burst onto the scene in 2011, didn't look like a first year player.
2012 he plateaued 2nd year blues. Can play. Pick31 would be a steal, I'd throw in the steak knives and get it done. Would slot straight into our side

BJ....log into your own account mate, don't hack Tony's.

I used to work with Ben a few years ago, before he got drafted. Was a little full of himself, but would be a good pickup nonetheless. Went 19 in the draft in 2010 off the top of my head, but went much higher in a few phantom drafts. Kicking an issue, which, given Richmonds awful past with the issue, turns me off, but wouldn't say no!

Strikes me as more an inside type player than outside, has he always been a HB or was he a mid in his junior years?

Apparently we have offered pick 31 for Jacobs. Port want 29 & 50 for Jacobs and their 66.

Personally I have not seen the kid play that much. Saw more of Port in 2011 than this year  and he seemed to be okay in a very poor side.

TM you are quite happy about this.

As I have said I have not seen the kid play that much but TM you seem convinced. :thumbsup

I think both, played genuine mid at TAC but off the HB during the rep games. From memory he picked up 47 touches for VIC metro in one game, so knows how to find the footy. I don't know what his stats have been at senior level though.

Yeah pretty much Tb, like his attack on the footy and his run, has good size and knows how to find it. Think he has a bit to offer. 1st round pick whose had 2 years in the system and played 20-30 games, pick 30ish is a good result.  ;)

think it was last season claw, and had surgery as well from memory for something else

cheers Dougey, doesnt surprise, reckon he could be a candidate to replace Tucky in the guts down the track.

Also I never thought his kicking was bad, made some errors which get magnified in a poor side. Will put my hand up if im wrong though as Im going on about 10-15 games I've seen from him, most last season

pick nine.

And good runs injury: grimes. Grifiths. Foley.

I don't think jackson is close to best 22.
