[the big lebowski]

How did he find that space in the forward 50 today? Crafty little fella.

There is a lot of space out there today

 

[shinboner magic]

Was it Jack that went flying out through the air at back of the square that led to an easy goal

Edit that was atley that cut off the attack.

Anyway Jack is going well - like that he’s got some uncontested footy in the first half.

 

[hotchilli]

It's crazy the ability to find a negative in Mahoney going back and slotting the goal.

 

[the flying ham]

He barley made the distance with the long run up

When. It. Is. His. Turn. He. Goes.

You cannot ask for more

It was still a goal so it's irrelevant

No ones ever questioned that

You didn't even want him dropped this week. He's finally won you over

 

[Lomas]

Was good again today. Would have had a few more scoring involvements if others hadn't stuffed up.
Hard as a cat's head, with some great awareness too.

 

[dollarscost]

Hope he's not too badly hurt, was good again today and will continue to get better

Continuing to pump games into him at such a young age (still only 19!) will only help his development

I love what Jack's done this year but I wouldn't push him through this. It's the perfect opportunity for Ford to come in.

Agreed he’s shown his value

Yeah good call. Take a week or two and give a game to elvis

Yep, Jack has had a good year and deserves the chance to heal properly, a player that goes in hard like that doesn't need to play carefully or with fear of exacerbating the injury.

Time for Eddie to get a run, or even Atu to see a full game.

tells the whole story. if you want north melbourne to be a side other teams dread matching up on that pressures them relentlessly, you want this man out there in the blue and white

follows up his 25 pressure acts from the week before.
mahony showing whats up!

 

[King Corey]

I don't get where any perception of him being a one trick pressure act pony comes from. His ball use is at least good and usually done very quickly and to advantage.

The only consistent knock I can understand is the comments about pace. His testing results might say otherwise but in games he doesn't have that first few explosive steps to break away from or close down an opponent.

He's still a promising young player who is more than doing his bit but the pace is the only frequent criticism of him that holds any water imo.

I thought he was buzzing around pretty quickly against Essendon tbh.

Interesting. A few people have commented they think he looks quick. I just don't see it in his game.

There was one play where he chased and pressured 3-5 different blokes, from our forward pocket all the way to our half back flank. I don't know whether it was just because he was running with intent while others were half arseing it, but he looked pretty quick and I thought a play or two like that per game and it explains the GPS tracker numbers.

 

[muttley45]

Get your shoulder fixed Jack, either rest or surgery whichever is recommended, at least 2 more years of contract to go, well played this year.

 

[hundini]

I wonder if it is because his role is asked to defend first, rather thsn all out attack. So he often runs to corral and run to front and centre positional spaces.

If allowed to be unaccountable, a player has more freedom to run and dash and turn on the afterburners. Yet those players won't have the ability to repeatedly cover the distances Jack does.
