Did Jack tour the facilities. Can see the look of disdain when he asks for a coffee and we point to the kettle and tin of Nescafé .

Collective freak out is way overblown. We need experience, he’s durable, very good defensive pressure numbers for a taller forward, premiership player, etc. It’s fine for where we’re at.

David King just totally against the thought on SEN a few moments ago. Had a swipe at Clarkson on the way though. Said basically why are North going after Darling - has done little for two years. Leadership? Standards? We are heading into the 3rd year of Alistair Clarkson - hasn't that been done?

What did the Dr find during the medical? Hopefully a player that can bring us some much needed experience. Best is passed him ,sure ,but he has kicked over 500 goals. Knows something about playing forward you would think.

Agree it’s fine as a stop gap

But his second year should be vfl mainly

 

[Psicosis]

Ah well. Welcome Jack. Please help our forwards compete better.

We make the same mistakes and expect different results

 

[the big lebowski]

Happy with this. A year too late but better late than never.

 

[Only Forwards]

You'd want him to help get a Waterman style year out of Zurhaar.

 

[Ashley B]

If Jack can kick 15 to 20 goals and help our forward line function better and become more potent then good.

You rang ?

The Newmarket clinic in Racecourse rd. ?

 

[Its a Process]

I hope it was an extensive medical as his movement looked shot when I saw them play this year.

Dunno - we need experience in the front half, I wouldn’t have had this guy at the top of the queue but I’ll Viney & Clarko that they know what they are doing.

Kicked 22.12 in 2024.

Can we get 25-30 out of him?

I for one welcome our new ageing forward line overlord.
