Past #3: Jed Anderson - delisted end '22 - 89 NMFC games - go well Jed

[ferball]

I was always one.

At the family day last year, before he was famous, I sought him out and told him I thought he'd do all right if he stuck at it. He was off to the side with the younger players near the colouring tents. My daughter was calling him "Deadly Jedly" and he was rapt. This year he was the centre of attention.

If you look at how he played before last year he'd often (well "often" by the standards of his involvement) get involved in contests that we won and scored from, also - he was tough. As we all know now. I thought if he got a good run at it he'd be an asset to the side. I didn't expect him to be such a wrecking ball tho. He's not that big.

Hopefully he can shore up our midfield set up a bit more. Very keen to see him through his weight around.

Me too. I'm sure there were more than 3.

I never jumped off

Let's proclaim ourselves "good football judges."

 

[Horizons_00]

He will make a huge difference tonight

 

[roos_fanatic08]

19 disposals, 7 clearances, 13 contested posessions, 6 tackles. Absolute Battering Ram.

Without Jacobs in the side he is our barometer.

 

[Silver finger]

He proves North really needs Jed and he is a star for the future.
If he plays from R1, we would have different scenario this year.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Yeah absolute barometer. Psychotic attack on the man and the footy. He is unconditional

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Has been missed something chronic.

Welcome back.

 

[Scottroo]

Fearless.

Quickly becoming our barometer

 

[kangaspurs]

An argument could genuinely be made that both he and BJ are in our 5 most important players. Completely changes the nature of our midfield and makes us a much harder team to play against, which is really important. I love him so much.

 

[sruss]

I want him as captain

 

[ferball]

Something something something barometer!!!!

The opposition know they don'thave time or comfort when he's in the middle. That's how great he is (and how badly we need more pressure in there.)

[muttley45]

Welcome back Jed, you have been missed (heaps)

 

[kangaspurs]

Yeah, completely agree. We get annihilated when we lose the clearances, but at least with Jed in there they’re rarely clean exits, which helps the defenders a lot as well. ferball lol forgot to quote your post.

 

[koshari]

Showed tonight why he was missed so much. As ivan drago once said. " hes like a piece of iron". His tackling is absolutely ferocious.

 

[DEVO]

I reckon this guy learnt how to tackle from Gilmeister or Robinson or Thaiday. He hits harder than anyone I've seen outside of the NRL or NFL.

 

[bhoysdontcry67]

Our most important player.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

He laid one tackle across half back in the third quarter while lying on the ground. Has amazing arm and shoulder strength.

 

[giantroo]

Can I kiss you Jed! Welcome back ya GUN!

 

[Hojuman]

Can I kiss you Jed! Welcome back ya GUN!

Yes, yes you may.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Jed-gendary.

He's a key part of this team now, a startling turnaround from 12 months ago. When he plays, we go harder and there's nobody who tackles better than him.
