This. Called it day 1, Big Jack.
When he blooms he's probably a forward and a new ruck type.

Hogan is in good physical shape and in good form and when right is a seriously good player
for Noah to take his scalp the way he did , massive , it was like a total dismantling
We do seem to like him kicking out of defence , they are a bit random and clearly beats all comers on distance and they aren't floaters like Short's long kicks can be
It would be good to know the coaches thoughts

Proved me right.
Just a reminder of the tenor of posts during last year's pre-season and first few rounds.
Same as moving him forward, no surprise that he is playing his best footy after being left in the one spot for 10 weeks.
Continuity is king.
I've always favoured the Kouta comparison. Bullock of a bloke with surprising agility and will give you a definite pause for thought before standing in front of him when he's at full-tilt. Still don't think you make him a forward, any more than Rance would have made one. I'd love to see him get free up the ground more, and even hit the scoreboard more, but from a defensive position.
Much better aerialist than Rance, and significantly bigger man. The comparisons have to stop.
hmmm - changed me o’l mind I have - defence with the odd time on the ball if we need it is my view now.
We need to find a partner in crime for Ryan long term, hopefully Lynch can come back short term.
As long as JR draws breath on a footy field, and until Gibbo calf offal stem cells bind,
notorius must stay back,
But then, yeah, hes our freak of nature CHF making nick reiwoldt look like josh jenkins, and jim jess, clinton king
Anyone who thinks otherwise has brain problems and should *smile* off and barrack for Gold Coast
It's a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. The backline is a unit and play best when everyone knows their role. If we move Balta forward then everyone moves up the chain of command and I worry that would upset the balance just as we're starting to look strong in defence again.
I'd prefer us to give him an entire preseason to learn and adapt before committing to positional changes.
Yeah, I'm talking next year. Young, Himmelberg, Gibcus back. Lynch, Samson, Balta forward.As long as JR draws breath on a footy field, and until Gibbo calf offal stem cells bind,

Gibcus forward.
You heard it first here.
Marking prowess waisted in the backline.
JackR8 reckons he’s the most athletic footballer he’s seen at Punt Rd.
Balta who?
