Already had Jackson sitting at F1 so got mixed feelings about this news

Certainly firms up my structure :LOL:
I hear ya, bad timing this, I have had him from dot too, now there'll be a bandwagon to be jumped on.
Or.......you two could think yourself lucky you maybe riding a 110+ average over the first half a dozen rounds now and not an 85-90 :LOL:

This also has ramifications for Fyfe - looked like him & Darcy had a good understanding at clearances/stoppages, Fyfe is so good at positioning himself to get the tap/ using his big body then dishing off the handball to a teammate when the opposition tackles him. Not sure he would have the same connection with Jackson being so different to Darcy. Jackson is such an athletic ruck, he would probably be more inclined to tap it to open space & run on to collect it himself, then kick it long! That's fine with me now Luke, your in my team ;)(y)
And Young maybe also

Won’t be long before players miss minimum 2 games with concussion
Given the basis for the 12 days recommendation was...ummm...let's put it kindly, political, I think this is a good thing. I can see it going out to 3 games in due course. The suspensions for recklessly and intentionally causing it will need to increase to be minimum of x2 that to be 'fair'.

Completely agree!

On the other hand, if you haven’t got Jackson at F1, it’s not going to be that easy to bring him in.
Almost certainly you will have to give up a premo somewhere that you want…
I’m hoping something from R0 will clarify it for me..

Unfortunately, in the world we live in today, being seen to be doing something about a problem, is actually more important than the results it gets!
Total ass covering. They immediately have an answer, for all the hand wringers out there asking "What have you done about this problem?!".
Applies to the AFL, large corporations, and especially governments, from local to Federal.
Look at all the money misspent on environmental issues and "woke-ism", just so they could answer the question "What have you done?".



(not saying all the money spent on environmental problems is misspent, but a LOT of it is very inefficiently used!)

I couldn't disagree more. In fact, a $10 million report produced by a consultant commissioned by the Commonwealth found that taxpayer money was spent on environmental issues very efficiently indeed.
How many times a day do you bite your tongue? It must be many, what with it being permanently planted in your cheek and all.

OG LJ owners might get their wish, I'll happily jump off if Reidy is named R1, or if Darcy is down to 3 weeks by next week's injury list :sneaky:

Reidy $123,900 RUC only, 20SC in a half last week. One positive was he basically played every minute of the second half (46% TOG for the game) but would just be R3 and be lucky to get much of a price rise you'd think.
