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

[Horizons_00]

We should kept Mountford. Got Jacobs to be his mentor

 

[Rod Stroker]

Has to be the most baffling and mysterious condition in the history of the game. Incident occurred in round 11 2018 and they've been unable to resolve it since.

Feel for the bloke, imagine what he's gone through all this time, constant headaches, not feeling right.

Why has this post got me nervous?

The concern is nobody knows what is wrong with him, what caused the injury or how to treat it. If you managed to get your life back to a good condition after years of suffering, why would you risk that. I would be concerned for his safety if he ever took the field again and for the sake of his hopefully long life after football he and his family should seriously consider the risks. As much as we all loved Jacobs and how valuable he was for us as a player since becoming a tagger, his health and safety should be the number one consideration.

Saw him walking up Victoria Parade yesterday.

Was managing to stay upright.

Did we ever see any footage from that Lions game where the whiplash occured?

I was there that day and dont remember it at all.

Fair call. His health is more important than footy. He would be forever at risk.

At the game, I remember when he scored one of his two goals, I thought he got whacked hard and knocked to the ground, as he kicked the ball. It was a very dynamic/aggressive piece of play from both teams. I thought it might have happened then. However, when I watch the replay on television, it doesn’t pack the same punch. However, at Etihad, I remember being afraid he might have gotten injured, as it occurred.

Well, at least he got a stat this year.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

He is alive. That's a good start.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Hopefully he took advantage of said visit to see their resident Neurologist for a second opinion on his own condition.

 

[Tas]

We have proof of life, he should have been holding up a newspaper.

 

[The acurate one]

Has been given the all clear to resume training, whenever that is, apparently feels ok.

Donald Trump calls "Fake news"

 

[Mordecai]

When was the first time he missed a game due to this issue?

 

[The acurate one]

Well lucky no one believes a word Donald Trump says

 

[Themanbun]

Jacobs will get back from this, imo.

Best ******* news!

Cannot wait to silence some of the doubters. He is a gun

The 2019 Cunnington and 2018-19 Higgins/Jed become bonafide guns with this bloke fit.
If an opposition midfielder gets us on the spread it’s fine because Jacobs always has the other covered.
Never has one player played such a part in a teams fortunes and successes.
