In an interesting turn of events, a report has revealed that Fremantle ruckman Luke Jackson is of interest to multiple Victorian clubs, "believing his head could be turned".

Jackson - who hails from Western Australia - was originally drafted by Melbourne with Pick 3 in the 2019 National Draft.

The athletic ruck was pivotal in bringing a drought-breaking premiership to the Demons in 2021 but always longed to return home.

At the end of 2022, both Fremantle and Melbourne made it happen for Jackson as the former coughed up two first-round picks for the Rising Star winner.

The 23-year-old has notched up 97 games (52 - Demons, 45 - Fremantle) and has shown glimpses of his brilliance, pricking the ears up of rivals who may think he's gettable.

Despite his happiness at the Western Australian club, where he is contracted until the end of 2029, where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

So, we assess five clubs that could make a move for Luke Jackson...

4. North Melbourne

You can't go among potential landing spots for any star of the competition without mentioning the Kangaroos.

The forever-rebuilding club, like St Kilda, has often found themselves empty-handed when striving to land a big fish. Dusty. Kelly. Even Horne-Francis, who left after 12 months.

North Melbourne have the funds. They have talented youth. They've got the messiah at the helm in Alastair Clarkson.

One thing they are missing is the draft capital, after selling their 2025 first-round pick to Richmond for Matt Whitlock.

But, like Collingwood who landed Dan Houston without a first-round selection, it can be done with some creativity.

Combining Jackson with Harry Sheezel, George Wardlaw, Luke Davies-Uniacke (pending he stays), Jy Simpkin and Cam Zurhaar is the stuff of dreams.

And assisting Tristan Xerri in the ruck and bridging the next wave of talls is another consideration the Kangaroos will make.
