Jackson Of All Trades
Episode description
We don’t want to upset the coach and cop a lecture for getting ahead of ourselves, but is it too early to give Luke Jackson a nudge in the father son direction? Let’s hope he gets on the job in more ways than one. Time to Restump Podcast the news of arguably one Fremantle’s biggest gets.
Its not too often you get the chance to secure a 21-year-old Luke Jackson. David Walls, Peter Bell and JL just managed something remarkable and it will help set the club up for the next decade.
Understandably many fans have some trepidation as we’re still sporting the scars of many historic failed attempts with these types of deals. But Luke Jackson is a different kettle of big fish!
He’s a talent in the air, yet as good on the ground. A ruckman, a forward, a roving utility…. the purple prototypical hybrid, if you will.
We’re not about to break into celebratory song signalling his arrival because we’ll leave that to the Freo social media team with their no doubt chart rocketing “Unicorn” banger… but we’ll quietly nod in appreciation and acknowledgment and say… welcome to the Purple LJ.
But while Jackson is the headline act, there’s plenty more happening down at Limestone Park.
We’ll have a chat about Ronnie Corbett who couldn’t have been more impressive in his interview, Josh Cyclone Treacy has been copping some seemingly unfair heat and what now for Lloyd “Braun” Meek?
Are we sharpening the offer for Jeremy? Ronnie Corbett, Will Brodie and Jeremy Sharp? Is there a Gold Coast quota that needs filling?
Lastly does the Luke Jackson news now spark the Rory Lobb deal to the Dogs? If the trade isn’t of value does the club dig in? We’d like to think so.
All that and plenty more on this momentous Monday where too much marvelling is never enough. Join us for our usual recap nonsense and put your best ears forward to be part of the starting twenty-two.
