I watched some of the Richmond legends match before the game, so I was there quite early.

After that had finished, a few of the Richmond players came out to have a shot at goal. Jack was out on the ground the longest having shots from in and around the 50.

Clever thing was that one of the Richmond staff kicked him the ball (around a 30m pass) and Jack marked the ball in between his legs with one hand at the front and one at the back.

That's gotta be pretty hard to do. What a talent!

Just thought it was interesting. :cool:

Cant remember what game it was but was driving to the game and on the radio they said someone kicked the ball to him, he layed it up for himself and then kicked it through the sticks for a goal from 50m out (without once touching the ball with his hands)

Jack was actually out on the ground at about half time or 3 quarter time in the legends game. He jogged around the sideline to the punt road end, then up the middle of the ground through all the legend players to the other goals then hung around the other end of the ground.

And then like RFC said, he spent a LONG time practicing goal kicking from all angles as soon as the legends game was over (long before any other Tigers came out).

Attitude problems??? dont think so!

edit: there was also a Sydney player out on the ground and having shots at the same end as Jack. Not sure who it was tho.

sat on the fence an hour or so before the brisbane game while he took some shots, kicked four goals in a row with inside-out torps from the boundary about 30 - 40 out... felt like watching an animal in the zoo
