[mhill]

After 10 years, 140 odd games, 5482 clangers, 592 missed tackles and 7980654 bad football decisions on the field, Dan Jackson has arrived as an AFL footballer.

Dare I say it, he tore GJ a new one.

Our best player yesterday, offensively and defensively.

I have officially taken a brace position.

Not sure I'd go that far, although maybe as far as Gary can be "tore a new one". Anyway it's great to see Dj getting up and about. Fantastic to see him work hard defensively & hit the scoreboard too I've always been a supporter of Daniel.

I think he has always been here but he has now become a pivotal player in our side. A year or so back he was getting games because our depth meant little pressure on his place in the best 22. Thus far this season I would expect him to be close to the lead in the Jack Dyer medal and well done to him. He has been our most consistent player to date and his kicking has "cough" improved.

I am liking the 2013 version of Dan Jackson, I want to see more though if i can

 

[scarecrow2k1]

I think he's arrived a while ago and we have just been slow to the party.
Would be comfortably leading our B&F at this stage too I'd say.
Our most consistent player this season

Well, what he is doing is getting the best out of himself...............wish I could say the same about Deledio

 

[RunningBounce]

Go Jacko! We all know he stands up in tackles, runs hard, tackles, but this year he is also kicking goals.

2 goals straight last night, when we kicked 6.17

1 goal straight last week, when we kicked 8.18

3.1 the week before.

10 goals 6 for the season to date. His best goal kicking season was 2012, with a total of 10 goals (and 13 points).

His career stats, see below.

Also he is on 49 career goals, so 1 goal away from 50 AFL goals, not a bad effort considering he was a tagger for most of his career and a "try-as-hard-as-you-can" type midfielder.

Whilst at times during his career his "mistakes tally" has been huge and his decision making hasn't been the best, one thing you can never question with this bloke is his work ethic and will-to-win. He just tries his heart out for the Yellow And Black jumper. I reckon every team needs one these types of players and I'm happy we D. Jackson in our side.

2013 has been a great season for him. Well done.

 

[loser 81 2 16]

Yes I must say I have changed my view of him - he is a very much improved player this season - and all the best to him for it.
While I wasn't impressed with his poor disposal, what used to drive me crazy, was his demanding the ball in front of goal, then consistently missing.
He's not doing that this year.

 

[mhill]

Although they are different players, I remember Chance Bateman being a waste of space at Hawrhorn for many years before finally maturing into a very good footballer in his last 4-5 years.
Maybe the penny has finally dropped?
Dan also mentioned he had been working on his decision making and kicking in the off season which is all credit to him and shows its never too late to apply and develop what talent you have.

 

[Spluff]

He's been good all year.

 

[tunksy]

its been mentioned a bit, just gotten over hamstring tendonitis that his been dealing with since he came runner up in our b&f. is getting the best out of himself and working his butt off, its paying off big time.

 

[Bojangles17]

Has been a fabulous year to date, keep it up

 

[Hate]

Oblivious, much? He arrived a long time ago.

 

[THE_GUN]

So will we get a 1st round pick for him ??? NO ----- Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Nostradumbass]

Ablett was tagging Jackson.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Gave Ablett a bath did Jacko was way more effective and hit the scoreboard

 

[caroma]

If he was a tad faster he'd be amazing. Definitely improved since the start of 2012.

 

[Wally Matera]

Yawn. Enter all the bandwagon supporters. Pathetic. Arrived, only yesterday? Pffff... clueless.

I don't know who this "Roy Ward" who gave out the votes for the Age on our game, but he's clearly a flog of the highest order. Didn't give any votes to Jacko. Beating the best player in the game and kicking 2 out of the 12 goals scored by both teams in the match. Then he goes and gives 7 votes to Ablett!

 

[mcuzzy]

I thought he arrived in 2009 tbh.

You don't have a guy playing every week in the leadership group for no reason.

Also help inflict Ablett's very first defeat (as a player) against the Tiges!!!

That's a joke. Clear BOG for most people

 

[Tigersman]

Must admit I am surprised by his output. Haven't been his biggest fan. Still has his flaws but no doubt he is playing good footy. Takes a fair bit to work your way out of whipping boy status and I'd say he has achieved that.
