The Luke Jackson trade.

[A11dAtP0w3R]

How much is Darcey on?

would be north of 500k I reckon.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I can't imagine Jackson has the aptitude for chess.

Hungry hungry hippos is more Luke's style of game.

 

[Johnny Karate]

Hungry hungry hippos is more Luke's style of game.

Snakes and Ladders requires too much counting.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Snakes and Ladders requires too much counting.

 

[WillHayward]

The only way this all evens out is if the Dockers can get a top 10 pick for Darcy this year.

Seems very risky.

 

[JyeDye]

Paying overs for 'potential' never works out. Jackson plays 3-4 good games a year, just happened to have one of them in the most important game of his career.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

You've always gotta offer overs to get them across.

At $900k over 7 years.

Thats reserved for the upper echelon of superstars

He's on a hiding to nothing and locals will run him out of town.

The guys on a train to mental health breakdown.

There is no feather in Bell's cap on this one.

Bent over the table and feathers stuck up his ass

Jackson has plenty of time to develop but for this trade to work out for Freo, he must end up being a gun forward who can also ruck, not vice versa.

Saw one great game from him where he did this and they rest were just flashes. Freo went all in on this evidence and paid through the nose.

Hope it works out for them.

 

[Freomaniac]

I like the Hogan trade

Of course you do. You only handed up a 3rd rounder.

Dockers Handed up pick 6 and 23

is the bigger issue not Jackson. If Jackson is a “unicorn”, Darcy is more like a pug. Barely gets out of a jog, has no tricks and looks out of shape. Freo really should have moved him on last year and given Jackson 90% of the ruck work.

this.

freo fans love to make fun of fat nat but Darcy is doing a speed run to an even worse prognosis.

can’t believe neither of them have made or had it forced upon them the effort to drop 10kegs

 

[Gavin Excell]

Jackson should be forced to study Blicavs game. That’s where he will be an asset.

Doesn't have anywhere near the tank of Blicavs

It seems like it.
Although he did extract maximum value for Cerra.

And fleeced The Dogs for Lobb

 

[Toump Ass]

Two firsts and a second looking pretty “good business” at the minute.

How nice would a big fat Fremantle meltdown be? Like sack the coach, bottom 4, player exodus type of meltdown. Bit of scandal, players rolling cars over from partying, suspensions etc.

 

[Toump Ass]

Trading with Fremantle is really fun!

 

[The_Reaper]

I guess Freo got spooked because they didn’t want the Eagles to get him

 

[Toump Ass]

I reckon they just lured him outta spite. Everyone and their dog knew House Party Hogan was a risk but we fleeced them for a Top 10 pick plus change, then he got booted after a handful of games.
Now looks like they “doubledowned” on the stupid.

They are on the Nic Nat diet.

I was asking Freo fans about Jackson during the trade period, I didn't see him being worth what was being asked at the time, but he is very young, has plenty of time to come good... it is just hard for a side that wants to contend, you need more output from your players.

 

[blinkd]

The Jackson trade may still work out but Freo may want to tweak their strategy of cajoling young Perth based talent to come home.

Hogan, McCarthy and Bennell were massive busts. They had mixed success with Bradley Hill and Lobb but both pissed off fairly quickly. It’s almost as though offering huge trade, draft and salary cap capital for blokes to come back and underperform on a massive pay packet and have a good time with their scaly *boy mates at Claremont isn’t a recipe for success.

It’s our modus operandi.
For some reason we feel obligated to trade these guys in. Even with the Jackson trade the majority of fans I know weren’t keen

lol

Such a Bell-end

 

[citizen-erased]

Kelly trade

Freo have invested pretty well in youth
Amiss, odriscoll, erasmus, Johnson all to come into a relatively young side

Jackson will find his feet.

Not dissimilar to the sheezel contract extension thread - far too early

 

[Atomboy]

First month of the season for big calls is almost worse than the off-season for mine….

 

[danster168]

ROFL. Darcy sh*ts all over Jackson as a ruckman, and Jackson is pure hype elsewhere around the ground. On a pure comparison on what each offers, Darcy offers more than Jackson because at least he is a bona fide genuine ruckman. Jackson is neither a No. 1 ruckman nor can he lay claim to holding down a position elsewhere

You're judging Jackson on what though? He is playing out of position at the moment right? Every time he has played solo ruck he has dominated. A stat line of 25 touches, 8 tackles, 7 clearances, 25 hitouts are the sort of numbers he will put up when in his prime and given the opportunity but you're basing a 21 year old ruckman (even tho he isn't rucking) and has always been stuck behind a generational ruck in Max Gawn. I'm all for critiquing a player but surely wait until he fails when given the solo ruck gig first. His groundball, tackling and clearance stuff will be what he excels at when given the sole ruck position imo.
