He is a stuffing idiot with no concept of being part of a team.

He may as well have said the coach is poohouse, which may well be true, but you don't say it to the media when you're a player.
Who isn't a fan of the thinking man's orange Tim Fleming?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

From what I understand Jack copped it on AFL360 for his comments

Foolish or not give him credit for his honesty, a refreshing change

Something sadly lacking in all the things we've seen in the media this year

Yes.

It would mean something if his performances on field were somewhat honest.

Yep I prefer that from the club rather than spin and just taking the pee

Agree. The club needs to be honest. Sick to death of the propaganda coming from the club.

There are currently only a handful of teams playing honest, attractive attacking footy ATM. Hawthorn, Geelong, Port, and maybe Sydney since the AFL gifted them a crème de la crème forward line (before that they were one of the worst culprits for playing negative schizen.) And Jack is on the money when he says that we tried to emulate the Hawthorn style. Dimma did learn from Clarkson after all. It worked for us to a degree last year. The problem is (a) The game has become even more defensive this year. I hoped with Freo losing the GF last year that clubs would follow the Hawthorn model, but sadly this hasn't been the case. The rolling rugby scrum is definitely in vogue. (b) Sides have collectively worked us out, that the best way to stop us is to create congestion (c) We don't have the quality to emulate the Hawthorn style which is a possession and quality disposal game anyway.

You can't spin 16th, even Jack can see that.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I'd also add that Jack certainly wont endear himself to Hardwick with those comments either. They appear to have not been on the same page in the first place with Jack's mysterious demotion from the leadership group. Now having him criticize the coaches game plan will probably get him even further off-side.

Cocahes had nothing to do with Jack being removed for the leadership group

Players vote on the leadership group, they pick 'em, they flick 'em  ;D

Coaches have final say in Captain & V-Captain + deputy Vice Captain if they chose to have one. They

But the actual leadership group is voted on by the players & Coaches and the majority of votes for each candidate determines who's in and who's out.

So seeing there are more players voting than coaches , it's how the "Leading teams" model works and that is the model we follow

So as I said they pick 'em, they flick 'em  ;D

Now Hardwicks threatening to axe Jack for his comments. You weak prick Hardwick, you will axe someone for FINALLY telling the truth but you condone the players that play like poo. No wonder we are all stuffed up.
