Yes he said he's ready to go, was a bit sore last week, but all good now. He said he's the type of person that needs to build in a bit with preseason running and football stuff, during isolation couldn't get that intensity in training and went a bit hard the first couple of weeks and his body wasn't ready for it, was off by 3-4 training sessions, but ready to go now.

LUKE JACKSON (MELB)
$198,300
Some say this kid will be the next Brodie Grundy – and it’s not hard to see why.
The athletic big man, who can play forward, has plenty of tricks and his elite tap-work is matched by an ability to follow up when the ball is on the ground.
Jackson’s junior numbers are also on the Grundy-end of the SuperCoach scale, with the 18-year-old averaging 162 points per game at WAFL Colts level and 110 for WA at the national under-18 carnival.
And he’s only been dedicated to footy for less than two years.
THE PHANTOM’S VERDICT: It will take some time before he even comes close to Grundy, but the young big man might see some early action in Melbourne’s forward-line in 2020.
And maybe even as a back-up ruckman, depending on Max Gawn’s recovery.
-----------------
ok - will pass for the first week at least

Had a feeling Smith would be named. All the talk on him internally has been really positive and he’s a Goodwin favourite.
So that’s at least 6 changes for the Dees.
I’ll go with:
OUT: Spargo, Bedford, Brown, Lockhart, O McDonald, Neal-Bullen
IN: Jones, Salem, Smith, Bennell, Jackson, Rivers
Hibberd could also be at risk.
