Universal Love Jack Hombsch Appreciation Thread

[tangolikelama]

Exceptionally good. Beat the 'best' player in the comp convincingly. So brave, goes back with the flight of the ball time after time with no regard for his own safety.

 

[brad the brain]

Brilliant! Clear push in the back and Franklin a gimme goal.

 

[I Dont Care]

Our backline were good. Hombsch, couldn't have done more. Excellent game

 

[It Just Is]

One of our most consistent performers all year and starred again tonight.

At only 21 he could be something seriously special.

 

[Marmozet]

Was awesome tonight!

 

[Grandaddy J]

Watched him debut for us last year against the Dogs and said to my Dad he'll play 200+ games for the club. Looks increasingly possible with every game he plays. One can only wonder how GWS did not see what seemed so obvious from the get-go.

 

[PJ Power]

Carlile was very good tonight also, but Hombsch was enormous.
Incredible performance.

 

[MF]

Thought he was good before but tonight was a breakout game. Killed Franklin.

 

[Mangus Onfries]

Jacks a gun. Not only did he have to beat Buddy tonight, he had the green maggots to beat. He can hold his head high.

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

Massive game best of his career....frankfurt kick one legitimate goal on him

 

[ClintEastwood]

I have already ejaculated all over his name in the thread title. But that's it, no more. Dont wish to wax too lyrical after a kick in the guts like that.

 

[klem22]

He certainly lifts for the big occasion we need more players to step up i think so many are playing small!

 

[1954]

For a bloke who was told he wasn't big enough to cut it as a key defender ( at gws ) Jack Hombsch was sensational tonight, and as others have already said it was probably his breakout game.

 

[vonno]

DAT FIST!!

Huge game for him. I absolutely love seeing him battle one on one

 

[Port01]

Can't say enough good about his game tonight. Thought he was massive. Didn't just half contests, he won them.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

im a big fan of this guy. what irks me is that we have such fantastic players in this calibre.......hombsche, jonas...i regard as similar as they both are given jobs on players twice thier height. imagine if we had a defence that had the hight to cover the beasts, such as adding Day to trengove and carlisle....this would free Jack and tommy to be beasts on smaller men

 

[PJ Power]

Has comfortably raced past Jonas as our most capable and best performed defender.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Has comfortably raced past Jonas as our most capable and best performed defender.

dont agree. jonas is 188cm. dont forget that. jonas is to plays against a stevie J type. Hombsche is to play as he did tonight.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Has comfortably raced past Jonas as our most capable and best performed defender.

Meh, I prefer to think of the Hombsch / Jonas / Bobby / Trengove triumvirate of four.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

cudos to Carlisle's job on tippitt tonight too

 

[PJ Power]

dont agree. jonas is 188cm. dont forget that. jonas is to plays against a stevie J type. Hombsche is to play as he did tonight.

Jonas has been far from his best for the last ten weeks since his o.p.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Big fan of Hombsch. Contests so well and a very good user of the ball. I feel safe when the ball is in his hands or he is in a one on one contest.

 

[Seanybruz]

Hombsch was fantastic, he's going to be our next longterm fullback. Of all the players GWS has gifted us he looks to be close to the best value going forward for us i.e straight swap for Craplin.

Jacks easily our best 1 on 1 defender & will have a spot in that backline for the next 10 years, thought he beat Buddy & would've pantsed him had he not been bent over by the umps.

Together Broady, Jonas, Bobby, Jacko, O'Shea & Hombsch are a pretty good backline to build a list around.

 

[Jakko]

Love him. Surely gets some golden fist votes this week?

 

[Seanybruz]

cudos to Carlisle's job on tippitt tonight too

Is it just me or does Kurt look like he's been in a decent paddock? He kept sucking in his gut on the sidelines might need to start calling him Tippo the Hippo.
