Past Kristian Jaksch

[HARKER]

Looking like a very smart decision acquiring Jaksch in our 3 for 1 deal already.

Clean below his knees, smart on a lead, great closing speed to effect the spoil, a good mark and a good kick.

Seems we may have two Hendersons after all.

Best pick up in years. More mobile than Henderson and likely to be even better. I'm seeing Dustin Fletcher MKII personally ; )

Bootsma was Dustin Fletcher MKII

This is Fletcher MKIII

 

[Lace_Out]

Bootsma was McLovin MKII...

Screw Fletcher, trippin' drug cheat.

 

[Atom Ant]

Good player, quick as well, hope he can be a elite player in a few years.

Hi guys,

Not seeing Jaksch getting any mentions for NBs and he doesn't appear on our injury list. What's happening with him? Is he improving?

 

[1981]

Needs bulk.

He's playing at the same level he has his entire career. We shouldn't be surprised.

Captain Positivity over here!

Captain Positivity over here!

He's got a point. After all, let's look at all the facts.

- 20 year old kid
- 3rd year at AFL level, 1st at a new club
- Injury interrupted preseason campaign
- Asked to punch above his weight in 3 of his 4 senior games due to lack of depth in defensive talls

Clearly if he hasn't established himself as a star by now, he never will. Delist at the end of the year. In fact, why even wait until the end of the year?

 

[gandaal]

Clearly we have two geniuses on our hands here.

He has performed this year at the same level of performance as he did at the Giants. That's just how it is.

As someone said earlier, the boy needs to get in the gym and put on some weight. If he was at Essendon he'd already be on the gear.

 

[HARKER]

The last couple of weeks have given me a little reason to doubt Jaksch.

His intensity isn't at a high level yet and he does seem to be holding something back......by nature or design?

He hasn't been bad, but just not yet knocking down the door for a senior call-up yet.......That can change pretty quick though.

 

[BM123]

Jaksch badly needs to hit the weights room and If I was him I'd be bulking heavily during my off-season break as well. Like Whiley I feel like Jaksch's poor preseason didn't help him out and MM was overly keen to play him on goliaths like Griffiths 1 on 1.

worked for Bootsma

Bootsma couldn't handle Grant either .

Only player I remember Bootsma doing well against was Jones.....

 

[Lace_Out]

KJ has plenty of time up his sleeve and even more talent. Will be a ripper.

Where do people see Jaksch playing forward or back?

Let's not forget we gave up Pick 7 to get him to our club so we really need him to establish himself in the team next year.

 

[BluesRule]

I like him as a swing man and still feel he will come good. Third tall down back, or CHF in 2016 IMO as he can run.

 

[Blue Razor]

Bulk him up play him as a ff/chf with casboult. Will be hendo replacement up forward. Wont need him down back unless injury

if we get Carlisle and Weitering there no room down back.

Good forwadline coach is essential for his development.

 

[I AM CARLTON]

Yeah I kind of hope Bolton can make him into a decent forward especially if we recruit Weitering with pick 1 as a key defender.

Having said that our whole spine is in need of repair I think Jamieson is now 29 so you suspect he only has a few more years in him at full back.

 

[LordLucifer]

Is good overhead plus a good kick for goal, should be played as the third marking forward.

He and Everitt 2 and 3 with Cas at 1. Those three are agile enough and could cause headaches with Walker and Menz floating around too...

Hope our forward structure gets a revamp and he's in there. Bloke needs muscle though! Don't leave the gym this PS!

 

[ShanDog]

I agree. Not sure his laconic style is really suited to defence. Has shown he can certainly leap at the ball aggressively in the air. Would love to see him as a forward predominatly.

 

[Magruder]

Needs to get a little stronger but not to the extent that it hurts mobility and agility.

have to agree with most posters. Should be played forward as part of a mobile fwd line.

Casboult, Jaksh, 1AW, Menzel, Andresj, etc all highly capable in the air
