Unless he can improve his attack on the ball and contested side of the game he will not be the player we are needing. Sure he has a nice kick and looks skillful when in space but as soon as there is a hint of contact he is not prepared to dig in and fight. His tackling efforts are quite poor and he has no presence within a contest.
There is a reason he has fallen out of favour at Gold Coast and it is quite simply Hardwick can see his is not prepared to attack the contest in the required manner. I know not all players are built for or capable of impacting a contest but they are expected to go when it is their turn. If this part of his game can't be fixed then we will have used salary cap and draft collateral on a player who will not help us if we somehow make the finals in a year or two. Very rarely in finals is there time and space for players who play like Jack to show off their skills and impact a game.
It appears some people are still wedded to the fact he was pick 2 in the draft years ago along with being a South Australian. If he was from anywhere else I bet we wouldn't even be talking about him and that goes for the List management team. Talk of giving away a future first round pick or downgrading this years first is very worrying considering the obvious deficiencies in his game.
