We need to get Jed to 100 games. Caught up at lunch with my mate last week and asked him if Jed was playing. He said he was raring to go and actually wanted to be playing last week against Port. So no surprise he had a ripper of a game as I am sure he would have been pretty pissed not to have played last week. Definitely BOG for us.
As we were talking, I asked him about Jed's boys and how they go. His mum was a really good soccer player and obviously Jed's family have been involved in footy, so the sporting background was always a good start. He told me that in their age group, you can already see that they are a level above the other kids. He told me that the eldest son is very composed as a player but the young one is like a pitbull. He said the young one does not have any concern for his safety or his opponents. He doesn't care if you are twice as big as him, if the ball is in your area, he is going to win it. And he hates losing contests. He gets really angry when he does. This just had me thinking Glenn Archer vibes. In the end we wont know how they will turn out, but my word if the above is the case, I cant wait for Jed to hit 100 games for North as that at least puts us in the picture.
