Encouraging first half from Jack , like 99% of kids in there second game just needs a few games to adapt to the pace of the game

Agree, he's coming along nicely. Great work ethic. In half a game he managed 5 tackles and 25 pressure acts. Gonna be a ripper but naturally will be inconsistent and require time to get used to the higher pace and pressure of AFL footy.

Not sure about that. Extrapolated for a full game and he has 10 tackles and 50 pressure acts. Pretty damn impressive for a 1st year player in his 2nd AFL pre season game ever. Possibly his match fitness level needs work which is why he isn't always able to defend at full tilt at all times but I'm not concerned about his defensive abilities based on what I've seen.
I’d also imagine his football tank is along way off what it will get to, due to the fact his had an injury riddled career till now.tigerlove said:

Goes at barely 60% disposal efficiency. A knock on his running ability (spread) - similar concerns to say a Miles. Onto his 3rd club. 27yo this year. Not for us. Gold Coast offered 2 picks 43 and 60 something and 3 year deal. His brother is on the Gold Coast list. We had no chance without giving up too much. I am comfortable with us bringing in young talent. We have plenty of growth for midfield duties with the likes of Higgins and Rioli.
Yes I do , Gc pay first year draftees 400+ when they extend , Brodie , Ainsworth etc , do you think they get him over form adelaide on match payments :rofl ok :clapTigertool said:

Wouldn't have minded seeing him get a game, he's a defensive beast and has shown he can get the ball but being realistic, it's going to be hard to crack a spot ATM with pretty much all the midfielders fit and ready to go. His time will come when injuries start building. I get the feeling he will kill it at VFL level.
