Was a good contributor today which is great news for Jack and us.

His smarts have never been questioned - what we need to know is where can he play and keep contributing at AFL level.

I would still like him to play 6-8 games at VFL level - when that resumes - and see what he can do as a pure mid. I think he could really excel there but he needs to be given the chance to show his worth as a mid.

Kept the play alive a number of times today to create chances out of nothing and constantly puts his body on the line too.

Love this kid.

Very good game, Jack.

The LDU goal.
The TT goal (banana).

Has elite footy brain speed & execution.

The LDU goal.
The TT goal.

The LDU one was good because he didn't handball out of the scrimmage to LDU, he handballed to Hall (the longer option) to give LDU more time to get a head of steam up

I thought for all money it was going to LDU but it shows Jack has genuine footy smarts as well as a good dose of toughness

Well I had him forked earlier in the year. But the last month he’s proved that he’s very much for the future, he needs to be paired with someone with a bit of toe, but I’m well surprised and delighted for him because he’s an absolute work horse.

Did he kick a bag did he?

Luckily, you kicked 10 yourself this weekend, have a smoking hot Mrs, huge house and can wake up late to get to your million dollar job tomorrow.

Such critique from a lesser human would just sound rubbish.

How did you know?

If you shoot as early and badly with the missus as you do around here, then I hope for your sake you have a pre-nup in place.

Your Mrs tells me most things that go on at yours.... I said she was smoking hot, not loyal.

Seriously though, I like your posting and banter mate, but as others have mentioned, it's OK to take the loss tonight.

Rising star nomination?

 

[hundini]

You have no concept of junior player development whatsoever.

Sending you to scout an NAB match would be a complete and utter waste of time.

Rising star nomination?

Don't think Thilthorpe has one, and last nights goal winning goal probably has it sewn up if thats the case.

Look it was a step in the right direction but definetly doesn’t change his limitations

What are his limitations in your eyes?

 

[Snake_Baker]

He'll struggle to be a ruckman.

 

[Jindrrk]

He's 19 FFS.

Yeh but you know if a player isn't Wayne Carey in his first half of season he is written off as a spud and all.

 

[The Nostradamus]

What are his limitations in your eyes?

Short, slow and can’t kick more than 30m

these physical and athletic limitations won’t change

 

[Psicosis]

He was excellent. If any of our 2020 draftees put together that game, it would be a jizfest. Some people should be capped on their posting.

Well done jack.

Embarrassing

Aha.............

Sam mitchell traits are clearly evident in Jacks game. I hope he gets some midfield time over the back end of this season and next. He ticks alot of boxes. If his quick brain and skills can make up for a slight lack of leg speed, he could be an absolute gun midfielder. LDU can do with time in the back line learning about defensive pressure and accountability. How to impact the game without the ball in hand. Jy sympkin can do with more time at half forward, and concentrate on his kicking and link up play. Both are good players, and both were very high draft picks. We need them to be better than good footballers

 

[shinboner spiggs]

He was brilliant but chill on the Sam Mitchell comparisons, the guy was a maestro for more than a decade.
