Anyway selling the farm for Jackson is Freo's concern and I hope we're sniffing around for a bargain in the fire-sale.
I think there could be some bargains available but our priority is still likely to be Lobb. I wonder what we might need to part with to get him.

WHAT!?
I honestly thought he was on the right side of 25. Well as you say it's their problem if they want 3 rucks in a team.

Re: List Managment thread (For 2022)
ATM it seems getting Lobb is seen as akin to Scomo's submarines.
Committed to it when benefit in the changing future is uncertain.
However I am a fan of him as Dog. Let Bevo work the magnets but Lobb is an experienced versatile professional ruckman who wants to come to us.

Acres and Tucker appear to be two having a look around for greener pastures

Both good players for the right team. Acres really has performed well this season.

Always looked a good prospect with the Saints and has been excellent this year - ready made big bodied mid/wing/half back for someone - suspect Freo will revise their contract offer and look to retain him though
Both would potentially suit North to add more experience and senior bodies

Unless North let JHF go or get a PP they really don't have the currency to trade for established players but you're right they would be a positive for North.

For a team that is right in the mix for the flag, they are really keen on rejigging the playing list.

I think if North let JHF go the place will be razed to the ground.

They seem to have hired a really good young coach in Longmuir - Ive been impressed by the way they play, but I think they know they need more than what they have to take the 'big' step
They are very keen to get Jackson and hes a great long term piece - how much other meaningful change there is around that remains to be seen, but they are being aggressive thats for sure
In the end I cant see them wanting to lose Acres

Yes that would be the dumbest decision ever.

Schache could be our bargaining chip that could suit their forward needs. I'm not sure if Schache is a free agent yet though.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

They must have a long term plan despite what's happening this year.

Might get a freo retro round jumper in return.
