Yeah, it's a bit of a backhanded compliment but, in your defence you rarely fail to entertain and give unimaginative posters like me something to work with.
BTW now that you've had a couple of nights sleep on the game, weren't those umpires awful an Saturday?
you are on a roll. Ferris cannot compete with this.
He will try though.

Finally being honest about how s**t the umpires were on Saturday. See, it was not that hard to let it out.

Jack's workrate yesterday was enormous, the play that really stood out for me wasn't his spoil that created Cripps last quarter goal but another passage in that same quarter where the Pies went backwards into our defensive 50, switched across the ground then came up the ground around the edge of the centre square, Jack followed the ball the whole way sprinting as hard as he could simply to apply some sort of token pressure despite knowing that he would never get the ball unless the Pies made a mistake.

He isn't really playing as a tall forward though. He is offering something completely different.

Pick 53, other notable pick 53s include Michael Braun (228 games, premiership), Adam selwood (187 games, premiership), Daniel Jackson (156 games, bnf), lindsay Thomas (212 games), Michael Walters (137 games) and funnily enough both Tom and Oscar Mcdonald were pick 53. Recently Richmond picked premiership player Jack Graham at 53. Recently its been more successful a pick but only 1 of the first 10 taken at the position ever played a game...
Jack's doing well.
You're right but he is taller than either McGovern and CCurnow.
It may just depend on whether we can afford carrying all the talls. If it works then fine and if not.....
Whichever way though, we will need to find some goal-kickers as we go. I don't see Jack as a goal-kicker in the way I see the others.
Harks, yes he's taller than McGovern and Curnow but shorter than Cripps and less than an inch taller than Setterfield. Do you, as many on here do, think that it's possible that he could play on the ball?

high half forward is his best position, but can literally play anywhere.

He’s just too slim atm...when he bulks up he can use that to advantage to outbody defenders ...ideally he can improve his burst off the mark too. Can become a very handy utility player.

Every time I see or read about Jack, I have to divorce the Jack I remember in the papers when he was a toddler and the Footy Record and Jack, the 4th year Blue.

As Jack has SOS' body shape and not Serge's, I don't think that thickening his body to the point of bulky is ideal.
Yeah, build it up but not to say Charlie's dimensions.
Looking at Jack, I'd prefer his body in the Weitering mould than the Charlie Curnow mould.
TLDR; More Weitering's body than Charlie's is ideal.

Final comment from this burst.
He's looking more and more like Jo when she was in $ale of the Century.

Great job on Fyfe in the second half today. Hopefully this is the start of him playing in the midfield most of the time. Maybe rotate him and Kennedy up forward.
We are a better side with JSOS in it.
Silvagni was good and Kennedy more than service able option up front, 2 goals in very tough game quite happy with his his contribution.
Let’s make no mistake it was the old timers, Thomas, Simmo and Murphy that’s was difference. But the team overall was well galvanized played honest hard footy. Teaugy has done well in difficult conditions.
I’m quietly optimistic against the Demons next week.

Loved hs game today.
Well done JSOS.
Well done JSOS.
Jack will become a tackling machine if allowed to play midfield permanently. He's going to make a very accomplished inside mid (who will do damage resting forward), PLEASE keep playing him there.
