Should be used as a tagger - use his opponent as a starting point then let his athleticism take over.

Yeah like that role for him

overall he seems versatile - just need to pump games into him

 

[DunderHead]

Needs some continuity. One position in a string of games. He looks like he could run through walls. Just spent a lot of time second guessing himself and not looking comfortable last year.

If he is fit for the full season next year then he will look a different prospect at the end of the year.

Yep, this. Has the capability to be a good role player.

Run with on big mids that go forward imo.

Injured his calf. Looking at 4-6 weeks.

He just can't seem to get any sort of continuity.

 

[Snake_Baker]

******* calf injuries at 21.

The kid can't catch a break.

My gut feel is that he's head to head with another bloke who has had a shizen run (Kyron) for a spot.

Jack's fault.

Ziebell "We've had great availability this year, most blokes out on the track each session"

Universe "Hold my beer"

I feel like a 6 week injury at this time of the year is going to put him well down the pecking order.

 

[Rad Roo]

if ziebell is on the half back, then does that mean atley into the mid?

Deadset forgot this bloke was on the list.

Deadset forgot this bloke was on the list.

Unfortunately for someone so highly rated as a junior and with supposed X factor, he hasn’t shown much.

He has about 6 months to make some huge inroads and to find a set position or he’ll end up on the scrap heap.

Needs to find that “explosiveness” that made him a top ranked junior.

Bonar, Garner, Will Walker and Hall find themselves out of contract at years end and fighting one hell of a battle to be here in 2022.
You do not want to start the season out of the best 26 or so players with zero security. Josh Walker, Tyson, Kyron have all shown something, even Atley for the others with expiring contracts.

I for one am happy that we have got our contract dramas sorted. I reckon we will see 6 or 7 delistings at seasons end and another off season of high turnover.

 

[Snake_Baker]

They need to be mega conservative with him now.

 

[hilly]

I'm probably wrong but I reckon he was starting to show something when he got injured last season. Time will tell as Laidleys/Ayletts once said.

yeh he was showing good signs off hbf - would much rather his explosiveness there than ziebs back there

 

[DesertRoo]

Play him in the middle next to LDU, there’s a reason these two played together and both went top ten in their draft year.

Bon and Souva going all in

Hi Jack,
This is what it looks like to play as an undersized defender, and this is the style of pressure, we want to see all over the ground. make it happen.

Jack would maul Larkey.

That also looks like a pretty blatant free kick to me.

I see one against Larkey tbh.

To Bon?
Larkey pulled him down..
I’ve got faith in jack to turn it up ten notches very quickly. Intensity is key and getting rid of bad habits standing a couple of meters off your man, when they’ve got the ball.

Quite happy about this. Good to see Bonar show a bit of aggression and tenacity. He needs it to take his game to another level.

Good to see. But is this only recent footage? Doesn't seem to align with the injury update saying he is still 3-4 weeks away with a calf injury. Hopefully the injury update is wrong.
