Can't wait to get him back. He will be a massive addition should we make finals. (we should).
Was getting excited like a little school girl seeing that footage of him pulling the weight sled looked beastly cant wait to have the skipper back.

Wonder if Heppel can keep on keeping on once Jobe returns?

Myers improving even more on current output is equally important.
Not that I'm disappointed in David, but if we have all three of them at the top of their game..
I doubt the likes of Heppell/Myers will keep the same numbers up. They will get less oppurtunity to play in the guts when Watson is back. Heppell may drop from av 30 to av 27.

He's actually averaged less than when Jobe was in the side. His contested possessions have gone up though.
I think both Myers/Heppell will continue on their merry way once Jobe is back if anything it's made them better players in his absence.

If anything, I think Heppell might find it easier once the skipper is back. Less pressure on him and is less likely to cop the tag - not that he hasn't performed brilliantly in Jobe's absence anyway.
Would you make Heppel captain considering Jobe turns 30 next season?

Not next season. imo we should wait at least 2-3 years before making the call on who the new captain will be.

Missed this bloke. His leadership is elite and we lacked it the past few months. Comes back from a freak injury and dominates on his first game back. ****ing gun

Was very clean with his work - Very clean.
Just slotted straight back in like he didn't miss a game.

Understated game... blink and you missed it.. but he is going to have a massive role to play if we make finals..
A lazy 30 touches and a goal after an 8 week break.. 98 DT points.
The bloke is a champion!!!

You feel a bit more secure having him back in there.

Is it my imagination or has Jobe lost a kilo or two while he's been out injured?

I found this video and thought I'd post it in here. A young Jobe and his father hosting a weekly footy series back in the mid 90's.
(mods, sorry if this is the wrong place as I could not find another video thread)

At 10:39: "Oh well he's...one of the Aborigines and he looks to be a great player." Jobe has always been a great media performer.
