Would really like to see him get a chance this week. Give him a good run at it of 4-5 weeks. Nothing to lose really

Good to read his coach in NB' saying he has developed some leadership qualities helping out some of the younger players - positive signs.

Drums are starting to beat. Hopefully KJ plays AFL this week.
No question that Jaksch has talent and he has improved his endeavours in recent weeks, but you can just tell that there's more in the tank.
It wasn't in his highlights, but one mark he took low to the ground last week, was what I feel coaches want to see more of, from him.
I guess he may never be someone who busts his gut in a Cripps/Kreuzer sort of way, but he does have the tools to become more than just a competent player for us...........sooner the better though.

i'm hoping he can get a run in the forward line, it sounds like he has been in good form at the VFL level
More of this would be great
why isn't he getting a run at senior level? does he have an attitude problem? I hope he gets at least a few games in a row this season so we can say with some certainty whether he could have made it. If he gets cut at end of season without at least a few more games there will always be a "what if" in my mind. At this stage that package deal involving Jaksch is just an epic cluster****. I pray we can get something worthwhile out of it.

Hasn't shown himself capable of four quarters in most VFL games, let alone AFL. Wants to be a forward but has largely not wanted to get himself up to scratch for the role.
If that's changed this off-season, good for him, but he's got to show it in more than a couple of VFL practice games and he's got to be patient about how long it takes for that to be received.

He's in the last year of his contract isn't he?

Yes he is with a 4th year option.
I have not been a big wrap for KJ but . . .
In the highlights of the last VFL game he looked to have developed a bigger body at last. He took good marks on the lead and a pack mark in the goal square for his 5 goals. He could be worth a shot in the next little while.

In my opinion he's earned a game.. even before the weekend. It seems a bit like Bolts or the MC just aren't a fan, plain and simple.

All rather sad he has been delisted...
Thought he would have made it.

At the time I blindly hoped the pick 7 trade would set us up.
Talented mobile KPP, underated inside mid bereft of opportunity, and a late first.
I guess there's a reason it went through very late in trade week:
Like the Grand Master asking the novice if he really wants to make a particular bad move.
SOS: "you really sure you want to do this? - why don't you go and have a think first?"

Such a shame he didn't put in the effort necessary. Best of luck KJ.

Probably the most disappointing outcome we could have hoped for. All the best KJ

Why wasn't he given a few games in the seniors towards the end of year to show the club whether he was worth keeping on the list ?
Because he sucked, attitude-wise.
The end of an era.
We now move forward with players that are determined to forge an AFL career and will leave no stone unturned in that quest.
You weren't that person KJ. I don't resent you for it, I resent the previous regime that brought you in without proper assessment.
All the best.

Gee, I dunno. Maybe because the club already knew he wasn't worth keeping. Waddayathunk??
