I feel like he was bagged out pretty much constantly. I don't think there's any player that's a protected species on here. Weird take.

Jake Kelly

 

[Cold Sober]

Was the only Ess player worth watching.
Pick 53 will take 10 years to kick 40 goals let alone give us a bit of middle clearance grunt.

I had people jump on me whenever I questioned his conditioning / application so from my point of view it is not weird at all. So much so that I stopped commenting TBH. I think it is weird that you think it is weird.

At least the other Jake alwys gave 100%, whether he was trying to lockdown or kicking someone after they had taken a screamer over him!

He come good last couple of games. Finally starting to pay off our investment in him, could be the Renaissance Man in 2025

As I say, protected species.

So people disagreeing with you = protected species. Ok.

Protected species in my mind means that you were prevented from expressing your opinion.

In the context of what I posted- It felt like he was a bit of a protected species because people would leap to his defence, make allowances etc and when clearly he was presenting in an unprofessional manner. You don't have to agree with me and i'm happy to kep calling it as I see it regardless.

In the past decade there were only three players I could count on to give us a few goal of the year/mark of the year contenders each year and were the most likely to single handedly get us over the line on ANZAC day and other big games. Those players were Joe, Tippa and Jake.
Players with that X factor don't grow on trees and when your team delivers as little success as our club does its these sort of players that still make you want to go see the footy live.
Sad that none of the three are still at club, the excitement at the end of 2017 is all but a distant memory. Hopefully guys like Caddy can step up to replace them, because the cupboard is pretty bare.

At least we'll have a new cult hero in Kako.

Cult hero? I had him slated for whipping boy...

We'll give him a quarter to prove himself one or the other.
