Daniel Jackson [merged]

[Judge Roughneck]

For jackson to be.in the team ahead of batchelor is strange.

[WilliamPowell]

Yep Jackson had a shocker. But I agree with WP re post. I had concerns about Post being selected in the first place. He hasn't shown a whole lot in the pre-season so why give him a start over the likes of Batch? He was slow and his poor decision making killed us. In the GWS game, when Batch came on our drive out of the backline improved immediately.

Would think tiga that Post being in the side was more to do with the fact he is a KPP (well he has the size of a KPP ) where as Batch is a HBF come Mid-Fielder.... would certainly have Batch in the side but you'd need to replace him with a mid rather than a KPP

Jackson should just do what he does best start a fight, knock over a few blokes get all the fans excited, get reported & then suspended. Everyones happy & we don't look as soft as we did last night.

And where is the protection for Cotchin. Carlton put a tag on him to stop his influence wouldve been a good time for a so called leader like Jackson to give the tag a good hip & shoulder or rough him up alittle. This is what I like to see blokes sticking up for their mates taking no poo. 
When Ablett was at Geelong he got plenty of help & protection. We need our leaders to show something in this regard.
Fortunately for Cotch he has enough class to still impact the game even when there's noone standing up to protect him.

While understanding what you are saying Tucker and agreeing with you

What is an indictment on our team last night is the fact Jackson wasn't actually the worst

That IMHO goes to Post    & Vickery with his Falou type stats 

I agree with you WP but IMHO and Vickery and Post should have the riot act read to them especially Vickery as Hampson played the ruck fwd role for the filth beautifully something Vickery was awful at but Vickery has upside and he had a poor game and I expect him to improve from this whereas Jako has been here for 9 seasons and his best is still terrible. He is a lost footy player Jako. All at sea is Jako and players with his experience should be carrying us to victory not hanging off the play and when they get involved you wish they didn't.
As for Post last night showed how slow of mind and body he is. When he got caught in posession in the first quarter I cringed so much and thought this kid will not make it and the rest of the game proved this. Too slow of mind and body.

Just a dumb footballer, slow of mind and body, has me scratching my head what value the coaching panel see in him

An example of Hardwicks short-sightedness and evidence that he has "wanker pets"
Clearly.

Agree with you Tucker on all points

Think there is a bit of difference between Jackson and those 2. Jayden is 22 years old and played 23 games, Tyronne is 21 and played 45. Both weren't serviceable last night but don't even come close that is the catastrophe that is Daniel Jackson.

Great Post.

The best thing he did last night was to drop that mark in the 3rd which led to us kicking a goal. If Jackson had held the mark it would have gone out on the full. Drop him. Was ineffective as a tagger

You are right 

Jayden has played only 23 games and based on last night is going backwards. You can't have  KPP back pulling out of contests, whether they've played 223 games, 23games or for just 23 minutes

Vickery - had a shocker. Totally unacceptable

Jackson's played more and isn't going backwards, he's stuck in the one spot - so we know what we are going to get

But at the end of the day IMV yesterday while Jackson was bad, Post & Vickery were pathetic = the worst 2 for us last night by a country mile
