Welcome Welcome to the Hawks Jack Scrimshaw

[Jazzfan]

He’s had a really good second half of the season. Has played his best footy with at least one or two of Day, Impey or CJ missing (plus obviously Sicily). We are so well stocked at HBF but there isn’t room for them all back there. Unlocking ways to use Scrimshaw, Day, CJ, Impey and Sicily further afield is going to be pretty key to Mitchell’s success as a coach. So much talent there but they can’t all play HBF.

Under Clarko we have always orchestrated an extra down back, by not following the oppositions high half forward to the contest. Scrim and all these guys are guns, but with a strong footy IQ this is the easiest role to play. Garry Lyon is absolutely correct in that. Just look at Timmy down back if in any doubt.

As you said, how some of these guys progress in others areas will be critical for us moving forward. I'm not sure I can see Scrim in any other position to be honest, but I'd love to see Will Day take a McLuggage path, which would start by playing him on the wing next year. He uses both feet and would be brilliant at hitting up forwards.

I'm also really intrigued to see if Mitchell will put a greater emphasis on the contest next year. Can any Box Hill watchers provide insight with that? Do we have even numbers at the contest?

With good to excellent users of the ball in Sicily, Impey, Scrimshaw and Hardwick down back we can afford to move Day upfield - to the wing, or somewhere where he gets given the ball at every opportunity.

Wing is ideal for him.

Scrimshaw can 10000% become a midfielder, played there as a junior too.

Wing till he can grow a body.

6 coaches votes on the weekend. Putting together a really impressive season. Looks super confident in his body and ability this season

 

[threesixpio]

Love that Grant was his favourite player as a kid.

 

[The hands of stone]

Absolute jet , loved the goal and looking forward to seeing more if it.

Not selected in the best 22 and under squad, laughable really.

Was actually quite a strong backline, who would you replace? Butts?

I'd imagine it's because he will be 23 by the time they announce the team.

 

[theiaofseed]

Easily ahead of Trent Rivers, Isaac Quaynor, Brandon Starcevich and Will Powell.

He wasn't eligible.

Thought this too initially, but Google tells me that players must be 22 or under for the entire season including finals. Jack turns 23 in September.

 

[Slysh]

He's really announcing himself as one of the best HBF's in the game.

He is announcing it but no one seems to be listening

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

good, media wont pump us his tires until its already too late and he's won 2 Norm Smiths and a brownlow

Elite highlight package- crazy to think that the kid is only 23!
If he can move more into the midfield whilst maintaining his defensive strengths we're going to be a great team to watch next year.

Interesting to see the vast majority of the time her is lose with no man in sight. I wonder if he is reading the play really well and pealing off or if there are times when the oppo is scoring through his man…

Gee, he gets called to 'play on' quicker than any other player I can think of

 

[Turtles all the way down]

Or like a postman with Tourette's

 

[Flukey!]

Surprised he ranked relatively low in the B&F considering the year he had.

Think has happened in other years as well. Interested to know what the coaches think he wasn’t doing. I expect it’s something to do with his defensive side.

I enjoyed that immensely, thank you kind sir.
