If you had Jackson, would you trade him for Cerra? Very few people would. I don’t think Melbourne are positioning when they say he’s not on the table.
I don’t think Angus is an elite player, but to be a good team you need a number of good midfielders to run through the midfield. He’s definitely good enough to be part of a Premiership midfield even playing slightly out of position (as we’ll probably see later this month).
I’m curious what we do with Tucker. I think he’s still out of contract, and if we haven’t re-signed him by now then you’d think the writing is on the wall a little. Cerra and Tucker for Angus, Pickett and Melbourne’s second round pick.
