[Devil Fish]

All those guys were quicker at 22 than they were at 18.

what about Sam Wright and Patch Adams?

Does Devil Fish not rate Mahony?

The club does and will play all games for the remainder of the season unless he gets a two week injury then we'll see him in 2025

I know injuries and all, but well done to Jack to keep his spot in the team despite his age and inexperience.

Youngest bloke in the league, only a short fella and looks set to play the majority of his first season in the AFL side. Hasn’t looked overawed or out of place either. It’s a massive effort and should be commended.

Suspect his ability to play a decent amount of TOG has helped him stay in the team. Could become a home grown Papley type.

I see him developing more as an inside mid in the long term. Would be very happy with either outcome.

I don't really see a player of his size around the AFL playing as an inside mid; Caleb Daniels, Dahlhuis, Myers, Brent Daniels - yes, but inside mid? unlikely

Lachie Neale, Dayne Zorko, Dion Prestia and Matt Rowell go ok. He just needs to put on some size. Given his age, you’d reckon he could.

Fair point; as you say, he's in the same range for height as Lachie Neale, but Jack will do well to put on the next 15 kgs

I've been thinking this too - i hope it's on the money.

That'll help him sticking those missed tackles.

I did larf I must admit

Tough little bugger. Gets smashed, goes off ground, comes back on and first contest runs in Straight line at ball.

 

[SMaturin]

Bred tough.

 

[Devington]

Was obvious up until now that he was a competitor with neat skills and quick smarts. Didn't know he was such a hard nut though. Bloody good showing after coming back on after the tackle.

Better understanding of why he was playing as an inside mid before he was drafted, and while I'm still concerned about his height and speed there are a lot of smaller mids in the upper echelons these days.

 

[LB2Snake]

Takes small step toward patch level....significant but still small step. Like it.

 

[muttley45]

Nice hospital pass from Higgins to set him up for Levi

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

A few posters have been negative on him - too small, too slow blah, blah, blah - the smart posters have been with Jack since his first touch at senior level and tonite is just another reason to get in behind the guy.

I was a little sceptical, think he still seems too small without speed, but ya gotta love his footy smarts.

 

[Horizons_00]

Tough little bugger!

A lot to like about this kid.
