Yes, he did.....and no, he didn't.
He was both a good pick up and a wasted pick.
He has both lots of potential and will fail to make the grade.
He should be in the side and he should be playing VFL.
I hope he his picked for Saturday and I also hope he is dropped....

Just a little tongue in cheek synthesis of the merry-go-round debate that this thread has become. Sorry to confuse even more. I am just as confused about his trade and value, going from glass half full to glass half empty to filling and emptying the Jed glass so often that I'm ready to head of to AA....Well that has just confused me even more. Maybe we could have a round about discussion on each point.
Firstly though, I need to know did he cost us a first rounder or not.
He has played 19 games
The kid can mark, kick and tackle give him some time

Put in better performances at Etihad than your avi at least.When he learns to kick, mark and not fall over I will say good pick up.
But right now all he deserves is Dud Delist.

........The Roos invested heavily at the trade table (pick 15) last year to acquire the former Hawthorn speedster who had struggled with injury.......
Not alone.So he did cost us pick 15.
So he did cost us pick 15.
He had a very ordinary Pre-season and shouldn't have been picked in the Round 1 team. I don't see the upside in this kid. He's not quick, poor skills, composure and can't go below his knees to pick up the football.Jed Anderson out to repay the faith for North Melbourne trade

JED Anderson has endured a frustrating first season at North Melbourne but Saturday night’s knockout final looms as his time to shine.
Anderson, 22, will run out against Adelaide for just his 10th game in Roos’ colours set on taking the first of many steps towards repaying the faith shown in him by the club.
The Roos invested heavily at the trade table (pick 15) last year to acquire the former Hawthorn speedster who had struggled with injury.
That wretched run continued this year as Anderson missed 13 games after shredding his hamstring early in the first round.
The injury compounded the pressure Anderson was under given the price North Melbourne paid for him.
“At the start of the season it really weighed on my mind a little bit, and then getting injured didn’t really help,” Anderson said.
“But I sat down with the club and they were really happy with how I’d gone over the pre-season and getting injured was (just) unfortunate.”
The past nine games have been more positive, but far from satisfactory, averaging just 10 disposals and three tackles a game.
“I’m really growing and trying to secure my spot in this team,” Anderson said.
“I think my game’s growing each week — I’ve taken the confidence the club (put in me) and want to give it back.”

Jed Anderson moved from Hawthorn to North Melbourne in exchange for pick 15. Picture: George Salpigtidis
Anderson has enjoyed learning from mentors Brent Harvey, Daniel Wells and Lindsay Thomas, who play similar roles.
“Wellsy’s composure around the ball — he’s in and out — and how Boomer gets going forward and really creates his opportunities to kick goals,” Anderson said.
“I’ve taken a bit of both of those and really using my speed and agility around the ball to do those things.”
Those attributes will be crucial if underdog North is to upset Adelaide and progress in the finals series.
“We want to really open space for us to work into and work back and forward and isolate our one-on-ones so that the Adelaide backline can’t come over and impact with their spares.”
The winner will play the loser of Saturday’s qualifying final between Sydney and Greater Western Sydney at the SCG or Spotless Stadium next week.

.I still think he'll be a gun. Watch him bloom next year.He had a very ordinary Pre-season and shouldn't have been picked in the Round 1 team. I don't see the upside in this kid. He's not quick, poor skills, composure and can't go below his knees to pick up the football.
. I bet we would think a first rounder might be a bargain. Either way, if he doesnt improve for the rest of the year, we need to give him at least an injury free pre season before judging him harshly. Look, it doesn't matter what pick you were, once you get to the club, you're all the same.
