Kicked two, and had direct assists in four others. Most effective game. Imagine this guy and Joey D together next season
Stringer lashed out at the players’ bench in frustration during the third term of the loss last weekend after suffering a lower leg injury, but Crow confirmed there were no lasting concerns for the versatile Bomber.
“Jake took that knock to the shin in the area where he’s previously broken his leg. Fortunately, there’s no major issue there,” he said.
“He also trained today and we expect him to be available.”
And for what we gave up for him, he practically fell off the back of a truck.I've said it multiple times, and I'll probably say it a dozen more times over his career with us, but I still can't believe we have him.
Couldn’t agree more. The so called experts constantly under rated his year too.His two main successes have been his team orientation which is top class and his ability to stop the opposition marking high balls in the forward 50 - His stats massively under-rate his performance.
Seems like a pretty reasonable theory.Cleary he isn't a ruck, or a relief ruck but i'm only just starting to understand the brilliance of playing him there.
Earlier in the season, when we played him at the stoppage he would always get caught in traffic or get caught by his man, As a midfielder, you have the game within the game, you have your opposite midfielder watching you, trying to curtail you as well as getting the ball.
I reckon when he's in the ruck, he's able to find a bit more space when the ball his the deck, the other mids are pre occupied with their own men, the other ruckman has just contested the hitout and more often then not is a bit taller and less mobile anyway - so jake sometime gets the little bit more time before anyone comes to get him when he gets he ball
just my theory anyway
