Jai's constant improvement and footy IQ suggests that he'll be like Sam - always chiseling and sculpting his game; always improving and adding more even when his body eventually starts to slow down.
For a guy with his size and inside game as well it makes for a long career ahead, in the realm of perhaps 10 more glorious years or so.
It's going to be fun to watch.

The 2019 draft, in hindsight, is one of the best of the modern era. The section of 23 year old players this season has some of the best players in the competition, including 6 of the top 20 rated players for 2024.
Caleb Serong
Matt Rowell
Hayden Young
Noah Anderson
Chad Warner
Jai Newcombe
Sam Flanders
Tom Green
Luke Jackson
Nic Martin
Kozzie Pickett
Will Day
In terms of coaches votes over their career, the top 5 are:
Caleb Serong - 282 from 103 games
Noah Anderson - 216 from 104 games
Jai Newcombe - 191 from 76 games
Chad Warner - 189 from 83 games
Matt Rowell - 182 from 85 games
So, despite having played a year and a half less footy than his compatriots and coming from a mile further back, Jai has clawed his way to third on that list and the second highest average with 2.5 CV per game to Caleb Serong with 2.7 CV per game. A star, only getting better every year.

And not a single 'high fend off' free kick against him
They only pay that against the Hawks.

Slow start to the year but got busy when we needed him. His brute force ya luv to see it. More pack marks & hopefully a bit more time going forward kicking goals next year. If he keeps improving as he enters his prime he defs going to be in the conversation as one of the premier mids.
Great season

Star. I think he was carrying something early in the year but we'll never know. He lacked his explosiveness to the naked eye. However I dunno how it could be OP or something and have recovered so well, maybe it could've been though. Anyway what a year for him.
