I'd play him again and drop Darling for Oscar.
Think the team would be more dynamic

Watched his debut at an Inverloch pub & chatted with a couple of folks who knew Jack growing up. Was told he had little serious interest at all in footy til really late, more into his surfing.
Only other thing I learned was that a lot of locals had money on him kicking the first, which you could hear audibly when he was out in space in Q1 and burned by Waterman

They're not going to pick him, Mitch.

Super promising game today by Jack. Look forward to what he can become once he has a position locked down and his first preseason under his belt.
Wonder if those coaches who see him as a half back will be still at the club next year.

He was a shining light on a dark day for West Coast as their season came to an end with a belting at Kardinya Park.

Is he still eligible for a Rising Star nomination?

22, actually. Dunno where you got the extra six years from.
hes 33 next week
He's 45 and so is my wife.
Ochre
:o
He's 28 until he turns 29
I think we need more sample size. Let's hold our horses. Run under the assumption we haven't found one. And draft as per normal
Nah, get some more half back flankers, and half forward flankers!
Flankers all round!

Are we still sponsored by HBF.
Maybe they are real literal.
I wouldve been very disappointed if we'd drafted him to try to fit him into our forward line

And yet folks were melting pre-game about him getting a full run at it.
Seems a natural. Good size and athleticism.
Really solid building blocks. Hopefully gets a good preseason under his belt and a clear run at it
And wingman
I was melting because he hasn’t / wasnt performing in the role he was chosen in (six touches in first half). I don’t think anyone questions his natural ability.
I’m very happy we have found his role but the process should still be better.
I think it’s not that we have a mostly untalented list but rather we’re still finding where the best positions are for many players.
Ginbey might be a good half back. Hutch might be a good midfielder. Maric looks AFL standard but where? Same for Chesser. BWill might be AFL standard but (obviously) not as a first ruck. Dewar? Johnston? Hall? Brockman? Long?
(Or it might be TK to HFF or Yeo to HBF etc.)
I’d rather we’re experimenting shuffling these guys around rather than taking the easy way out by selecting ‘nearly’ players like Petro or Witho. (Or JD or Sheed.)
+1
Thought he’d been given undue opportunities based on very limited exposed form at AFL or WAFL level outside of the 5 goal outing against Perth up in Northam.
Pleasantly surprised at how well he performed on ball in the second half.
