Nope. Not good enough in the hitouts. Unless he can improve in that area he will always be second rung below the top rucks.Genuinely believe ROB will be a F
Gawn/Grundy for us.

A little bit of Ben Hudson about himI think he'll be somewhere in between Maric and McEvoy. Only average as far as ruck craft goes, but a real competitor around the ground. His turn of pace for a big guy is underrated.
Bit of a rock and hard place for the Giants. Matthew Flynn did his ACL in late July last year, so either you go with the untried youngster in Briggs and hope he can last a season, or you take a punt on Jacobs/Mumford having enough juice between them to get you back into a GF.One of life’s great mysteries is that we as a supporter base can see a player is clearly cooked.
Yet somehow they get traded into a premiership contender as a best 22 player.
It’s bizarre, I just don’t understand how it works. I can understand if Jacobs is a backup.. but he’s their #1 ruck isn’t he? He’s terrible.
2 years guess next year he’ll be that cooked he’ll be Sauce, time for me to stop drinkingBit of a rock and hard place for the Giants.

Thought he won the tap contest early but this is against a non-existance opposition ruckman but around the ground he clearly started to struggle last year and this used to be his strength in his AA contention years.Sam Jacobs is so cooked, wow.
Giants have Pies and Hawks after this.
Could lose both and 1 and 4 in 17 round season.. not ideal start.
Hope not.Genuinely believe ROB will be a F

You can improve ruck craft with the more experience you gain but not competitiveness mindset which he has plenty off and because he has excellent endurance this won't fade during game. The knock on him in the SANFL was his overhead marking which he seem to have improved a lot so work rate is there.....you can't really improve kicking technique for goal though.Nope. Not good enough in the hitouts. Unless he can improve in that area he will always be second rung below the top rucks.
Should probably include Freo in that conversation ..As us and Port have proven, it's hard to recover from GF smashings. The Giants look miles off it.
Should probably include Freo in that conversation ..and they weren't really smashed, just played in possibly the most boring GF this decade
For all the sh*t we cop, they really should cop more criticism as a club. One grand final in 25 years and a sh*t one at that. Just a boring, lifeless, unattractive and unsuccessful entity all round.
Mid table would be a massive win for us. Most would've expected top 4That first rounder is looking juicy. But I think they have too much talent on their list not to finish off mid-table minimum.
MmmmmPerryman is bloody good by foot. I can see why Hamish wanted him. He's out of contract too...
People talk about building a team around certain players. To me, ROB has had some games that put him in that discussion. Last week for instance. We were getting bashed but the big fella played like there was only a couple of points in it. Kept at it with great big man strength and skill with no support. I can see him carrying a team on his shoulders.Genuinely believe ROB will be a F

I haven’t seen the game, but I’m taking it that they actually look putrid transitioning out of defense? Because we sure as hell are.A very good start. Look just like us transitioning out of defence.
We will overpay after 5 years at Gws giver her a long 5 year contract where she will play reserves for her last 2 years of that contract thereby generating the thread headlineWe'll never get her she's in the GWS academy/zone/cemetery region they'll just match on points.
SozI just got blocked by Lindy on Twitter. All because I replied to her tweet that Sam Newman should not have been sacked by 9. All I said in reply was that it was about time, I was glad they sacked him and he's had too many chances.
She's done the full Lindy on me.

I think it was King who wrote an article saying that sauce was the missing piece for GWS.It’s funny reading the GWS game thread. It’s like a time warp back to our threads from previous years. Can’t mark around the ground and dominates hit outs to the other team.
From the reservesI think it was King who wrote an article saying that sauce was the missing piece for GWS.
I’m looking forward to his article claiming that Jenkins will lead the cats to the flag.
It's quite humourous isn't it. Couldn't get a gig in front of ROB most of the year for a reason.Jacobs continues to show the footy world he's absolutely cooked. I don't understand why GWS recruited him. It's like they thought his recent poor form was based on Adelaide's poor culture when he's actually just past it.
What about those utter morons Bickley and Rowe complaining about Jacobs being dropped for most of last year. Somebody should show them footage of last nights game and force them to publicly apologise to ROB.It's quite humourous isn't it. Couldn't get a gig in front of ROB most of the year for a reason.
When I said he'd be off to the Giants I got hammered by some less informed...... They're probably wishing they didn't get him.
