Past #5: Ben Jacobs - delisted after 64 NM games/10 NM goals - thanks Benny

[roos_fanatic08]

16 touches and 4 tackles to Fyfe's 21 and 1 goal.


i'd take that considering how good Fyfe has been this season.

All the good judges knew he would be a player when given an extended opportunity

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Fyfe with 16 possies and 3 clearances less than the last time we played.

I'd call that a win for my man!

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I was a neutral regarding him so I won't take the credit that belongs to the right people.

Kudos to BJ for really knuckling down and turning his fortunes around. I had serious doubts but am so happy to see him giving it to the best in the competition

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Fyfe had a 7 possession second half btw...

Jacobs has become very reliable.

Btw which North player ripped Fyfe's jumper after the Jacobs hit ??

It was good to see someone "fly the flag"

Keeping 'em quiet and averaging 17 disposals 4 and a bit tackles.

 

[muttley45]

Well played again Benny, another quality opponent kept well below his average output, growing in the role, and in confidence week by week

Was either LMac or JMac I think. JMac been very good at flying the flag this year.

A lot of silence from the Port flogs regarding Benny J lately.

They're too busy planning September holidays!

The JMac machine does his business well now.

 

[Black2Blue]

It's been said before, but it's a joy watching his tackling. Great technique, getting up there with Spitta.

L mac I'm pretty sure.

So ... try to sit him on Stringer next?

Bont, macrae, wallis.

Damnit, wanted to delete it. Forget Stringer's the tall bloke.

Medium dangerous forward, firrito must go to him. Thompson on crameri, Tarrant red path, Hansen to resting ruck.

 

[kangaspurs]

Seeing as though the Dogs get all their run and drive from half back and thats where they generate most of their scores, I wonder if it would be worth having Jacobs play a defensive role on one of those guys. Someone like Murphy.

Otherwise I guess you send him to someone like Dahlhaus or Macrae.

 

[Engimal]

I used to hate Jacobs. Just seemed to * everything up, but he's been great recently.

 

[shintemaster]

I might be imagining it but sometime in the last 5-6 weeks I think teammates have finally got confidence in him and will use him on the inside or as a release. I might be imagining it but I don't think so, last year even when playing well as a defender I reckon he was overlooked as an option even when the best one.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Jacobs has become very reliable.

Yes, he's in my good books. And that presser he did after last week was bloody brilliant. His great answers even inspired the interviewers to ask good questions. He's a real talent off-field as well as on.

Or "the Bont"?
