Here we go again.. first thought is that I will find a way to bring in Jackson - Fwd/Ruc at $509K.
He can be very frustrating, dropping too many marks after getting clear hands to the pill.
But he is still only 23 - I think I'll take the punt that there is improvement to come and soon..
He might not be out for too long though....

Liam Reidy looked quite decent when he played the last few games of the season last year as the main ruck so there is real doubt Jackson would be the main ruck anyway

Injury watch: The key players racing the clock for round one
https://www.afl.com.au/news/1265997/state-of-play-whos-injured-at-your-club

Tholstrup out for 10-12 could open up a spot for one of the Melbourne rookies. Melksham also tore his hamstring last week with no date.

Top draftee Xavier Lindsay (knee) and forward Charlie Spargo (Achilles) have also integrated into full training after being restricted in the lead-up to Christmas, but Kade Chandler (shoulder) and Judd McVee (foot) remain on a modified program but expect to integrate into contact drills in the next week. Pickett also out for the first 3 weeks.

Think we get Spargo with ANB gone and Tholstrup injured but dont expect the scoring to be great.

It's good that they also have plenty of forward rookies if it wasn't Spargo.
McAdam, Johnson, Laurie, Jefferson/Fullarton. I think I read somewhere that Petty was with the backline, but I could be wrong.

Something just stunk for me and its been proven spot on, happy those considering have been bailed out.

Will be very interesting if we end up with Reidy,Crossley and Boyd all playing Round 1
I started the 3 rookie ruck line a couple of years ago and was 10th overall after a few rounds. Slowly slipped down the rankings after that though.

Just reading that sam flanders is injured, a back complaint. He is unable to do any contact and just running. They don't know when he will be back to full training and they are hopeful for round one. That's concerning especially at his price tag.

Yeah it was reported on Monday, I've already swapped him out for Daicos.

Yep between that and the early bye, I think he's now an upgrade target.
