Of course I rate what we have done with our squad in recent years, some hard decisions were made and likely more will follow. And so people making this decision get some leeway from me. But personally, I don't like chasing Jackson hard. At all. He is clearly earmarked on potential still, and everything I see has him enjoying Melbourne living and football personally. The money being touted sends the wrong message to players in our squad (and not just the like-for-like options) currently performing at levels better than Jackson if you ask me. Who knows what Darcy thinks of this for one. With rucks falling like flies this year, the currency of Meek is sadly huge, and I see him as a key plank to keep.
