Stop hounding the bloke. I have often seen people refer to players/coaches etc as "cancers" to their clubs. Has happened on here quite a few times.

Bents obviously didn't mean to have a go at anyone who has suffered from cancer. My uncle died from bowel cancer and I don't find it offensive at all.

I'm still trying to get over the notion that there are people who are not locked away in some dark dungeon that actually believe that Jackson would be a good option for the captaincy

He's also not an option as a trade because "no one can play his role"

[Penelope]

 
hmm actually there may be something to that.
who else have got that can play the role of slow to work out what to do with the ball but quick to get sucked in to giving away stupid free kicks/getting reported, combined with dodgy disposal?

[Coach]

There are others who can do that role but no one does it better than our Jacko.

[Willy]

Yes, he does seem to be in a league of his own when it comes to playing the role of 'undisciplined blunderer'.

Good on him for winning that award tho.

Stynes Award an honour: Jackson
By Daniel Jackson

I thought I’d take the opportunity to thank everyone for their great support since Monday night.

It was an absolute honour to receive the inaugural Jim Stynes Community Leadership award, especially at the Brownlow, the night of nights.

I am very humbled to even have been considered for an award associated with a man of the calibre of Jim Stynes.

A well written article, good on Jacko for his sentiments and his efforts in the community.  And on that note, I thought it spoiled a powerful and poignant moment on Brownlow night when he wasn't given the opportunity to speak after being presented with the award.  I know words can be shallow, especially on the big stage, but Brian Styne's emotion was palpable and the whole segment needed a speech from the winner to round it all off.  Just my take.

We need this quality of person around the club to provide a role model for the young people on our list

A keeper for this reason alone.

Pretty poor from the RFC if Jackson is around because of what he is like as a person and not for his football ability.

[Penelope]

could always delist him and keep him on as community liasion officer, perhaps even as a runner or water boy for match day involvement.

That wouldnt be so bad?

Very true.

Quote from a family member when Jacko won the award:
"Sheesh did you see all the things Daniel Jackson is involved in! Geez he must be a smart and talented bloke ... (pauses) ... well except for when he has a football in his hands."
