RICHMOND onballer Daniel Jackson says there will be no excuses for failure next season.
After two seasons under coach Damien Hardwick, Jackson said yesterday it was time for the Tigers to stop falling back on inexperience and deliver.
"We are looking to really have a crack next year," Jackson said.
"The first two years are more of a learning experience; a lot of young guys who hadn't even played five games, but have now played 50; the senior players are a lot more experienced now.
"The last two years we had people making excuses for us and at times I suppose we had reasons why we weren't doing so well, but those are out the door from now on."
The Tigers finished 15th and 12th in Hardwick's first two seasons, but Jackson said the club's expectations had lifted across the board.
"Our performance has to raise as well," he said.
"If we keep going as we are, then we are heading in the right direction.
"If we had had a few better games this year we would have been cutting it close (to finals).
"We want to improve so it (finals) is certainly on the horizon - that's what everyone aims for."
With games against Carlton, Geelong, Collingwood and West Coast in the first five weeks of the season, Jackson said the Tigers had the chance to set the foundations for their year early.
"Footy is such a confidence game and if you can pull off some of those bigger scalps, especially earlier in the season ... it can really set you up for the rest of your year," he said.
"The best sides are the ones that consistently beat the teams above them, so that's what we need to start doing and that's going to be one of our goals."

The club and players need to learn that while making finals is a goal for every team when you say it publicly the media will always spin it as an expectation which can come back and bite us in the arse if we don't look like making them through the season.
Also Daniel good teams consistently beat teams below them as well. I think we should strive more to do that next year(given we lost to port and gold coast this year).

What about DJ's excuse for a football brain?

What about DJ's excuse for 9-ironing every kick directly to an opposition player?

I'm just relieved that youwould seem to have found a favourite players for 2012 now :rollin :thumbsup
But I have to agree with Davey, using Dan Jackson as you evidence is fought with massive danger :rollin :rollin
Actually I wonder if the meda bothered to ask Dan if there would be "no more excuses" regarding his ill discipline on the footy field

-
GO DAN, B&F next year... :lol
If he wins the B&F it will surely be an excuse
-
:lol :rollin

Mods can we please this thread with Ramps "gimic" thread. It is just extending the audience from posters into the playing list :banghead
-
I want to be serious for a moment.
It is my firm belief that if the AFL required all players to obtain a license to play football by answering a series of multiple choice questions, testing their knowledge of the rules, scoring system, positions etc then Jackson would fail.

Hey guys, don't forget Jacko is the one playing afl, not us. All the baggers in here are probably fat slobs and kick like woman. Bit of perspective here 8)

I'm a better kick than Jackson.
So is my daughter.

He's better than you so don't pay out on him :thumbsup. I played school footy but after year 12 I started going to see the Tiges instead of playing.
-
So you haven't played a game of senior football and you're telling others that they're fat slobs who kick like women? You're telling me not to pay out on someone because they're better than I am? Well, I am better than you so get a dog up ya and stop acting like a hero.

I dobbed goals from 50m goal post height and outmarked every punk at school :thumbsup

Daniel 'In Chains' Jackson
It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search for peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or disguising truths I've sold
Everyday it's something hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself, no excuses, then I know
It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well you're drowning in it too
Everyday it's something hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself, no excuses, then I know
Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I love you anyway
Everyday it's something hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself, no excuses, then I know ......

You didn't play the game after you were 18 years old. You played school football, not senior football. You're excuse is that you "went to watch Richmond play" instead of going on with your footy. Obviously you were a rat poo footballer that had no chance of getting anything out of it. There's nothing wrong with that, just don't come on here say poo like "he's better than you so you can't say anything" when you've obviously achieved jack poo

I could play, just didn't wanna play. Wanted to watch the tiges instead of playing in amatuer leagues in front of 50 people. I'd have no problem playing senior footy. Have the pace, size, skill and athleticism. Whether I played after school or not means stuff all :thumbsup

