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

Is that wat you call Dumont's playing....huh...well there you go.

C'mon Gaso, you remember your playing days as a creative midfielder .... its about getting the footy and getting it to your mate up the field ... this is Dumonts gig, a natural footballer who is being wasted trailing in behind some opposition creative type. Let the kid play football ... chasing and chasing and chasing and chasing is crap, and what he dished up. Not his fault, nor mine, not even yours, though the lovely Mrs.Gaso did raise an eyebrow :-D

Still looks in great nick. That foot holds up and look out. He has a massive build now.

 

[shniko11]

Can't wait till Jacobs is back we really have missed him.

Update? Still "2 weeks"?

Benny to JPK and Gibbo to Hanneberry on Sunday. Sydney not travelling well but blunt their drive from those two and it's game over.

Played on the Wing and nobody tagged me unless they were trying to pull off my Amco tag on my jeans which was a stupid 1970S fad.

Hmmmm

Drive definitely not blunted

Played VFL reserves yesterday. Will play VFL this week. So yes, probably 2 weeks from AFL.

It sounds right, but is that the official word from Kangatech? Groin guru?

He has a good pelvic tilt now. I am impressed with his muscle balance, and shouldn't have any soft tissue injuries hampering his comeback. It isn't the world's most advanced injury prevention/recovery platform for no reason. It's based on scientific research.

I always thought he had a biggish build for us. Almost to solid for today's game. I can understand that given his ankle injuries which probably resulted in "here's the gym, increase your upper body now!"

Looks more streamlined and in excellent condition. He is a terrific worker and by all accounts a student of the game. Very impressed with his attitude and work ethic given his injury history and potentially facing another scenario of football purgatory (end of a contract, will they offer another etc.).

Amco jeans...

Half a game in the VFL firsts, then a full game in the VFL firsts, then unleash him

Agree. But if our chance of finals is shot by then I wouldn't mind him coming in as a genuine mid, as in, he can run with a player but I want him given more license to win his own ball.

We already know he's a fantastic tagger, let's see if he can build on that.

Holy s**t! Is this the same Ben Jacobs? Is it me or has he come back to footy with some real flair and confidence?

Always thought he was underrated, just looked very creative in the footage.

 

[Groin guru]

Give that man a new contract! Welcome back Benny.

Agreed. He looks a different player.

Probably just a confidence thing. He knows he's too good for that level. When he first got to us he looked very timid and unsure of himself.

We saw what one dodgy ankle did to harper. Jacobs rocked up to arden street with two.
