Jacob Townsend is an ex-GWS player who moved to Victoria to continue his AFL career, and because he didn't choose Carlton or Collingwood he achieved team success. That was way back in 2017, when he kicked half of his career goals in just 5 games.
2018 provided Jacob with 10 opportunities to impress, to which he responded with mixed results. So after another pre-season, would 2019 allow him to continue his golden month or so from 2017 which saw him kick 6 goals in a game, when he won the JJ Liston medal for the best VFL player, and a flag (albeit against a side that basically forfeited the game)?
Well, he managed one game in 2019. Uno. Solo. Single. Tigerboyz's sex life. Just one.
That would seem like a pretty disappointing result by itself, but that single game was for the eventual premiers. They were smashed by Geelong to the tune of 67 points. Townsend had 3 disposals. Three. He had three clangers. 3. Richmond would have, literally, been better off without him on the team sheet that day. They could have put a number of inanimate objects on the field for no discernable difference:

So that was round 12 which was the low point of Richmond's season. Townsend would sadly not get another chance at AFL level and would be delisted at season's end, Never fear, because GWS will come to the rescue! They are considering signing him for their list, presumably as a Findlayson replacement.

"I shhhhhhhhhhat myself"
On another note, Jacob Townsend has an extremely well filled out and detailed Wikipedia page for a 48 game player. It covers his career in excruciating details and provides 81 references which I assume are every mention of Jacob in the media, ever. I'm not sure if there are any budding McIntoshes in the family but I wouldn't let him drive anywhere near a dog just to be safe.
Oh, and Dermot Brereton once said Jacob is possibly the toughest player in the game (yep that made it to his Wiki page). Then again, Dermot also once said that as a kid he sat at the back of the bus so he'd get a longer ride for the same fare.
Jacob, good luck next year. Thanks for your service and welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2019.
Dom Tyson sums up Melbourne. Eastern suburbs private school hack.
His name is "Dom" and he has a tidy groomed prefect appearance so Melbourne recruiters were probably pulling themselves.
That's some mighty reverse Midas workThey turned pick 2 into Brayden Preuss, Christian Salem and Jayden Hunt.
Sheet.
That's like cooking speed back into sudafed.
i agree actually, considering the guy:Harsh on Z Clarke.
Delisted by the 14th side and then played WAFL.
On minimum wage.
Worst culture in the AFL.
What the fu** did anyone expect????
Brad Scott was rough as gutsAs was Brad Scott.
“I loved my time last year even though we won 12 games that is 10 more than I would have won if I still had of been at Carlton,” Gibbs said to The Advertiser.
