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

[Brufen]

I’m probably the same. Hope it ends up being a Taz situation.

Still when or if I watch him in 2018 I will be worried lol

Don't be worried. Its done. Signed 1yr deal on the weekend.

Worried that he may hurt himself

"Ben, we're going to offer you a year".

"I brought a pen from home".

 

[Groin guru]

Over the moon. Has a torrid run of injury from draft to now. I'm crossing my testicles for him.

Nick Bowen: Understand North has, at least for now, completed its delistings. Waite and Jacobs, along with Mountford and Thompson, offered 1yr contracts

 

[Snake_Baker]

Only 1 season for Mountford?

Interesting.

Interesting.

As I mentioned, lock it in.

Confirmed. Benny is here in 2018.


Jacobs will be hoping to put two injury plagued seasons behind him after securing another year.

“Despite the frustration and length of time he’s endured on the sidelines recently, Ben has remained upbeat and extremely positive around the club,” Joyce said.

“We are extremely confident that when back to full fitness, he will have a big impact for us.”

Ben Jacobs was arguably top 3 in importance for us in the back end of 2015. I think he finished top 5 in BnF too.

 

[shintemaster]

Imagine what it would mean having him for a whole year. He is a weapon for us and would make things a lot easier for our developing mids.

Finished 7th.

 

[Jesslc]

Finished 7th.

Yeah i wasnt sure but 7th is pretty damn good for a tagger

 

[shintemaster]

Yeah i wasnt sure but 7th is pretty damn good for a tagger

From memory it wasn't until that round 5-6 mark that we really started to settle him into the role full time yeah? 7th given that is amazing. Would probably have won the B&F if based on the last 13-14 rounds.

 

[Gasometer]

Fingers crossed.

Good news.

Good luck Ninja.

 

[Dodecahedron]

Must not go to Utah.
You know.
It’s rocky and slippery and stuff.

 

[King Corey]

Do this preseason at the Tullamarine facility then?

 

[shintemaster]

Must not go to Utah.

It’s rocky and slippery and stuff.

He'd probably get shot.

In the foot.

 

[Twinkletoes]

He'd probably get shot.

In the foot.

As opposed to Tullamarine where he'd probably get A shot.

In the arm.

By arm you mean keister yeah?

 

[giantroo]

 

[Psicosis]

If he can get right for 2018 he will finally have that midfield role that he has always needed.

 

[Jack Bradley]

Reckon he is coooooked - his foot isn't right and he knows it

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Long way back.

But he has the mental capacity and drive to get there. Let's hope that foot can handle the load in pre-season!
