Of course I do. I want him to kick 50 goals. Its just not going to happen mate. I dont live in an alternate reality.

I have been on this BF shit for years. Every year in pre season ive been a glass half full, optimistic and most of the time hopeful. Thats gone, there aint no more of this “positive” shit.

The two other mature recruits showed in 2024 they still have footy left. This guy has nothing left. Worst recruitment decision since Polec.

No wuckas fair enough

Tbh I hated the trade at first all I could think of were those dropped chest marks Recurring visions were playing over in my head!

Have come around a bit now so am going to back him in. He’s one of us now like it or not until he proves otherwise

I was wrong with Sav Rocca way back when so gotta give him a chance

Sav Rocco

The big sav was 27 when we recruited him.

Yep both big forwards get the age difference but they were brought in for different purposes. Rocca’s two years before coming to us he had missed about 10 games in each of those seasons. Malthouse wanted to retire him off from memory (patella injury)

Jack is a stop gap to give Larks & co a chop out but also think his experience will be of great benefit for the younger guys

Anyway you know why he was brought in whether you agree with it or not is your call

It’s the old time will tell
