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.

Well said Smokey.

Action Jackson

RICHMOND midfielder Daniel Jackson took eight years to complete his Bachelor of Commerce at Melbourne University.

It is a three-year degree.

Jackson is not slack, or silly either.

Such are the time demands now made on AFL footballers it's becoming increasingly difficult – even for the most driven of players such as Jackson – to complete a long-term education program.

As the environment changed, Jackson knew the only way he would possibly complete the course he began when he first joined Richmond was if he created a hectic routine for himself.

He has stuck to that routine for the past three years.

Wow! Daniel Jackson worked AND studied at the same time!
Is there anything this man can't do?

[Eat_em_Alive]

I think good on him, especially the demands that are placed on these players.

All good for the jonathon browns, abletts, judds when they retire I'm sure there will be something waiting for them. But for the other guys, no education or skills and pffft nothing!

I understand why the AFL demands are so high and rigourous as they are, but surely a sound emphasis on education and skill sets is just as important, I know the clubs do help with this but the AFL in general I'm not so sure about

Especially with the uncertainty that comes with it. Just living from one contract to the next. Something academic or a skill set is great for every professional AFL footballer to be able to fall back on. Reckon more than half wouldn't even know how to weld.

[DCrane]

Welding? That's an odd example to use, I think you could count on one hand the number of Carey graduates that went on to become welders lol

[Judge Roughneck]

Should have spent this time trying to improve kicking skills,understanding of the game etc.

Will make a very competent club administrator one day.

Not really though. Just picked an easy yet practical skill that you can be qualified or just be competent in with a short TAFE course. Most people who can't weld (just for example) don't need to know because they have other skills. There are very few jobs that having AFL experience will land you outside of playing it.

If I've explained that well enough and you understand what I mean lol

Richmond's Daniel Jackson the bolter on AFL player power list

    Jon Ralph
    From: Herald Sun
    March 05, 2013

JUST how do you quantify a player's power for a neat and tidy list of 10?

Their ability to shift vast quantities of AFL merchandise from supermarket shelves?

The price they can demand to appear on the football shows that saturate the media?

Or the quiet work they do behind the scenes that actually influences policy and shapes opinions in our game?

Because Buddy Franklin is the king of merchandise, Dane Swan the must-have interview and Adam Goodes the indigenous statesman with a political career beckoning.

Yet a self-described battler with a self-depreciating wit has swept into the players' power list with a bullet.

When the player union chose a representative to sit on Channel 7s drugs summit panel it was Richmond's Daniel Jackson answering the hard questions with aplomb.

It was Jackson marching alongside Brock McLean at a recent gay rights rally; it was him accepting the Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award at last year's Brownlow Medal.

Jackson shows what an extraordinary platform is avaiable for AFL players prepared to publicly push worthy messages.

But he also underlines the missed opportunity for other players given many are too obsessed with the train-play-recover cycle to put their profile to good use.

Should now command, at a minimum, a top ten pick in the 2013 trade period.
