Hands up if you think JR is a skinny flanker with an attitude disorder?

Yeah I noticed and liked that too.
Probably not the sort of thing an "arrogant" player would do. But not the sort of thing the average player would do either.
One of the articles this week about Jack talked about him being mistaken for being arrogant because he is different, exuberant and loud. It's not the same thing at all.
He's a breath of fresh air imo and not only from a footy development perspective.

you must be kidding. Some of his grabs have been with half the opposition side hanging off him.
I'm not worried about sides double teaming Jack ....his Feynman footy IQ and immaculate ground skills will continue to sort the full back wheat from the chaff. Jack's bag of tricks is very very deep. Most full backs are footballing Homer Simpsons as far as smarts go. I can't wait to see him on Scarlett now....will be a duel. They'll do everything to stop him at the Gabba. I'm marking him down for 6.

I think you may have missed my point tiger, but ill answer anyway
A: When Capt Crazy Cow says "Yep, Im wrong" and perhaps Crumpet Avenger comes back on here and says "JR's last month have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt how little I know about footy"

Agreed Mr Sneeze. The club clearly made the right choice.
However lets hope that there's an emerging backup somewhere else because we'd be stuck if Jack goes the way of Nick this season.
Be very nice to see one or more of Post, Astbury & Griffiths become damaging key forwards also.
psssssssss hold on did i mention Winning.

You cannot be serious?
Get's more respect? Before the St.Kilda game there were articles after articles on the guy, Ross Lyon knew he was a threat, and he still kicked 6 and looked unstoppable, after seeing that and more news all around Australia on him, you don't think Woosha would have had some respect? Ten minutes into the game Woosha had all his plans thrown out the window. Double team Jack after 4 goals in the first ten, Jack still kicks another 6 for the day!
I am very happy to have Jack as our main forward. He has so many traits that make him one of the best KPF in the game. He reads the ball in flight better than anyone, he is elite in contested marking, he has Elite footy nous and smarts and even when the ball hits the deck, he will be a danger.
How can he not be a KPF?

unlike the media, oppostion coaches watch their rivals teams very closely and any foward scout worth his salt would have picked up about 5 weeks ago that Jack is on fire and the key to our foward line
Have my fingers crossed that if Griffiths turns out to be the player the expectations suggest - double teaming Jack won't be quite as easy to do. Dimma & co have all stated that we can't have too much of a reliance on one goalkicker which is common sense anyway.
If Lyon knew he was such a threat before the game then why did he leave Blake on him on his own?Then all of a sudden we edged closer to the Saints.What does Lyon do? oh wait dble Team Jack.Game set match,they run away with the game.Would Lyon take such a gamble against a Brown,Richo at the start of the game? I think not.Tigerbob said:
As for Worsfold.Same applys.
Jack by himself one on one is just about unbeatable.Can he cope with being dble teamed?I think not.Hence the reason why i think he,ll be a better HFF than a KPF.
