Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn, Jackson Ross, Pick #71 2017

[The Chad and I]

This kid needs a nickname.

Action Jaction

 

[VandoHawk]

The game is anything but physical these days, we won’t be playing in a contested final where’s he’d be exploited either.
If anybody in the front half has a niggle in the last month I dare say they’ll be put on ice. I reckon the lad may snag a debut in the last month if form warrants

His form warrants a debut more than any of our younger players. It's his body that doesn't.

Jackson Ross and Harrison Jones are always mixed up for me due to there being multiple Anglo-celtic surnames everywhere at once

I had more issue with remembering which one Moore and Ross were compared to each other, because you know, they are so similar physically

People seem to have trouble with which Moore plays for hawthorn

doesn't help that the stats sheet doesn't say A.Moore or D.Moore half the time

[TylerDurden]

Has 3 goals already. Early in 2nd.

 

[SuperSic]

Make that 4 before half time.

We simply cannot ignore this guy any longer. He is pummeling the door down.

Does he debut this week? Bottom line.

 

[SuperSic]

Does he debut this week? Bottom line.

Given how poor our forward line has been and the fact that the club were even willing to throw Sicily forward last night, I think he deserves a shot.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Problem is, by playing him in our dysfunctional forward line, does this actually hamper his development?

He'd bring some enthusiasm to a side that looks very flat at the moment.

This is a good point.

For me you chuck him in for the rest of the year and watch him grow.

I think it can only help his development by stringing some AFL games together despite our shitful setup.

No, getting a taste at that higher level will show him how much work he needs to make it.

Imaging if he plays well?

 

[Steven Tyler]

Waste of time playing him at the SCG this week

Half forwards can easily go missing on that ground

Lewis must play though

 

[TylerDurden]

I reckon both he and Lewis will play this week.

Scrim will play.

Clarko will ring the changes here.

Yeh, will change the players but keep the game plan...

 

[Brishawk]

Clarko always teaches defence first. 05-06 was pure defence. 2007 we picked up the attack and then 2008 we were strong in both.

2009-2010 we transitioned the defensive strategy. 2011 we picked up the attack but still quite defensive. 2012-2014 we were quite attacking with a strong defence.

Yeh but that hardly gets a late night laugh now does it?

He's also very good at building a system without all the pieces, then adding components which bring it all together. See the addition of Brian Lake, McEvoy & probs a few others. That's what I can see us doing again now, although we're in need of a few pieces, not just a KPP.

 

[TheFourPillars]

If we get two more really good mids outside of mitch coming back we will be a completely different side

 

[MrPremiership]

Knocking the door down

Ever watched a VFL game? The weather and quality of player means he'd feel right at home with the deliveries in our seniors.

Jackson isn't a bloke who is relying on people to get him the ball, he's relying on his own smarts and craftiness to kick goals regardless. Exactly the type of bloke we need in the side at the moment.

He won’t get the same space at afl level. Deserves a shot though.
