Darcy is slow and had a shocker against the Pies mentally suspect for mine. Meek is being chased by a lot of clubs and is burning in the WAFL finals keep him add Jackson and Geelong have always been keen on Darcy. Save a lot trade picks.

AFL News: Jackson makes his choice, McRae admits he messed up, Zorko restores image, Dees duo banned

It is ridiculous, doubt the Bulldogs need him. 3 years at North for 300 a yr maybe.

Tend to agree Lobb is apparently on 800 grand a year so off loading him frees up a lot of cash.

Fremantle number two ruckman Meek has a huge future is being sought by a lot of clubs. Don’t be surprised he stays and if they get Jackson, Darcy will go back home to Geelong. Some will laugh but don’t rule it out.

Melbourne crash and burn, to be left in no man's land

Just in from Perth. Freo are keen to lure the Pies tall forward Henry to replace the outgoing Lobb.

Reports in Perth this morning Freo are keen on Henry. Certainly need a player of his type.

AFL Finals Focus: Fast, furious and fantastic - the Pies hit Freo with everything they fear most

I do agree on your assessment of Don.His judgement of Freo players past and present is very poor is putting it mildly. You may not be aware that Freo being a younger club than the four clubs you mentioned did not get anywhere the concessions as them. Mark Harvey built a strong team that Ross Lyon inherited and made a GF and performed well but fell short. Lyon then sent the club backwards one reason persevering with old players and a terrible so called renovation. Freo apart from a few duds have a strong young list. There close….St Kilda have not won a flag for 50 years. It’s not easy.

Being a Cats fan you would be very aware of players being shockingly substandard in finals from very experienced players. Jackson was relatively good considering his age plus how did he go in last years finals ?

I agree Darcy, Walker, Chapman and Switkowski in particular failed the pressure test.

Jackson won’t need teaching to become a great player as a 21 yo he is a naturally gifted and above all is he is tough mentally and physical something that Taberner, Lobb and Logue don’t possess.

Sturt has just I signed extension on his contract.

I think Jackson is a bit smarter than a few roar subscribers to the Roar. He will be huge for Freo and he will add another premiership medal for himself.

Freo will gain experience from finals experience with Amiss and Treacy there is future up forward and adding a tough competitor in Jackson is huge. Moving on Taberner and Lobb who are mediocre front runners will be a bonus and Logue won’t be missed either a pick in the draft is a better option. Sturt will add class up forward as well next year.

Lobb will be fine just a heart muscle.

AFL News: Rutten keen to stay but Lloyd wants Clarkson at Bombers, Cameron out, Gray, Edwards retiring, Fyfe back?

Another thing with Fyfe he won’t succumb and buckle at the knees like big Tommy Hawkins when the pressure comes.

AFL News: Rutten keen to stay but Lloyd wants Clarkson at Bombers, Cameron out, Gray, Edwards retiring, Fyfe back?

Wipe Fyfe off at your own peril. He is more than capable of kicking a bag in a final more so than Lobb or Taberner.

AFL News: Rutten keen to stay but Lloyd wants Clarkson at Bombers, Cameron out, Gray, Edwards retiring, Fyfe back?

Darling in a injury riddled side was way better than Lobb. Eagles wth nearly ten top 22 unavailable held Freo to 7 goals. Hardly inspiring !

AFL News: Rutten keen to stay but Lloyd wants Clarkson at Bombers, Cameron out, Gray, Edwards retiring, Fyfe back?

Freos only chance of winning one or even two finals is for Fyfe to regain some form and play a key forward role. They have not had a quality big man up there since Pavlich. Last week against the depleted bottom side they produced 7 goals.

AFL News: Rutten keen to stay but Lloyd wants Clarkson at Bombers, Cameron out, Gray, Edwards retiring, Fyfe back?

Pearce and Cox leaked 11 goals against Curnow and McKay recently there really not that good Don.

Pearce and Cox certainly had a problem with Curnow and McKay last time. About 11 goals between them.

Six Points: Get set for the best final round EVER, and 2022's worst dive named and shamed

With no key tall forward Freos only chance of winning a final is against the bulldogs unless Fyfe can return to form and kick straight which is a big if. To even think of risking injury prone Taberner would be suicide. Cox and Pearce were mauled by Curnow and big Harry.

Sydney fans booed because they like every club don’t like stagers.

Sydney fans booing a injured player a little hypocritical.

Lobb received 10 votes from the coaches makes your statement look pretty stupid.

AFL Saturday Study: This is 2022's best-coached team. Here's why they're a September dark horse

Taberner has yet again broken down. Even if he recovers for the finals it would be madness to play him. Has struggled his whole career to put games together time to delist.
