FMD, there’s some hard markers around.

19 year old kid gets 14 possessions and is no good?

Had a horrid run of things go against him in the 2nd quarter, but did NOT hide. He gets several more chances from me.

There’s a lot of clueless numbskulls around who just like to keep there post counts up and have nothing worthwhile to say.

Let’s judge him after 50 games and when the side has gelled to the point where those 45 degree kicks pay off.

Motlop must have been scared of his own shadow....front running, down hill skier that makes me wish we still had Byron Pickett.

 

[Ischenko]

Why do you always bag a player then at the end say I like him.

We are here to win games, not to be liked.

He thinks it allows him to mouth off and make his s**t calls and he can’t be called out when revealed as wrong because he “likes them.” It’s a tactic this is extremely transparent and doesn’t work unfortunately. Mahony is a gem.

He’s a midget who has no pace

and his decision making today was horrid

turned the game ports way in the second and we couldn’t recover

Yes hes young and he works hard but you still need to be able to execute basic kicks under no pressure.

The one in 2nd quarter he butchered, the ball sling shot that quick for a goal the other way it was lightning.

42% DE today but averaged 70% last year.

Had a bad game, mostly in terms of skill execution, but at this stage I'm not worried about that at all especially after an interrupted pre-season (iirc didn't play either pre-season game?)

 

[Jindrrk]

I see this guy more as a midfielder.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Some guys in here act like they've never made a mistake. It's a joke. I would like to see how these heroes go about their everyday lives the way they judge this 19-year-old.

 

[Devington]

I see this guy more as a midfielder.

iirc he was actually an inside mid growing up.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Not a forward crumber due to lack of zip

Not agile enough to make up for his lack of size to play through the middle.

Conundrum.

 

[Silver finger]

I like Mohony. Other inpatient farmers should shut up and watch horses to make themselves calm down.

 

[Val Keating]

Forward pocket imo. Had no business lining up in the wing. Back pocket could be good for him, McMahon style

 

[Zondor]

He’s Crafty. :stern look

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Same same.

Motlop hit that speed celebrating only.

Jeepers has some wheels Bonar. As quick as The Fox and the boy Ryan that play that bum sniffing game in Purple

 

[the big lebowski]

Wasn’t great and I’m doubtful long term.

But, his disposal is normally not an issue so I’m going to put today down to round 1 plus some incorrect options.

I am surprised his top pace was that high, and also that Noble has repeatedly referred to him as having pace. I’m yet to see it in a game.

It was the one mistake that I thought this guy wouldn't make - yet it was a howler of an error.

He has missed a bit of pre season and wing is never going to be his position - he certainly deserves many more chances but when you are small and slow you simply have to be elite in decision making and execution - today young Jack was anything but that.

 

[Themanbun]

He may look 40, but people need to remember this bloke is 19. He's basically the same age as our 2020 draftees. He's two months older than Phoenix Spicer.

 

[Billy Not Really]

I appreciate the work rate, from a kid who's in the thick of it running the longest out there and trying to make things happen at these early junctures those bad disposals can be forgiven.

Its whether or not he can grow into a great footballer from these experiences is the question, and for a bloke his size, that comes down to sheer hard work and it appears he does work hard to get involved.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Same same.

Yep unfortunately hrovat is a very apt comparison

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Had some bad moments, no doubt. But I think he's worth persisting with. Has a football brain unlike some others.

PS - Zurhaar ran the wrong way, Jack was never going to get that distance in his kick at full tilt.

 

[Shinboner1]

Happy with his progress.
Just needs consistent games and a run without injuries.
Obviously turned over the ball a lot in todays game but also went hard and did some good things.
Nobodys perfect in their first 20 games.
