新弗裏曼特爾球員盧克·傑克遜透露，他在賽季中期的休息期間會見了兩家西澳大利亞俱樂部，他從墨爾本回到珀斯的申請早在AFL賽季結束之前就已經確定了。傑克遜是2021年效力於惡魔隊的英超球員，他在周一確認與碼頭工人隊的交易時表示，“我卸下了肩上的重擔”。盡管他在6月的周末假期回到珀斯探親時也接受了西海岸老鷹隊的投球，但這位21歲的球員表示，轉會到碼頭工人隊“感覺很好”。傑克遜說:“在告別假期期間，我遇到了(西海岸)，他們做了一個非常好的宣傳。”“認識他們真好。但當我遇到Freo的時候，我知道那就是我想要的地方，感覺很好。“這裏所有的男孩都很有幹勁。這是一支可以推動俱樂部前進的年輕隊伍。我很年輕，也能適應那裏的環境，我很期待見到他們所有人。”墨爾本的官員很久以前就對失去傑克遜感到失望，最終用他換來了13號選秀權，這是一個未來的狀元簽和一個未來的二輪簽，44號和67號選秀權也流向了弗雷奧。 Jackson said he “just wanted it done” after haggling stretched in to the second week of the AFL trade period. “Super excited. It’s a big weight off my shoulders,” Jackson said. “As the season started to go on, I had a bit of a feeling it would land at Freo. “I just wanted to get it done in the end. I’m happy it’s done.” Jackson said he’s already spoken to Fremantle ruckman Sean Darcy about what they could achieve together, and has one ambition for his new team. “I met with Sean a couple of times, and we were both talking about how good it could potentially be,” he said. “So I’m looking forward to getting to work with him and seeing how that looks. “Hopefully I can fit right in there and the main goal of bringing a flag to Freo would be awesome,” Jackson said. “I think every team plays to win, and if it was next year that would be unreal. There’s a lot of hard work to go, but it’s good to be aiming high.”
