I doubt the likes of Heppell/Myers will keep the same numbers up. They will get less oppurtunity to play in the guts when Watson is back. Heppell may drop from av 30 to av 27.
He's actually averaged less than when Jobe was in the side. His contested possessions have gone up though.

Understated game... blink and you missed it.. but he is going to have a massive role to play if we make finals..

A lazy 30 touches and a goal after an 8 week break.. 98 DT points.

The bloke is a champion!!!

What a leader of our football club...one of the best captains in our recent history - needs a premiership to cap his tenure off!!

That first goal was epic!

I found this video and thought I'd post it in here. A young Jobe and his father hosting a weekly footy series back in the mid 90's.
(mods, sorry if this is the wrong place as I could not find another video thread)

At 10:39: "Oh well he's...one of the Aborigines and he looks to be a great player." Jobe has always been a great media performer.
