Past #5: Ben Jacobs - delisted after 64 NM games/10 NM goals - thanks Benny

Good on ya BJ. Hopefully you find your way back to north one day.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Heartening to see him in decent health.

 

[B4Bear]

Nice to see he has landed on his feet.

Yep, he wouldn’t be able to take on this role if still suffering his back issues. Very happy for him.

 

[king of the road]

The perfect type of player we need in our midfield now. Defensive, but skillful and a great leader. Perfect age bracket. Such a missed opportunity.

5. Benny Jacobs - harder than ***
. Persistent concussion sypmptoms
. Kept on trying

 

[BigRedRoo]

In the 2016 season we won the first 9 games, then Ben when out of the side for the rest of the season with a foot issue and we went into terminal decline.
His ability to blanket the oppositions best midfielder and still pick up a respectable number of disposals was unrivalled.
Doesn't get anywhere near the recognition he deserves.

Glad that he's still in the industry, sad that it's with Scotts and that mob.

Spewing he isn’t with us

 

[AnEmptyChair]

on one hand, it's so great to see Benny thriving and making a living out of the game he clearly loves despite his health history. You genuinely love to see it.

on the other, too bad it's with those campaigners

 

[The Nostradamus]

Glad that he's still in the industry, sad that it's with Scotts and that mob.

Hopefully Scott wants his coaches pet Macmillan too

Now, here's a bloke who knew how to chase and never give up

Off you go ***

That elimination final against Richmond!!!!
‘Has anybody seen Trent Cotchin?’

Saw a post doing the rounds on socials asking who is the best tagger ever. And BJ was one of the options.

Shows just how good he was for that period of time as a tagger to be in that conversation.

He was no doubt the best tagger we have ever seen. Not only that but started to impact games with 20+ possessions with tackles, as well as completely shut out the oppositions best player.

Absolute star imo. Such a shame in how it ended

Did I see him on the bench for *?. assistant coach with Brad ?

Sadly for so many reasons

 

[SimpinForSimpkin]

Him and Rawlings. Two of the best taggers in the comp in their prime

 

[Luke72]

Yes.
