I'm not usually one to give rumours any legs, but just interested to hear on the Marngrook footy show that one of the guys reckons Jack is out of the team due to a massive rift with someone, hence why he isnt getting a game. Anybody heard anything about this?
 
There was a rumour doing the rounds a few weeks ago that he had a dust up with Pendles during training.

I reckon he is out of the team due to form, and he just happens to also have a rift with someone.
 
I don't know about a rift/riff? but he has been told he has to improve his defensive game massively (i.e. chasing, tackling, poor body langauge when he gets beaten).
 
Haha, funny joke.

It is a joke right.:confused::o

Every training session we have, there are at least a couple of pies supporters there (even at closed ones) so if something like this happened I'm pretty sure it would have come out 3 weeks ago when he was initially dropped.

I simply do not believe rumours started by people who do not support or have intimate knowledge of the club.

Jack got dropped simply because he wasn't playing a "team game", and then he got unlucky on 2 fronts, where he got injured in the VFL and Dawes caught fire.

But I guess the facts always get in the way of a good story.
 
Not really wanting to put fuel on the fire but i was watching the game from right near the players on Sunday and he spent pretty much the entire game mucking around on his iPhone, didn't seem overly interested in the game.

I don't think there is a problem though, and even if there was if Jack plays well enough in the VFL he should play anyway. Is it Edwards and Mcleod from Adelaide that have played around 300 games together but don't speak?
 
In his first 2 games before he was dropped, he averaged 7.5 possesions, 1.5 goals and 4 tackles.

From that you would say his pressure was ok, and his goalkicking was slightly low, but the fact he couldnt get his hands on the footy enough was the major reason for him being dropped.
 
I heard that he was out of the team because he built of raft with someone.

Looking back, I may have misheard.
 
Certainly more interesting than the injury story. Surgery during the pre-season and then in a moon-boot a couple of weeks ago. Would explain the lack of form...

It was Bear Grylls, wasn't it? I'm so jealous. :o
 
I heard he took sides with Barham in his feud with Beams & this upset Dayne immensely. The club played both of them in round 2 to find out who the most worthy was to hold his spot.
Beams was BOG.
Jack hasn't been sighted since.

Just a rumour, though...
 
Have you all seen Pendles 'stach???

Barham is behind this no doubt.:eek:

If this keeps up we're going to have two separate sides at the same club;

Mo's and Skins.:D


Seriously though I heard that MM was talkng to JA and they were discussing his form. Jack agreed with Mick that he had been a bit down on numbers and that he would appreciate an opportunity to gain some form in the VFL. Jack also, unselfishly suggested that Dawesy would probably jump at the chance for some senior action.
Mick told Jack he would take on board his feelings and get back to him after he had a chance to feel out whether Dawesy thought is was a sensible move. After a few days of meetings and an hour or two in the tent with the hot rocks and stuff they all agreed to the current set-up, with Dawesy thanking Jack for the opportunity and Mick giving both a big hug.

Nothing odd about it, just your standard blokey discussion on what's best for the side at that time.
 
What is this rift between Beams and Barham everyone seems to speak of?
I've seen a few people mention it on here.

Imagine having Andrew Johns and John Anthony living in the same house.

LOL

It'd be pretty funny.

lol. i reckon we should have a bigfooty attendee at training sessions for a daily report- if they're running okay, hammys are fine, little dust ups.. basically everything carlton would do. :cool:
 
I never knew Jack played guitar? I bet that's why he can't get a game because he's playing his axe too much.
