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

[giantroo]

Done for the year.

 

[boneofshin]

The right and obvious decision. Indicates that he's almost guaranteed to get another year too.

 

[Power Raid]

fingers crossed he returns fit, healthy and firing!

 

[Only Forwards]

I fear that we've seen him at the level the last time.

 

[Hojuman]

Done for the year.

Love you G.R. but we really need a " don't like " button for some of your posts.
Informative but depressing.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Give him a single year contract.

 

[Horizons_00]

So Jacobs went in for a final medical to see whether he can get his body right for footy again

If there is any footy gods please make his body right for 2018

When?

 

[Jack Bradley]

Get your forks out boys - he is cooked e

 

[Horizons_00]

When?

I think they said today or yesterday

On triple M (Adelaide radio)

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Poor bastard. Despite the dim-witted opinions of a few on here, the guy has proven time and again that he is pretty handy as a footballer and would be a perfect addition to our starting mid-field next year...

 

[naturally north]

I believe we are weighing up both Jacobs and Wright.

 

[Gasometer]

Devastating for both if gone.

 

[Horizons_00]

Absolutely

When Jacobs came back he got over 40 possessions and absolutely dominated in the VFL

Fingers crossed. Could be the end

Very. Getting old and retiring is one thing but forced out by injury when in your prime is a sad ending. If only both can recover...

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Just our luck.

We find a bloke who can blanket the best in the business.

Forced to retire.

Makes me sadder thinking of Patch.....and then JW....

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

[gigantor77]

Ankles and foot injuries.
They have been our curse.
Norths decline in 2016 coincided with losing Jacobs.
We dont have patent pending injury recovery technology for anything below the shin.

Devastating if either are gone tbh.

I will be genuinely gutted if we never see Benny in a North jumper again. His journey from perennial whipping boy to key player respected industry wide is one of the better North stories of the last 5-10 years imo.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Give him a 1 year deal

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Sad if the glove did fit but has to quit.

People should remember we made prelims with 2 taggers in finals, one inside and the maligned Gibbo, outside.

Gets gastro, goes to hospital and still grinds an opposition captain to 9 possessions in a final.

I forgot he had gastro before that. Makes it all the more hilarious

One of the best taggers we have ever seen

Did it without the bullshit tactics as well.

Shat all over Cotchin.
