[Roostorm]

Welcome Jacob….good to have you on board

 

[marklovesbeer]

Loving those vfl tackle numbers.

Yeah, one game he had 11 & kicked a goal.
Lots to work with.

Anyone know if he’s got a bit of campaigner about him?

Mentioned him a few times throughout the year (not as many times as Nostrils ). I think he’s well worth a shot to fill that small pressure forward role we’ve been desperate for. From memory in his draft year he had 80 or so tackles for the year, so he goes when it’s his turn.(roos_fanatic08 - Souup - Sphynx maybe be able to confirm that)

Hopefully can build a good partnership with PC, Larks and the rest of the forwards.

Is he a bit like Kayne Turner

Good luck Jacob! Hoping you can bring some pressure and help Curtis out.

Ford may be a bit worried

 

[dus]

Welcome Jacob….good to have you on board

Looks awesome. Get him in.

Could solve a lot of problems for us.

 

[dus]

Credit to Nortrils who called this from a long way out.

 

[Dingster]

Will get his chance. Was vc in U18s so hopefully a sign of his work ethic.

 

[Roostorm]

Looks awesome. Get him in.

Could solve a lot of problems for us.

Indeed…and a free hit…winning

 

[showusyacunningt]

Might be the type of team orientated role player that plays better with better players, i.e. at AFL level rather than the VFL.

I think he'll have some moments at Etihad when we're up and about.

There are a few things most of us here roll our eyes at….. certain whipping boy…or girl.
Or disagree with ….
That’s the joy of this board…
But credit where credits due…you did bloody well on the draft ideas …
So congrats
Now enjoy the moment…and don’t get too carried away

 

[Themanbun]

Welcome pacey aggressive small forward. Much needed.

 

[Hotham FC]

Welcome JK. Reunited with Gippy Power teammate BGZ.

 

[the big lebowski]

Welcome Jacob….good to have you on board

Can see how he ripped Callum mills arm out from that footage

Down side is there doesn’t seem to be much crumbing. Looks like he likes to mark the footy to get shots on goal.

“And Jacob’s career is only just beginning. His playing style and ability to apply pressure in the forward line has really stood out to us. We see potential in his football ability and look forward to him getting to work.”

Is that ... super brutal?

What he has is "potential" and what he needs to do is "get to work"

Potential in the AFL instead of VFL.
Get to work means now is his chance

 

[RossHenshaw]

Good steak knives, ill eat my hat if he makes it.

Gives me Jack Mahoney vibes

Our track record of developing small forwards? as i said I'm happy to be proven wrong though.

is your hat made of bacon?

 

[Scottroo]

Great to have Jacob on board. Relatively unknown on here

 

[Hazey1977]

Looks much quicker and desperate than Jack. Maybe not as crafty though...

Enough campaigner to destroy his skippers shoulder for the season

So you want him to shadow LMac in all drills?

If he can take out Mills, LMAc should be within his wheelhouse. Not that is wish injury to any player/person.

Out of interest, did he play TAC with any of our current lads?