:lol
too easy. you talk yourself up an absolute treat :thumbsup I reckon you'd nearly be as good at CHF as Lukey McGuane in the Broadbeach days

Nah just saying we shouldn't be bagging our own players :laugh: . Jacko isn't that bad a player. Yeah he's sprayed the occasional kick and lost the ball under pressure in past season but I think he improved in these areas in 2011. Did his hammy in the preseason too so did well to get through the year. Think his size, grunt, fitness, experience and improvement will be pretty handy from now on. I think he's a better option than Tuck and Grigg over the next few seasons. Wish we kept Collins.
-
I agree! I actually have a lot of time for Jackson, God at one stage a couple of years ago he was just about our best player. He is hard, fit as hell and can run all day, take the hard hits......actually do you know what I would be tempted to play him as a pinch hitter in the fed line.
He does let himself down on occasion with stupid reports and some decisions but with the players we have around him next year he will either perform or fail.
But I wll give hi the chance, same as Edwards.... :shh
-
Mate, he is poohouse.
And ginger.
-
Sadly as much as things are changing for the better at Tigerland, the Club still needs to learn to keep its mouth shut. Obviously some are getting ahead of themselves and where we are at :scream.
-
Jacko can talk all he wants but he's got to get a game first.

May sound harsh but it would be a sign of the team's improvement and improved overall ability if Jacko was forced out of the side and couldn't get a game due to the young guys.
-
Well I rate Jackson better than Edwards.
-
Jaxkson has the same rotten attitude as Bowden did,
ie-the club couldnt do without him

Ah ok then, I didn't realise that.... :-*

I disagree.
Edwards is a natural footballer still with upside. Jackson isn't & doesn't.

Edwards it too scared of contact, can't put his head over the ball and can't win it either. Jackson might let himself down on occasion with his kicking but so does Edwards, the difference is Edwards is gutless, turns the ball over and gets caught a lot.
Time will thell though!!! Hopefully we are both wrong and they have cracking seasons... :thumbsup

Dont think its flat our wrong Willy, but hey thats your opinion.....I have mine.
-
Skill weaknesses - Yes.
Fear of contact - No
Name a time when Titch has shirked a contest, or failed to put his head over the pill...?
Your just fabricating deficiencies because you dont rate him as a player.
-
I disagree

Seeing he got his jaw broken in 2012 for going in low to get the ball I dont think you can say he is scared of contact and wont put his head over the ball
-
I have seen him pull out of plenty of contests, he waits for the ouside ball, thats how he plays.
He only had his jaw broken because he is made of glass, his Mum probably gave him that after the game.
Jacksons a lot tougher..IMO
I will rate him as a player when he actually plays like one.
-
Edwards squibbed a few contests in his early days but he didn't last season. Far from gutless
-

Can't agree with you on Edwards courage WAT. I don't think lack of courage over the ball is his short suit at all.
-
Its a juvenile arguement, Titch might have his short comings but bravery isnt one of them.
-
Considering his size and the clearances he wins, questioning his courage is way off the mark. To be built like him and to put himself in the position he does takes a lot of courage, more so that a solidly built player
-
Courage is certainly not an issue for Edwards.
Skill by foot at pace,
decision making to a leading forward,
strength in the contested tackling situation,
inability to beat an opponent in a genuine 1-on1,
lack of semi-contested overhead marking,
keeping the feet in impact traffic,
getting rag dolled & bumped from position,
gut busting tactical running,
inability to kick goals,
lack of left sided handball skill.
And that's just the surface .....
But does have courage for a SANFL level player.

Um....sorry but isnt this what he should have as the Job Description for an AFL player.....at any level......very well summed up!!!!! :thumbsup
-
Jackos misses at goal kill us. Kidding yourself if you think otherwise.
-
Edwards has a flaw with his kicking action. He
drop the ball over his foot at a stupid angel.
When it comes off it looks good as the ball moves from right to left in the air but generally he shanks it and the ball slices to the left.
