He shat.

Then Walters slammed into JZ's back and quickly backed off as soon as JZ stood back up. That bloke enjoys the smell of his own farts, he over-celebrates that much.

 

[Digby Morrell]

To be fair it wasn't that brave..he saw it was Neale. Lachie probably sleeps with a finding nemo night light.

True but I don't think Jack would take a backwards step against anyone

True but I don't think Jack would take a backwards step against anyone

Jack was standing toe to toe with men when he first debuted in senior football as a 13 year old:

Tales of Ziebell's courage are far from new. From his first exposure to senior football aged 13 when playing for the Mitta Mountain Men in the Victorian highlands -- a region where the only shaving done is of wood chips -- Ziebell had something that set the bush telegraph alight.

In his first season at North Melbourne, a former coach in Jarrod Twitt relayed to The Weekend Australian an anecdote about a final in which Ziebell, then 16, was roughed up time and again by a league heavy when playing centre-half forward for Wodonga against Wangaratta.

"I don't know if you can put this in the paper, but this bloke from the Magpies, Jon Henry, got stuck right into him from the start of the game," Twitt said. "He has given Jack one in the gob and without hesitation, Jack, who would have been 16, has turned around and smacked him back in the gob and split him open."

That's one of the reasons why he's a great captain. Jack has unfairly copped some stick of late, mainly because he's got some injuries but more importantly, shouldn't be a full time mid.
Jack should spend a lot more time forward where he can use his strength to smash packs and make defenders nervous. Let him play CHF even for parts of games. His body is better suited to smashing through than deft side steps. He's generally a good mark and kick.
If we can get a gun mid and release Jack forward (and as a bit of a utility), then the Jack love will reign supreme again. And may he reign with an iron fist.
And boot!

[Mordecai]

This guy has found something extra this season. Bleeds for the jumper. Love him.

 

[ShiNoBi]

His average disoisal 25 + next year, if he plays as midfielder.
He's been so good this year. one of the most hopeful player in the future.

He needs a talking to

Gets better every week.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Gets better every week.

Very good, skipper material.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Number 11 has made him.
I reckon he shits himself if he doesn't go full on such is the respect for spud and arch.
Love his attitude when his tackled, it keeps going forward and they let go due to his core strength. Showing extremely good signs to guide the younger guys

 

[tazaa]

I would make him do core work all preseason.
He's going to be untackleable soon on his current trajectory.
That shimmy and burst is sex

 

[Flawed Genius]

Is going to end up hurting himself quite badly. Don't think he'd have it any other way.

That burst out of congestion on the far wing after bouncing off a few blokes was a lightbulb moment. Bloke can play.

 

[astrovic]

Got hurt in the second (?) quarter. Was unreal until then, solid afterwards and shot by the end.

Played like a 100% shinboner.

The attempted bump on Laverde? Might've rattled a few ribs around.

That might be it. Happened right beneath me. He was sore.

 

[Flawed Genius]

That might be it. Happened right beneath me. He was sore.

There was that one - he went off - then came back on and got another one on the opposite side of the ground.

Thought he was cooked, but he stuck around for another two quarters. Warrior. He'll be a sore boy tonight.

Hes making a mockery of those who thought he was a waste at pick 8.
