Has put on size too,

From what Tom Browne said after the game a contract will be coming.
Adding the 000's right now!

Great game from Jimmy, such a versatile forward with that size and mobility. Because he and JD are so mobile, it allows us to play 3 tall forwards - this is what the media neglect to mention.

He's improved his ruckwork as well. There was one contest in either the second or third quarters and he was up against Jacobs and got one of those beautiful pure taps straight to one of our midfielders. I was pretty impressed. He's pretty useful around the ground as well. Not to mention there was the time where he left the ruck, sprinted to the forward line leaving Jacobs desperately running to try to catch up and took the grab and had a shot on goal (forgot if he kicked it or not) but its a nice advantage to have someone like that as our 2nd ruck.

I'm calling it early - will finish top 10 in this years B&F.

Super hands last night and that contest to set up fridge for the sealer was huge. Caught behind, somehow managed to work his way to the front without giving away a free. Deliberately brings it to his feet, gets possession and out muscles two defenders to give the quick hands - Goal! Loved it.
Pretty handy for an athletic third tall

Always loved him and said from the start he had the frame to bulk out. He's put on good size and still moving very well

Or we can play 2. Or 1. And Stringer adds another... string.

Hugely flexible forward line.
