + TDK as free agent
Draft picks to Melbourne

You heard it all here first

Lukey is a free spirit who goes wherever the wind blows him*

*wind may be his girlfriend giving him marching orders

‘Never been happier’: Jackson tells Freo he’s staying

Justin Longmuir says ruck star Luke Jackson isn’t interested in leaving the club and has told the Dockers he has never been happier about living in Perth.

To be fair to Barrass, the Eagles promised him they'd look at his contract and they broke that promise.

 

[STPer18]

Might be time to bring this one home.

 

[Tugga27]

Yep

Just trying to point out though that whatever players and club say midseason, you can take with a grain of salt.

I give the rumour some credence as it was from Mitch Cleary.
If it was from someone like Barich or Gossage though, I wouldn't believe a word it.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Now if ever there was a type of ruck (and Geelong has a bad history with ruck trade results) that Geelong would pay overs for its Jackson as he's the type of ruck that Scott loves. But it's irrelevant as Jackson isn't leaving WA (thankfully).

Smoke typically = fire.

Not saying he’ll go, but there’s some chance.

Not to mention Freo would be mad not to entertain it. Two #1 rucks never really works. If they could turn Jackson into Pickett and Warner they’d be mental not to try it.

It just means he has spoken with his manager. His manager knows Jacko's contract is unders with the new CBA, so is making noises in the media.

And the language from Mitch suggests Jacko could be open to leaving if there's a huge offer, but what he really wants to do is leverage the Kozzie talk to generate a better contract for his client at Freo.

All you need is the bloke to say he's got to 'do his time' in Perth, and like all social media posts that link him to a Victorian club then the trifecta is complete

 

[markm106]

If he’s coming back to Victoria it’s 100% Melbourne. Has strong relationships with many at the club and would also tie in with Kozzy wanting to go to Freo.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

If Melbourne said we want Jackson in some sort of Pickett deal, I think Freo would hang up the phone straight away. Jackson would have much more trade value imo.

 

[chaddy22]

Don't really care whether Jackson stays or goes.
After all the grief we are getting about Harley heading home especially from Dockers fans i will be happy if this is in the media all year and on the back of the West Australian.

Yeah this is the only way I think we'd consider it i'd imagine.

well the eagles did look at it, gave him a decent bump too. He just wanted more

 

[RanaNaved]

I think in today's game, elite small forwards like Pickett are more valuable than second rucks. If this trade were to happen, I can't see the Dees adding anything with Pickett
