Played some decent footy as a young bloke being supported by superstars. Now that they're gone, it's caught him out.

Will always respect him for his efforts in his early years, especially the prelim in 2019 but it is time to go.

7 years in the system as a midfielder and has never managed to average 20 touches for a year.

Have always liked the way he goes about it but obviously the gap between his best and his normal is far too great.

Reminds me of Conca a bit. Nice bloke, bit of skill, but largely average at everything with no great talent in anything specific.

Maybe he is playing the role required.. we have never been a high possession team for years. Every player has his role.Dimma praised fridge many many times for for what role he played. One thing is for sure , he is our only player that knows how to tackle!

When sprinting, he looks like he is running in a sumo suit
“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.

Have always been a Fridge fan - he's exactly the kind of player that premiership teams need: dedicated role player that happily sacrifices possessions, personal glory etc etc for the good of his teammates. And he has a fantastic tank which has kept him in the side for years. He's been absolutely crucial to our defensive running patterns and structure for a long time.

On the flip side, if he comes back from injury and has a good year, then I'd look at a trade. But not if he has an injury-riddled bad year. I'd hold then for one more year until his trade value bounces. No point trading premiership role players for peanuts.

He’s out of contract at seasons end.

Jack isn't as slow as many of you exaggerate that he is, and you all seem to forget how important he was . Amazing how you all target him yet say nothing about Grimes. He has been pathetic for 3 year now.

So many assumptions, says more about you than me. Maybe Jack rejected you, you're just very bitter about it. Sounds about right to me
