I liked the good old days when a player kicks two goals in the last quarter of a tight match we'd get around him & pat him on the back!  "Thanks for winning the game for us Jack!" we'd say.       
Now, alas, we sit back in our lounge chairs & post smack on the internet about the guy who got us over the line ... all because he hasn't won 5 Brownlows yet or broken any land speed records this week. 

Thanks Jack, I hope you upset people every week!        :gotigers

Suggest you watch a replay and look at his disposal first three quarters

How much do we think he’s improved since the 2017 GF?
“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.

Remains his best game - and by some margin.  :shh

Suggest you watch a replay and look at his disposal first three quarters

Diabolical

In fairness so was most of the teams disposal in the first 2-3 quarters... ;D

Across the match his disposal efficiency % is better than Taranto and on par with Hoppers  :rollin

I don't pay much attention to stats but was interested this week and last week to discuss eff% numbers because our disposal overall was diabolical over 6.5 of the last 8vquarters of footy we've played

I'll watch the replay sometime over the weekend but from my vantage point in the Ponsford stand I thought he was good.

He’s had 12 disposals in the first three quarters for five CLANGERS

Every time he touched it was heart in mouth

Will be interested in your views after watching the replay and concentrating on it

Yep some his kicks coming out of defence were diabolical, then there was that shocking attempt on goal from 20 out that went low and flat and straight into the group of Sydney defenders all standing in the way.

And then he kicked an important goal from 55m and don't forget the match winning goal, but hey, let's keep bagging him ::)
