2005/2006 is how i always remembered it and part time before. He learnt from the best in Miller no wonder he is that good at his job.
both articles full of spin and hype.
how anyone can call
vickery pick 8. 6 yrs in, a success gotta be kidding. i suppose one barely decent yr in 6 makes him a success.
jon pick 8 05 utter failure.
griffiths pick 19 09 5yrs in. hes been ordinary.even his best yr this yr was average at best.young tall it may be hes just taking a bit of time to get there but no way you can call him a success.
conca pick 6 2010. four yrs in and fair dinkum he looks nothing more than average at pick 6 ffs. almost a failed pick when you consider what was overlooked.
ellis pick 15 hes a very good uncontested player but lousy when it comes to the other side of things.
vlastuin pick 9 i like him a lot but ffs hes coming off the 2nd yr blues.how any one can call him a success is beyond me.may be we wait until he actually proves himself.
lennon pick 12 too early has skill but has weaknesses that are a concern. surely they arent claiming him a success just yet.
just how good has his jacksons first round picks been.imo no where near as good as the club and the journos make out certainly not the above ones anyway.
fair dinkum the only two picks im prepard to give him any credit for are riewoldt at 13 and rance at 18.
he couldnt get cotchin and martin wrong at 2 and 3.at least with these two he had enough sense to take what certainly appeared to be the best players available at these picks.
why does the club thru the media always have to put the best possible spin on things. ffs jacksons record is not good so why dont they just shut up rather than try and con us supporters all the time.
it concerns me that rather than see a problem, and there is a big problem, they defend what they shouldnt thru the media. it almost head in sand stuff.
yes francis is better than the last bloke we had but hes way short of what we need.you only need look at his overall record over the last 10 yrs.
10 yrs and the best we have become is a middling team.
the above is reasonable. it is nothing great like it being reported. surely we are looking to do better.excellence is what we are after here not just okay.
couple the above with the rest of his nd picks 2nd 3rd 4th rounds etc, his rookie picks and imo its a fail.
