We don't have key forwards? Anyone heard of young guns Treacy & Amiss who can't even get a game at the moment. Well certainly not a Melbourne journalist who can't even point to Fremantle on a map. Jackson is only 11 months older than Treacy.
A straight swap of Jackson for Lobb + a pick seems like a fair trade to me. They would each be playing for the other's money.
As for Angus, sure he's a good player, which one of Andrew, Brodie & Serong is he supposed to replace, apart from Mundy? We also have a dual Brownlow medallist who tends to play well in the midfield.
Freo already have a premiership calibre side. Bringing Jackson in would only work if Lobb leaves, if that's the reason, so be it.
Even if Lobb leaves and we don't get Jackson, then Treacy plays FF and Taberner plays Forward/Ruck. Somehow Amiss has to get a game too!
I feel worried for Dave, I can see him being squeezed out Nathan Jones style if he plays on next season. I hope I'm wrong.
