Or maybe Dal was just the closest senior player to him at the time?
True, but I think EH's observation relates to the bit about Dal being the best communicator on the ground.
It begs the question about the senior players on our list and whether they are doing enough in this regard. When you think about some of the issues raised about our leadership group recently, it's a fair question.
It does explain to me just why Jamie MacMillan is so highly rated within the club and why he keeps getting played even when his form is down.
That said, Jacobs has played at 2 AFL clubs, 1 VFL club, presumably one SNAFL club, juniors etc etc...so he's played with a pretty large number of players. It's not necessarily a knock on anyone else's leadership and communication skills to say that Dal is the best at it. It might simply mean exactly that - Dal is the best at it. Another unexpected bonus we get from drafting this bloke
