They increased his running or block of to try and get him anywhere near a game in the VFL but my inkling is the loss on the weekend to * spelt curtains for our finals chances and thus we put Ben on ice too (NPI).If he doesnt play VFL in the next fortnight his year is over

Ben Jacobs is an out and out superstar. By far the most underrated player in the AFL period.
The man has so many A grade midfielder scalps it would make a Pawnee warrior blush.
He needs to be given every opportunity to get better. At 27 he still in his prime and could play another 5 years.
There is no doubt we are a far better team with him playing. He’s a walk up start to the first 18 and I Can’t wait for him to return next year.

He was a super important part of our midfield particularly in the recent BS era - that's the Before Shaw eraHe's one of the best taggers going around but a superstar? Seriously?

Agree that superstar is generous.Sure. Still not a star let alone superstar.

I did say he's the AFL's most underrated player.He's one of the best taggers going around but a superstar? Seriously?

What would you call a guy who, week after week goes out destroys the oppositions best onballer and get 20 touches himself?
Admittedly being the best shut down guy in the league is not as glamours some other positions in the game.
However, when he plays we are at least 4 goals a game better team. Just look at the last time he Richmond, Dusty Martin was so frustrated having been completely shut down by Ben they had to move him to the forward just to get a touch.

I'd call him a good player.
I'd call him an absent player.

If he doesn't get on the ground for a solid run of uninterrupted games in 2020, and finish the season in fit condition, then's it's over for him.
If he's injured next season I think he'll pull the pin.
