Senior 30. Jack Ison

[Worm4]

Solid debut and contributed to expectations

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

We'll look back and laugh that nobody bid on him til the late 40s. Was easily a top 20 talent on what he showed late last year.

192 cm mid/fwd with elite kicking and high footy IQ.

What a steal.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Like he’s been doing in the two’s, should have bagged 3 last night.
Great effort

 

[bradfisher14]

A couple of preseasons and midfield time. Think he’s gonna be a special player for us.

 

[sparkybagger]

Between the pre-game and in-game performances, this kid was the tonic many supporters needed (yours truly included). Well done, lad.

 

[T2B_]

Don't wanna put too much expectation on the kid, but I definitely feel he has the potential to make us forget about the previous #30 quite quickly.

Has a wonderful toolset.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Honestly felt like the players were looking for him a bit… They know how good he is, they trust him and want to get the ball to him.

Doesn’t fear anything out there. Absolute gun.

…and our former List Manager who you love to hate made sure that we had the draft collateral to match for him from late first round on after paying a king’s ransom for Dean. Thanks SOC

A trained circus monkey could have secured Ison at pick 47 when he's tied to the club via NGA... Not exactly a difficult proposition.

So he was a steal at 47, but it wasn’t good business to be prepared to match late in the first round? OK!

Do you remember the future picks we acquired along the way by assisting other teams when we had the opportunity?

When you've just lost Dekoning, Silvagni and Curnow I hardly think it's a credit to the list manager that we had the draft capital to possibly match a bid late in the first round.

But yes, he was a steal at 47. And this discussion belongs in the Austin thread not the J.Ison one.

 

[Sector 7G]

Just wait till JI feels like he belongs at the Level. With his confidence it won’t be 50 games more like 5

How good is this

Can't even remember the previous incumbent. Saw a bloke that looks a bit like him playing for the Swans the other night. Wasn't much chop.

[bluebaggerjuls]

This young man is a special talent!

 

[BigFrizz36]

Be interesting to see what he ends up as in time. All of the weapons are there. Could be a Bailey Humprey like hybrid forward. He looks a lot like a slightly shorter Cripps and could easily be a rampaging mid.

One thing is for sure, he's a lovely kick and looks a good decision maker. That's half the battle won already.

I just asked chat GPT who will win the nab rising star nomination this week. And it’s him.

Who did the jumper presentation? I missed it.

Probably a better way of doing it than letting the likes of Kane Cornes make the decision.

Pretty sure they changed to rules so Nick Daico can win it again.

Pretty sure they changed to rules so Nick Daico can win it again.

And Peter still won’t be happy…

 

[outabounds]

OMG, he put a smile on my face on Saturday , from the Dance to the goal, to the beautiful left foot and the clean pick up. I know this is a massive call but i almost see more upside in this kid over Jagga. Early days but boy oh boy, he is a classy player.
