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

[Kimbo]

He will be crucial to our finals campaign imo. Restricting the influence of one key player in September could be the difference between winning and losing.

Love seeing how relaxed and confident he is these days compared to when he first arrived. Maturing as a person, feeling comfortable at Arden St and confident in what he brings.

Credit to Benny, has single handedly put close tagging back in vogue again after losing it's popularity for a while.

The Bulldogs cashing in by changing their nickname from The Scraggers to The Taggers, including a full merchandise line, imminent.

I reckon they will have their name changed for them. And it will be "contested possession Kings". Wonder how long it will take for David King and Co to realise that it IS possible to be plus 20 contested possessions and lose the game.

I was just reading the tagging jobs Ben has done on numerous star players gees does he do such a job& will be handy to have him back no doubt.

After I seen this vid....I was thinking the same, but read through the posts after and read yours. Good call. He believes he is in the best 22 now, not hopes.

Just became our most important player and didn't even play the game

 

[kangaspurs]

Can someone please donate their foot so he can play next week. * he's crucial. It's almost at the point where it feels like we can't win it if he's not fit and in top form come September. Imagine if someone had have said that a couple of seasons ago.

55 more sleeps before he returns.

 

[Mr north man]

55 more sleeps before he returns.

Make that 62 or 69 sleeps will need at least 1 to 2 VFL games to get his mojo back for the finals

 

[Heaps of fun]

 

[naturally north]

Was close to being finished oh so close what a rebirth. As others have said need him back.

 

[brickstobricks]

The thought of being needed could drive him to setting greater standards, on return. Fingers, this will be true.

 

[Gasometer]

In answer to OP,he is a port adelaide spud about to become a north melbourne potential star

You're a ******* Nostra Mutts! LOL!

 

[Deddy]

It's true... You don't know what you've got till its gone

 

[tazaa]

I cannot believe from September 2014 to June 2016 he has become one of our most important players.
Swallow, Cunnington and Ziebell wouldnt be the players they were if not for him.

Just get him fit and healthy.

[jclei]

1 game in the VFL and then back to tag Hannebery next week please

What happened to Benny? Noticed he wasn't named in the VFL squad on Sunday. Surely he didn't need resting after one game back last week or is he injured again!!?

He pulled up a bit sore after his first VFL game back and the medicos erred on the side of caution and suggested he rest a week. Herein lies the problem with foot injuries.........they can be difficult to fully overcome with the clock ticking. Hoping to hear he feels great and the week off did him wonders.
