Jacob Townsend

[zippadeee]

Loved how sheepish Hardwick looked when asked why he hadn't picked him before. Why - because no-one expected him to do more than crash-tackle-grunt whichever opponent happened to be in front of him.

Remember when Caddy kicked four (cos they were handed to him in the goal square) but missed all four set shots - which weren't gimmie's I'll grant you.

Assuming Townsend can kick straight again then even if he only gets a couple of goals we're actually in front. Can't afford to move him out. A defensive forward who will kick four goals if he gets four kicks is a bloody unnerving proposition for an opposition backline.

At worse he can go the knuckle and KO Taylor and Dangerfield

If a defensive forward kicks eleven goals in two games we should stop him defending and let him kick eleven in a game. Or twenty. Why not a hundred?

It's important to our game plan that we don't win by ten. Goals

How did he not get AA forward? Hoe many of the AA forwards kicked 11 in 2 weeks?

Buddy kicked 13

He's overrated though

Think other clubs will copy us and play mediums as second tall forwards that can apply defensive pressure and not allow intercept marks

Trade bait. If he continues his finals form he is worth a 1st round pick.

Youre joking. Who we going to replace Mr September with the Very vibrant Lennon?

Hey show some respect for Mr November

 

[ahyeahnah]

He is a very good player and has had to work very hard to get a spot in the team. He is composed and hard at every contest. His rise is probably the reason why Lennon gets overlooked yet again

Hardwick said today 'And we've found a second key forward in Jacob Townsend at the moment. He's been incredible.' NSW's man stays.

Jake is to our finals campaign, what the Iklwa was to Shaka Zulu.

He's revolutionary, versatile and unpredictable

If he doesnt kick goals, or draw a key back, he can break someone in half.

he could do all three.

He could be a homecoming hero in 40 years

Could be? will be!

Always a fear when a low profile player goes on media street before a big game but Robbo has done a great read on Townsend.

I wonder with Caddy coming back does Dimma pull a swifty and play JT as a Selwood tag?

*smile* no.

 

[turk-d-tiger]

Wouldn't suprise me if Dimma throws down the challenge to Caddy and says - You want midfield , This is your chance danger is yours head to head

Danger & Selwood must be tagged

 

[TJsFurrow]

More likely to use Lambert in a run-with scenario IMO. Cotchin or even Grigg could put some extra defensive work into one of them if needed too.
No use messing with Royce Townsend's mojo.

Towner must play forward full stop.
