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

[Gasometer]

In a team that's 0 and 4, and getting carved up by opposition star mids?

I absolutely do.

Yep since his injury it's been back to don't tag at North.

Meanwhile...these run amok...

Danger
Selwood
Sloane
Mitchell
Bont
Kelly

...so far in 2017.

Next we have Fyfe.

Ffs.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Jacobs plays against Geelong and Bulldogs and slightly quells the influence of Selwood and Dahlhaus and we win both games. While it might take a while for him to get his confidence and full fitness back there is 100% a spot for him. Especially considering how unaccountable our side is.

I'd have him in the side 100% of the time before McMillan who is a front runner
That can't tackle

 

[Jindrrk]

Eh. Jacobs will be back in and tagging when he's ready. I have no doubt about that

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

As he has always been despite his injuries, best 22 when fit. We seem to have an all or nothing approach to clearances. Jacobs massively tips the battle in our favour.

 

[Gasometer]

So 2 weeks?

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

The blanket is back. Richmond game is five weeks away, few VFL games to warm up for his bunny.

 

[kangaspurs]

It might be a minority opinion, but I think we desperately need him.

Can't wait for him to be back and play his way to a contract extension.

Should be the majority opinion.

Guess who's back in training and only a couple of weeks from a return? #BeAShinboner #NMFC

Dan Hanneberry is right now rifling through a drawer for a 2017 fixture.

 

[Shinboner roo]

The blanket is back. Richmond game is five weeks away, few VFL games to warm up for his bunny.

Hopefully the blanket will be ready for his favorite mr joel. hahahaha gets me every time.

 

[Benj7]

He looks fit asf, defiantly lost some weight ! Gets a gig whenever is fit and ready! Best tagger in the game by far

 

[shintemaster]

Thread bounced to top of page with same headline. Felt sick. Now happier. Looks in ripping nick so fingers crossed that foot holds up. Will make us better. No doubt about it.

 

[Harris 10]

It will be great for us if he can play 8 to 10 games this year and then get a full pre season under his belt ready for 2018.

 

[jclei]

Still only 25. Plenty of time to get back to playing solid football. Fingers crossed we get him back fit and firing.

We all talk about wanting to see huge games from our guys in the VFL so they can knock the door down. Remember that string of games in the VFL where Benny was averaging 35 possessions? He made his own luck to get into our side. He will do it again if fit

 

[archereleven]

It will be great for if he can play 8 to 10 games this year and then get a full pre season under his belt ready for 2018.

Yep looking forward to our midfield group looking something like this when healthy:

Kelly, Cunnington, Ahern, Ziebell, Jacobs, Dumont, Clarke, Higgins, Simpkin etc

 

[Horizons_00]

I absolutely rate Jacobs. He is crucial to the success of our club going forward

No one comes close to how good he is of a shutdown/tagger. He started to get way more possessions in the midfield

Can't wait to see him back out there!

 

[RooBoyz24]

Another Player that will help us and cant wait to see him back and as i will be back in Melb for the Tigers game get it done Benny.

 

[Gasometer]

Twinkletoes please fix up the Thread title.

Ninja is coming back...

 

[giantroo]

Can't wait for this to trend again #findtrent

 

[Gasometer]

Twinkletoes please fix up the Thread title.

Ninja is coming back...

That was quick.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Would be a massive inclusion if he can recapture his 2015 form.

 

[Jack Bradley]

Who comes out if jacobs comes back in?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Who comes out if jacobs comes back in?

Turner if his form drops.

 

[Jack Bradley]

Turner if his form drops.

Forward for an onballer?

Maybe Gibson?

I can only dream.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Forward for an onballer?

Maybe Gibson?

I can only dream.

We have a number of small and half forwards, structures can be reworked for an inside style mid and tagger. Gibson is more outside, not ideal for our purposes that an inside mid comes in for an outside one.
