Some players make the ball obey them ... Jack is one of those.
Peter Hudson also told the ball what to do ... now Jack is overtaking him ... 
Sorry mate but Hudson and Jack are poles apart. I find it amazing that any one could put em in the same group.
That is no slurr on JR but Hudson was an absolute freak and if not for knee injuries would have been the greatest full forward of all time imo.He just kept on kicking goals no matter what.
Ironic how it panned out Both Hudson and Hart the two greatest Tassie fwds produced imo. were both cut down by knee injuries Hudsons basically costing 5 seasons when he was in his prime.
Still in his his 129 games he kicked 727 goals at what is still unbeaten by anyone an average of 5.64 goals a game.
Two different types of players, you're right Huson was a freak, could read the drop of the ball like no one else, Jack is a football genius can read tha play like I've never seen before.
I was "lucky" enough to play in an exhibition match in Lonny back in 1983 against a Tassy Superules Rep team. Huddo was flown by chopper from Hobart to York Park as it was back then,. He landed at the ground at 1/2 time, he was overweight, unfit, couldn't run & still kicked 6 goals in the last half. I was mesmerized by his reading of the fall of the ball. Being able to be in position for the ball to just fall into his hands, freakish. I've never seen anything like it before or since.
But Jack is a much smarter player, head reads the play much better & could play in other positions, whereas Huddo was far more limited as to where he could play, he was very slow.
Ironically Hydro should have played for the Tigers but the Hawks trumped us.
