Daniel Jackson [merged]

Jacko's got injury niggles.  That's probably the reason for his recent slump in form.

I wouldn't even say it's a slump in form. Just a couple of quiet quarters, eveyone has them, DJ has certainly raised the bar on himself this year which is why we've even noticed that!

Well he did say in his article in the Age the other day that he enjoys his own company

In Jacko, I finally see we have a player that when he goes to line up against an opposition player at the start of a match they go "Oh crap!!" as they know they are in for a bit of close attention and some hard footy.

Well done Jacko! The hard nut we have been missing in our team for some time.

Correct. He has injury niggles, but I wouldn't call his recent form a slump.... it's just that a few others have tried a bit of gut running too and found it works...... so he doesn't stand out quite as much.

A quality young man.

Jacko said the other day he'd like a second break during the season so that may be a clue he's carrying some niggle that just needs a week off to settle down.

Summary

* Disappointing year but we want to now finish off the season strong.

* Jade coming in has got the attention and media off our backs. There's now a simple gameplan and with the young guys coming in it's been good. Richie Tambling for instance has really come on.

* Jacko credits his better year on being fitter than ever after a good preseason.

* He's just not a stopper otherwise mentally it would be tough. He's been working on finding that balance between tagging and still be creative and winning your own footy.

* Jade has brought a focus on the defensive side of the game. It's not that we didn't work on that before but Jade had simplied it and looking out for each other out there. Brett (Lids) is an example of what we've all gone through. Jacko said he knows how he hates being tagged and Lids has had to cop that more than the rest of us.

* Ling being voted sexiest footballer is a win for all our kind (redheads) .. laughs

It's not unusual for players to publicly praise a new coach especially after a win but there's been a few subtle and less than subtle whacks at the former coach in the last few days from the players referring to a lack of communication.

Good list but its a fail- theres no souvlaki joint and no souvlaki joint means fail. Infact he should go back to coburg for not having listed a good souvlaki joint.

Common smoke, even you realise this, the lad is playing for Richmond and in Richmond the souvlaki rules- or atleast it did 30 years ago lol. The kid needs to learn about the benefits of lamb gyros souvlaki.

[Smokey]

I do, that's why I laughed at it - a funny yet true post!!

[Ramps]

On another matter anyone reckon that young Elroy has ever seen a lamb gyros souvlaki?

[rufio_1991]

Can anyone give me a rough idea of who jackson has played the tagging role on this year and how he has done on them?
just really intrested.
seeing that dane swan has racked up a heap for the last cople of weeks maybe jackson can take him on?
