Make Room for Me: Luke Jackson Keen on Origin Mid Role
Jackson has trained all summer as an inside midfielder to boost Fremantle's lineup and aims to challenge Victoria's top players in the State of Origin, Feb 14.
- Luke Jackson has spent the summer training as a midfielder and will feature for Western Australia in the February 14 State of Origin clash with Victoria in Perth.
- Mason Cox's addition created selection flexibility at Fremantle, leaving three qualified ruck options—Cox, Jackson and Sean Darcy—and prompting Jackson's inside-midfield ambition after last year's experiments.
- Training with Serong has been central to Jackson's development, with Jackson saying, `Playing as an inside mid with 'Swag', he gets his hand on it a lot. I'm just building chemistry with that every week`.
- Facing Victoria's stars will give Luke Jackson a high-level test and chance to learn, with Darcy Cameron also selected for WA, Jackson said it `will only help my game.`
- Longer term, the move positions Jackson to change match structures at Fremantle Football Club, as playing him inside mid allows selecting all three big men weekly.
