24 touches and 2 goals while keeping the worlds best afl footballer to his second lowest possie count and goalless.
If he plays that well every week, we can build a bronze statue of him outside Punt Rd Oval.
In the meantime, if he can hold his level to 2013 standards with the odd big game - ie yesterday - when we need it - great.
He won us the game yesterday
“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.

I noted that in the press conference Jacko said something like ..... "it stands me in good stead for the rest of my career, ..... however long that lasts".  He didn't seem particularly happy when he said it.  I wonder if that has anything to do with contract discussions?

With his current form he is entitled to ask for 3 years on decent $$$ but we shouldn't be stupid enough to give it to him. As good as he has been he could revert to his ass form at any time.

6. Daniel Jackson has become an offensive threat

No longer a pure lockdown tagger, the Richmond midfielder can hurt his opponent the other way as he demonstrated on Saturday night, taking the points in his battle with Brownlow medallist Gary Ablett. Jackson had 24 possessions at Cazalys Stadium, including a game-high eight clearances and two goals in a best-on-ground performance. While Ablett still finished with 26 possessions, it was a below-par performance for the star midfielder. The key to Jackson's recent development has been shaking hamstring tendonitis and doing extra work on his disposal efficiency and decision making. – Nathan Schmook

When the going was tough Chaplin was huge

Had an opponent on the last line and beat him. Often.



I'm thrilled with Chaplin and think his composure is a huge positive for us. But at 195cm and 98kg he's hardly a boy and yesterday he played spare and manhandled a few kids.

Jackson played against the best player the AFL has seen for a good decade or more to be conservative, and beat him too.

Reckon Chaplins "composure" is a tad overrated

Muscles ask Kim Hagdorn. He will be able to answer your question with absolute certainty!  ;D

Valuable Richmond midfielder Daniel Jackson is reaping the rewards of a return to full fitness this year.

Jackson, who battled a nagging hamstring problem for a couple of years, is in career-best form in season 2013, averaging 21.4 disposals per match and figuring prominently in several key on-field categories at the Club.

He is ranked No. 4 for total disposals, No. 3 for contested possessions, No. 2 for inside-50 entries and No. 1 for tackles.
