Jacky in, Jericho out???

[Campbell's Chunky]

They listed Jacky on the team lists and no Jericho, so I thought they must have made a mistake because they hadn't mentioned we made a late change.

But then I saw Jacky run out.

Be good if the hacks in the commentary box mentioned this.

Anyway, it's going to be a loooooooong day with John Casey commentating, Spud special comments, and Rohan Smith on the boundary line.

Massie out (hamstring)

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Ah ok. I was all confused.

 

[RoosterLad]

Jacky you beauty. Great work young man.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Considering this thread is about commentary:

lol. our young guys get bugger all mention.

until very late in the 2nd when someone says 'we don't know a lot about the adelaide youngsters, but their pretty good. vince, van berlo, mackay.'

then spud frawley goes...'doughty'.

lol. i was in tears.

 

[The Crows Truth]

this should be Jacky's last IN for a while. Clearly not up to it at this stage and struggling in many facets - pace, kicking, tackling, falling over etc. Has a nice mark though for a small fella

Agree he's not ready yet .....but has taken 2 very good marks and is improving with each game

youve agreed with my comments then in full old son

look his best is still to come however his inability to show breakaway pace has been my biggest disappointment with JJ so far

 

[RoosterLad]

Brilliant kick by Stevens but that was set up by Jacky's great tackle!

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

lol, very humorous shot on goal.

 

[RoosterLad]

Beautiful kick wasn't it.

 

[spexau]

Ahh the poor lad.. I wanted him to nail that goal, just needed to slow up a bit. The tackle he laid in the 3rd term I think was good. He's improving steadily each time he plays I think. Got more of the ball again today and showed more pace.

 

[thed]

felt for him when he missed that kick... definitely improving, looking more comfortable each game.

Sometimes appears over eager, too keen, trying too hard. Long term these are good problems to have. Shows he has the right attitude . Appears to have talent to match.

 

[fightingdreamer88]

Ah yes, my buddy player. Don't question it for a minute, he will be a very good player in time. Just needs to continue building that experience and confidence. Improving with every outing.

Jacky would have played against the state 18's yesterday if not selected.


I cannot understand how he is playing AFL yet. His form does not warrant it.

Was actually up in a box today and they had the Fox commentary on TV.

I swear I must've heard wrong.

LOL though

That may be true but he seems to play better in Crows colours than he does for the Eagles.

 

[Vince Van Mackay]

That, and he seems to be getting alot better with each game.

Today, being at the ground watching him, he didn't seem to be out of place like he did in previous games, all he needs is confidence to back himself, the pace is there and even alot of the skill, he just needs to back himself in. And that is happening more and more with each game.

 

[spexau]

Yeah a couple of his kicks were really well directed. One to Jerhico on the wing he hit him up on the lead perfectly with a 30-40m pass.

 

[crowman_23]

He certainly is getting better with every outing. Maybe shouldn't be in the side based on form, but it is good to get a few games into him and I think the positive signs are starting to show from that already.

 

[KingsCrow]

I wouldn't be surprised if he were dropped to reserves in the Eagles. I am not kidding.

Negativity are teh suck.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Seriously?

Best game hes played for us so far.

 

[-CG-]

I thought Jacky played his best game today. Sure he made a few mistakes, but he's only young! Loved his run down tackle and run down the wing, even if he missed.

 

[RoosterLad]

KingsCrow reallyyyy has it in for the young lad which is unfortunate for KC.
