Jacks 2013 form - DISCUSS!
« on: September 23, 2013, 03:41:14 PM »
It makes his 2011 season look all that much unattainable.

Looks slower every year and becomes more petulant with every week.

Fwd line functioned in a less psychologically cluttered way in his absence.
Proof his "instructions" evolve completely around him.

Lining up from set shots is a no certainty either.

Considering this bloke is the supposed leader of our finishing end of the ground, it really is no surprise his lackluster finishing has curbed the enthusiasm of the midfield that deliver to him.

I'm aware of the reasoning he has been playing a more team orientated role this year but since when should that interfere with ones main role - presenting as a target, holding grabs instead of appealing for umpire intervention and converting the majority of shots he has?

A bit hard to be critical of him if his number of total score involvements have gone up this year - goals kicked and goal assists. I agree about his kicking.  Nowhere near as accurate or as powerful as other years.  I think his hips are not allowing him to kick through the ball.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

To be honest, I don't think any of our big guns had a good 2013.

The game plan and improvements from lesser lights certainly helped us.

Imagine 2014 with Jack in 2010 form, Cotch, Maric and Deledio in 2013 form, Dustin getting a big wake-up call from this saga and having his best pre-season ever, continued improvement from Vlastuin, Ellis and Conca. Throw in Adams  :pray, McBean marking everything and kicking 175 goals and McDonough, Arnot and Helbig all forcing their way into the side, whoa  :shh
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do

Have to agree with Jack's kicking

Accuracy wise it was below standard

And he was lucky to be able to kick 40 metres this season.

Think he improved in other areas especially in the defensive pressure inside 50 stakes.

A player l don't like watching. Fair dinkum pull ya head in Rewoldt. your embarrassing to watch.

looking for free kicks while the defence is running the ball out 1 man down. Midfielders break their back to send the ball in, Only for you to watch it go out. Trade the sooky bitch  :thumbsup

He had one really good year in 2010. Average since.

I want more competitiveness from him.

is slowly being ground into the dust with injuries and weight of numbers . desperately needs decent support from the other so called gun forward.

He s an undersized key forward that in the modern era is finding it even harder to get the necessary space to get a run at it....talls like Daniher and Mcbean will be the way of the future with the luxury of jr8 in the pocket, #waytogotigers :shh
