[jackson_rules]

a tiger supporter jsut pointed out to me that we have a red headed little champ and i thought i should let you all know he be a gun in years to come

a few of us have been aware of this gem for a while now

yeh only a few im jsut wondering why more havent noticed him yet

He was my highlight of the year. Will be a Champ. A big bodied midfielder in the Vos Mould

 

[tiger coll]

last year i went to watch melbourne grammar play carey (jacko's old school).

he dominated and unloaded a torp from the centre circle which hit the goal post half way up. an absolute massive kick. he can run all day and has a desire for the hard ball.

needs to spend more time in there if we are to be more competitive

he is an agreesive player and if he could get in and under in the packs he would be great.

if he had of waited till last year to go in the draft how high do you think he would have gone(from memory he only went into the draft on a promise from the tigers that he could concentrate on yr12 last year)

1st 2nd round i think we would of taken him with number 12 if he was still there

Have you seen him play. I have never seen him take a step backwards. He goes in for his share of hard balls gets and he loves to tacke.

i know but if was given enough time in the middle to do that more often

 

[sante]

Everyone is right but we can't just chuck him in the centre because against teams like the Saints, he will get killed. But i still agree that he should play more in the centre and less down back, maybe forward a bit

 

[nut]

I think over the years Richmond have probably rushed young players too much, playing him down back at young age will make him into a better midfielder in years to come. He is naturally a defensive player and will be great around the ground in the pack situation feeding it out to the speed machines like Tambling.

Deliedio, Jackson, Tambling, Raines,Roach, Coughlan, Meyer, Hartigan, Hyde, Tuck........ It seems our Midfield has got some improvement in it in the next few years. . Anyone I missed??

have you seen jacko run he will overtake coughlan as our best midfielder in the future will win the ball like him but has that extra pace to run through

Couglhans pace isn't his most valuable asset. It's winning the Ball, and holding the ball up in stopages.

But I think you maybe right there is something about Jackson that I like. An element of CLASS.

 

[madtiger2005]

people are saying that it's too early to put jacko in the middle and he would have been killed against the saints. I'll tell you one thing, he would be alot more valuable to us in the middle than chaffey has or ever will be. Jacko is a mature type, he has size, strength and pace. Using him in the middle will benefit the team a lot more than having chaff in there. People were saying before the season that Hyde isn't good enough in the middle. Well Hyde proved them wrong and so will Jacko. Every time I see Chaffey playing half a game in the middle, while Jackson is played on a wing or flank, I cringe that our midfield will not perform as well as it could if the right players were used.

Good points. Be patient.

Chaffey started most centre bounces out side the square, he would than link up and tag Del santo which from all accounts he did ok against probably the best on baller at the minute. Yes I dont think Chaffey has much left in him but TW has given him a run with role this year which basically makes him an on baller by default. We need a Tagger good enough to beable to play in the centre when the ball is bounced and not be a liability like chaffey can be. Around the ground I thought chaffey did alright on Del santo

 

[madtiger2005]

Chaffey wouldn't be bad on a forward flank. He can kick a long goal or a short pass. Jacko, Hyde and Newman are our best taggers

Hyde as a tagger?
I finally figured it out, madtiger is Danny Frawley!!!
