Jacko plays his 100th on Sunday...
Jackson will join fellow Tiger centurions Chris Newman (192), Brett Deledio (145), Brad Miller (142), Shane Tuck (135) and Nathan Foley (105).
Over his 99 league appearances, he has averaged just over 17 disposals per game and been a valuable member of the side, renowned for his grunt work in the midfield.

Congrats Jacko.... :clapping
Hopefully his kids can play ie. kick, make good decisions..... :pray
-
Chair him off.
-
He'll be captain.
He'll lead the team out.
He'll toss the coin.
He'll address the team pre game.
He'll kill the footy.
-
I remember abc commentators saying that when we lost to St Kilda a couple of years back Jackson was gone. Well he has survived rightly or wrongly. Not his biggest fan but well done to him reaching 100 games. Hopefully will give him more trade currency
-
He will consistently give his gun opponent a 10m head start.
He will 9 iron the ball to an opposition player, with nearly every kick.
He will average 0.5 tackles a quarter....

Well done Jacko :clapping

Worst bit is we won't even get a father son out of him because no women of suitable genetic ability will stoop to a ginge.
-
Get stuffed Jackson.
You are effing poo.
-
haha damn. what a tribute to the man
good luck Jacko but you should be playing your 100th at Coburg
-
Good onya Jacko, yr the new Tivva :clapping
-
Chair him off.
Chair him off the list :)
-
Good onya Jacko, yr the new Tivva :clapping
Thats harsh on Tivva.
Tivva was maligned but could play.
Jackson is maligned and can't play.
Id say Jackson is the new Josh Thurgood.

Josh Thurgood was brittle like a toothpick. Easily broken.
I see Jako as the heavyweight boxer Peter McNeeley. He'll talk the talk threaten to wrap you up in his cocoon of horror and by the time it took Mike Tyson to knock him out you'll be out of your seat screaming for the sub to be enforced even if that means Mitch Farmer or Benny Nason is coming on.
-
Hope he has lots of sons and his talent misses a generation.
-
Pope.
You are a pig when it comes to Jacko.
Did he stuff ya mrs?
You don't think he can play, and that's your view. Personally I think he is shizen as well.
But your hatrid is getting boring.
-
I know Jacko is this year's whipping boy along with Edwards but he doesn't pick himself in the side or stay on our list. Until our list gains some more quality and some depth so we can replace most of our current list then these "non-favourite" players (understatement) will continue to get regular senior games.
-
That's why I like reading your postings MT. You are a realist and see it as it is. :thumbsup
-
I understand there are whipping boys.
Edwards happens to be mine.
I just don't see the point of telling a player "get stuffed jacko, you are effing poo" on a thread about him making 100 games.
Pope's posts are sometimes the most interesting to read and well informed, Jacko and the butcher v martin tigermonk BS have got old.

Jackson sees improvement ahead

-------------------------------------------------------------------
On the eve of his 100th AFL game, Richmond midfielder Daniel Jackson says he believes the next phase of his career will provide the on-field success that has eluded him so far.
The 25-year-old commerce student has never played in a final, and has played in 29 wins, 67 losses and three draws since he was selected by the Tigers with pick No.53 in the 2003 NAB AFL Draft.
Despite that, Jackson believes the Tigers are moving in the right direction, and that the second half of his career will produce much more success than the first.
"Another 100 [games] would be a big call … but I'm more confident now than I have been for the whole time I've been at the club," he said on Tuesday.
"We've got the right people and there's something I've picked up over the years - if you get the right people with the right character, they're going to find a way to get the job done.
"That's what we've got at the moment. They're young and they're a bit inexperienced but we're all striving in the same direction and it's just a matter of time now."
Jackson, who has taken seven years to complete his university degree and is one year away from graduating, is a strong believer in life away from football.
He's an avid Tweeter - taking to the social media forum to express his views on the US debt crisis as recently as Monday - and his Twitter profile describes him as, "A footballer with an opinion, a taste for good food, an ear for live music and a love of travel".
He encourages other players at the club to "have balance" in their lives as well, to help them escape from what has been often the harsh reality of playing for a struggling side.
"It is one of the things that has kept me sane, especially through stressful times over the years, just to have other things to fall back on," he said.
"Whether it's study, or tweeting and trying to keep out of trouble there, or even travel at the end of the year, if you have those things to fall back on, life just continues on as it needs to."
Jackson won't have his family at Sunday's clash with West Coast at Patersons Stadium - as his parents have "picked the favourite child" and gone to Amsterdam to watch his brother row in the Under 23 World Championships.
He'll have friends there instead to witness something he's pretty pleased about achieving after a workmanlike eight years.
"I was never going to be one of the stars of the competition. I'm just one of the guys that has to do his job and as one of the leaders, look after the after guys," he said.
"That's what I pride myself on doing. If I play another 50 games like that, I'll be very happy with my career.
"I was drafted was as a 17-year-old and I was pretty raw, and I thought I'd be lucky to play 20 games, and then I got to 50, and here I am playing 100.
"Probably it's taken a bit of luck with circumstance with where I've been for the last eight years but I'm looking forward to the next 50 because I think they're going to take us to the big places."
It will take some doing to get a favourable result on Sunday, with the Eagles winning their past seven games at home, and five of their last six against the Tigers at the Perth stadium.
Jackson says while the Tigers can take heart from the Eagles' 12-month turnaround that has seen them go from 16th at this stage of last season to fifth this year, they'll take more from a win over a potential top four team.
"We could be playing one of the lesser teams this week and we could win and people would be happy that we did but if we go over to Perth and beat the Eagles, people will certainly be turning heads and saying that maybe we haven't quite hit the wall as other people has suggested," he said.
"It has been a tough month but we certainly haven't hit a wall. There's still five games to go, we've got a lot we can achieve, and there are a lot of teams that are a bit older that might not see it the same way.
"With a young group, there's just so much more you can do. You can build momentum, you can get young guys experience, you can have guys that may not have found form all year find it and it just means their pre-season is so much better for it.
"We've got plenty to gain and that's the way we're going to attack it."

Jacko was on SEN earlier this arvo. Here's the audio:
http://www.sen.com.au/audioplayer/Audio/Dan-Jackson-on-his-100th-Match/2795
He admitted we play better against sides where there's nothing to lose and we can throw caution to the wind. Whereas against lowly sides where we were expected to win the mentality is different as being a young side we lack that mental maturity and expectation weighs us down.

sounds like there are some who are afraid to fail.

That's scarred, not scared.
I'm referring to anyone that been at the club under previous regimes, which pretty much refers to lack of leadership success.
-
Leadership? Bloody hell when was the last time we had leadership?

Scans clear Jackson

Robust Richmond midfielder Daniel Jackson has escaped serious injury to his right leg and is confident he will be available to play in Sunday’s Round 21 clash with the Sydney Swans at the MCG.
Jackson hurt his leg when he accidentally kicked West Coast opponent Matt Rosa’s knee, during the third quarter of last Sunday’s match at Subiaco.
Both players were subsequently subbed out of the game, with Rosa now expected to be sidelined for around four weeks with a damaged posterior cruciate ligament.
The news for Jackson, however, is significantly better . . .
“I think I’ve dodged a bullet there,” he told the Roar Vision Review on the Club’s website today (August 9).
“We had the scans yesterday and there’s no crack.
“It’s just a little bit sore, but I’m every chance to play this week.
“I’m just resting up now, but hopefully will train later in the week and it will be fine.”
