This thread is to discuss Sam Jacobs.
It will be used throughout the season for everyone, and will be the home for his buddy poster.

Apparently hyperextended his knee playing for the Bullants reserves-see recent Grigg article on CFC website.
Hopefully it isn't too serious.

That is what the Swans are saying happened to Hall on teh weekend, and they think he'll only miss a week for precautionary reasons.

Yes, but don't forget that there are different degrees of the injury, as there are for most injuries.
Some will be more severe than others and will therefore require the player to spend more time on the sidelines than others.

Just read that it isn't too serious, maybe 1 or 2 weeks. :thumbsu:

Geez, he is a boy mountain :D
A lump of a lad :D
Hopefully he can lose some of his kiddy fat, and turn out to be a decent player. Will need to be very patient with him.

Yeah, quite interested to hear in his development this season from anyone who is in the know!
Will he make it or too far down the pecking order to have a chance?

Anybody know how Sam is going? It is his second year on the rookie list so either he has to be elevated or let go at season's end.
I would assume that due to the lack of information around, he may be looking for a new home?
Would love to hear from those who know.

I haven't seen him lately but from reports it seems he is improving not only his ruckwork but also his work around the ground.
At this stage I would say that he will be elevated at the end of the season. He shows promise and we are hardly in a position at the moment to get rid of a ruckman that shows promise.

I'd say it will come down to a choice between Aisake & Jacobs with jacobs getting the nod.

Thanks for the update. I coached Sam as a Junior here in Adelaide and really hope he makes it. He is a top person who worked hard to get where he is. Was never a star as a junior and when he rocked up to pre-season as a 15 year old people laughed.
I hope he makes it.

How big is this dude?
He's listed as 200cm and 100kegs on the AFL website, but I have a 2008 team poster and this guy is clearly shorter than Bower and Waite, and nowhere NEAR Hampson's size.
Is he legitimately 200cm? Is he sitting down in the team photo where the others are standing? Or have they photoshopped him in or something?

He is DEFINITELY bigger than Bower and Waite.
He's a man mountain who would be legitimately 200cm and 100kg, if not more. He must be sitting down or just a bad angle :confused:

Heh. What a strange little mystery. Maybe he's standing in a pothole. :confused:
I reckon they've photoshopped him in. I'm gonna take another look.

200+ would be right.

I watched the bullants game on the weekend & Jacobs really impressed me.
I have seen enough to be convinced he is a AFL ruckman in the making.
OK he hasn't got the speed Hampson has, but McIntosh & Hille are fairly slow.
His kicking skills when short passing were solid.
I'd be expecting Jacobs to be played regulary in next years pre-season cup.
