He has failed to cement his spot as a midfielder or forward, he is being set up for his last opportunity to remain in the best 22.This kind of feels like hes been set up to fail.
It will fail if JZ is not up to the task - and the odds of JZ playing a permanent half back role by round 18 and making a good fist of it is well less than 50% - closer to 10%.This kind of feels like hes been set up to fail.
My footy strategy is pretty limited but I am still very much of the belief that jack and Ben 10 should alternate as the big body clearance mid/full forward. In both those positions they will be surrounded by a bunch of talented kids that should be coached to capitalise on Ben and Jack’s strengths.
Seems similar to Swallow playing on a wing in his twilight.He has failed to cement his spot as a midfielder or forward, he is being set up for his last opportunity to remain in the best 22.
I get there is a lot of concern around his pace(or lack there of), but my biggest success criteria for this is if he can use the footy well.
There are mixed views on this board about his ball use, however if he can get that right, it will work IMO.

He's the 2nd most experienced player on the list!!!!

0 of those games across half back.
He is a smart footballer, but I think it will take him a while to adjust to the backline.
He isn't Hodge.
I strongly suspect that the bottom line for Jack here is that he finds himself in the exact same position as Swallow was in 2017. Remember, we pushed him forward to see if he could prosper there because we wanted to change up our midfield. Andrew couldn’t make it work and he didn’t survive. That’s where Jack’s at now. So, the challenge for him is to ensure he is more of a Hodge than a Swallow..

So ****ing what!
He isn't Corey Wagner either.
It will take him a while to adjust to playing across half back is all I'm saying.
For every Hodge or Howe who has made a good transition to half back there is a Mason Wood equivalent.
Ziebell is no sure thing to have an impact down there, and he is going to have a number of players breathing down his neck for a spot.
Swallows problem was he was completely one dimensional as a ball winner.
Jack has a wider ranging skill set.
Yep, completely agree, TPA. Nevertheless, Jack is in the same position as Andrew, in that he needs to prove that he can re-adapt and thrive or else fall by the wayside. I have every confidence in him.
He doesn't have to prove it if the coach picks him to play there, as he has proven it already by that support.
You have doubts, but you don't have any defined view of an outcome.
This is really about your personal doubts and limitations in understanding.
