Yes, Brisbane's depth is terrible. As Jack said, McInerney's a #2 ruck. They don't have a #1, or a #3.

Just realized when Francis Bourke became our 3rd 300-gamer, no other club even had two.
That's the thing though. He's more likely to get poorer defenders more often, if we play more threats forward.
Agree. But he failed to exploit previous favourable matchups like Maynard (very good player but a small defender) and had a poor period from the last qtr against West Coast (non-competitive in that qtr when Barass took 3 marks directly opposed to him) through St Kilda and Gold Coast. But he wasn't alone.
He essentially won the match for us (he and Nank) in the most important match of the year all kudos to Jack.
Ultimately if we have a reasonable run next year with injury we will be the team to beat and Jack can make a valuable contribution.
The game was about to leave Richmond behind and we didn't even know it. We've been such good supporters to stick on, only for an *smile* like Hocking to end the fun prematurely.
Been a great year for high marks, however the more I see these great high marks the more I think Jack’s marks been the best this year, all the others have a similarity to them , Jack’s was one of a kind
Played on Jack in last year's final and kept him to a goal (the other was kicked on Andrews). Couldn't repeat.
No more a key defender than e.g. Vlastuin. Gap-filler who's managed to hang on despite mostly being on the fringe. A survivor.
Battled manfully. One of our best, tried to make things happen but no support and outnumbered by good defence.
Still our most dangerous forward & main target but shouldn’t be. CCJ to come back in as soon as he’s fit. Lynch’s contract could be a millstone around our salary cap if he keeps playing like this - if it’s his body, then get it right. If it isn’t - what then?
Been critical of Jack this year ( wrongly) thought he did what he could today , just can’t kick the goals he once would have on the top defenders , that’s not his role now, he’s our second stringer and doing it well most weeks
Yeah not really setting a high bar there.
Not sure Jack is travelling that well. Had a great game last week but the other 5 in the last 6 have not been great. Seems to be a big gap between his best and worst these days. That said our forward line system is roadkill so that doesn't help him.
