Moved Thread #7: Jack Ziebell [Part I] © -

[blackshadow]

I think you guys are getting ahead of yourselves. Ziebell displayed his obvious talent. The one handed grab was good. He also got a welcome to AFL level. He was caught when taking on the opposition, gave away a couple of free kicks, (one for a goal), and he wasn't even the vest of the debutants! (That goes to Liam Anthony, who was very good. Over 20 possessions in 3 quarters (of 20 minutes each), and he won inside ball as well as getting it on the run.

Jack will prove to be an excellent draft choice, but don't expect miracles from the start!

How dare you go putting facts into the debate! That's just not the BF way!

Agree...Anthony did very well....as did Warren in patches

Ziebell looked more promising than Anthony.

Do you know when you watch footy and realise you have something special on your hands? only three since Carey departed.

Wells. Smith. Now Ziebell.

Ziebell's new nickname - Quote from Wikipedia......

The Z Machine.....LOVE IT!!

I have been reading some comments in threads about how good he's been training and his hardness at the footy.

I've never seen him play, but I work with a guy who coached him as a junior, and he rates him as the toughest junior footballer he's ever seen.

Now I know this may not mean much up against the big boys, but apparently he's got know fear and I recall his father as a country footballer (tough as nails), seems like it's rubbed off on the boy, Jack can handle himself too, certainly won't be intimidated by the step up.

If he's got his dad's hair trigger, we could be in for an interesting time.

That's pretty much my mail too. The Zs are great country stock, tough and ripping blokes.

 

[Suds_Mcduff]

Am really looking forward to watching Jack play AFL, reckon he will go pretty well and you guys have a more than handy footballer on your hands! good luck tonight

 

[Twinkletoes]

He was sensational in the Intra Club game a couple of weeks ago, and notable for two things: 1 - His poise and decision making, and 2 - His leadership skills, shouting out to players where they should be standing at stoppages etc, AND THEY WERE LISTENING! He didn't look at all like a 17yr old kid having his first run around with AFL players.

I can't wait for tonight!

What do you mean by 'hair trigger'?

 

[Twinkletoes]

What do you mean by 'hair trigger'?

Hot headed snappy temper, I assume jozeph..........unless Falkroo's actually wondering if Jack has his old man's missing hair follicle

T'toes

 

[Ghostwriter]

Thanks TT, I assumed that but why didn't the op just say he's got his old mans bad temper?

 

[Scottroo]

all aboard, cant wait til his first brownlow!

nah in all seriousness, a very good first up game, looks poised, courageous, good skills, great size...if he can continue to develop we look to have a genuine star here...wouldnt be suprised if in 5 years hes our best midfielder....actually after the midfields effort tonight hes probly already top 3

 

[Carnthe]

I'm onboard!

 

[market]

Excuse me for poking my 2 bobs worth in on your board. Thought he was terrific tonight, something the Roo-boys can get excited about.

Don't want to add to the hype too much, but I think you may have found a "ready-made" one there boys...

 

[Team Mo']

Don't the nicknames so far boys...

 

[festa1234]

very very impressive u have a good 1 there boys

 

[KangaMatt]

Loved his game. Showed he will have a long career ahead of him. He has skill, uses the ball well, but is hard at it as well which is something we really need. Hate getting to excited, but its hard not too!!!

 

[Blues_Man]

Looks like you have picked up a real beauty with Zeibel..he was a shining light for the Roos .
