Jack R doesnt pay attention

beat me to it TOO :hihi. What did you think of his game holy dough-boy? Not too many 21 year olds take monster pack marks, outnumbered 3-1 and stick it through at a crucial time of a match (Jon Brown springs to mind).
BTW, some nice pack marking efforts from the skinny midget who'll never make a KPP yesterday hey? :hihi
That last pack mark and goal when the game was on the line, was the best thing i have seen from Jack in his career to date. He has always shown he has the talent...but yesterday was a really strong demanding POWER FORWARD performance. Get this guy a cpl of foils - i.e. griffiths and astbury - and he is going to be a superstar of the competition.

Agree.... when he took that mark I couldn't stop laughing from absolute joy. I couldn't believe he took it, and slotted the goal. Was the best individual act I've seen from a Tiger player since Bowden's winning goal a couple of years back.
Good mark for a half forward Flanker (Not). When will these people who keep coming up with the rubbish about him not being big enough to hold down a key post eat some humble pie
Jack's mark was right up there with Richo's finest.
The lad knows how to play and I get the feeling he's a gonna be a big game player.
In a few years time, with a little help from one of Astbury, Griffiths, Post and a resting Vickery/Graham/Browne, he's going to give opposition defenders nightmares.

He played for the free kick on 3 occasions instead of trying to make a contest yesterday. One he got away with and was rewarded for acting but the other 2 times were pathetic. He needs to make a contest every time.. cos when it doesnt work it makes him look like a soft fool!
He was good overall yesterday & the good outweighed the bad by quite a bit I thought.
Positives: Took some excellent marks. Really strong grabs & kicked well for goal - wasn't bunting his kicks to the right. Did a SMOTHER !! I Nearly jumped out of my chair when he did that & thought..gee..is that a sign that he is starting to understand that the second efforts....1 percenters are just as important as taking a mark? Chased hard on more than once occasion.
Negatives: Went up for 2-3 totally unrealistic marks & gave frees away as a result - which allowed Hawthorn a easy clearance from defence. He wasn't even remotely close. Still went halfheartedly on a couple of chases.
Overall was a very good game & I hope to see more of it from him. He was in my best.
I still feel he may not end up being our number one forward & that is what we are pinning our hopes on with Griffiths. If the kid (Griffiths) is as good as they say he may be - then Jack will be a better player again for him taking the number one defender.
