Really nice game.

I was an unashamed Goldstein fan and Tristan will never have the skill and finesse of Todd with ball in hand.

BUT

Tristan is a big man who plays like a big man. With the odd exception most premiership rucks are guys who impose every cm and kg of their frame on contests. He's potentially that type.

Opposition mids will know he's around..

Ohhhhh yeh. They’ll hear their bones creak in the tackle. He’s a big strong boy.

Thank god we fought to keep him when StKilda came sniffing around offer a can of baked beans.

Its clear the big X has put in mountains of work on his strength and tank. Its funny he's moving established rucks off the ball the way they were doing to him only 2 seasons ago.
Imagine his future as he gets better at clunking more contested marks.

Phillips should play with the strapping around his noggin as well. The best game WilPhil has played was against the bombers or swans when he had a shiner on his forehead all taped up

Lots of really good stuff but Jackson was close to BOG.

Jackson isn’t rubbish but honestly, there’s a ruckman here, stick with him

Jackson is an out and out gun and will be one of the best players in the game over the next 5-10 years.

Just too athletic for X who did okay against a better athlete.
 
Jackson when given opportunity to solo ruck is just about unstoppable. Very talented and is why Freo paid so heavily for him.

Xerri matched him in the physical centre bounces but the umps didn't like it.
 
Has been very good first two weeks. Happy to be wrong
