Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Cat B Rookie (2024) - Jacob Moss

[jackag24]

Massive for a 19 year old

 

[papahuggey]

Jacob is from my footy club in Adelaide. Very very good junior footballer who struggled with some injury’s. Has a massive vertical leap.

Very good pickup

Small world, my Theo coached at CLGFC and my cousin played there too, exciting stuff.

He's 'only' 198cm so hopefully he has some hops.

I would say if your cousin played seniors, I would definitely know who he is!

ButtersxHouston replacement

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Judging by the angles of the camera shots, he's 14 feet tall. That would be handy.

From the photo, looks like he has a fair wingspan, even beyond his 198cm. Looks physically ready too.

Well done Zakk Wylde for the early intel.

I'm assuming one of our other ruckman are out the door end of season then. Otherwise my concern is how do you develop these guys when you have 3 rucks running around in our reserves team looking for the same opportunities

I'd wager they would like to develop him as a FB who can pinch in the ruck. Could stamp Marshall's card for an exit

 

[rumoursofwinter]

198cm basketballer sounds like project kpd.

 

[1954]

If Visentini and Ratugolea are selected for the Power this week it will leave ruck options for the Maggies very thin on the ground, and if that does happen it will be no great surprise if Moss debuts for them this weekend.

As per the opinions of others though 198 cm is a bit on the short side for a ruckman in the AFL, it is possible he may not have finished growing but if he has already reached his peak height he will definitely need a decent vertical leap if playing in the ruck is his preferred option.

He's 198cm, that's not necessarily ruck height these days.

I'd be interested to see if they think key forward or back.

Thats 201-203 in a couple of years.

Think Port are looking at a De Koning / Williams / Draper type?

They go forward.

New knick name shall be " Tucker" as in Tucker's Daughter.

 

[Chrizzt]

New knick name shall be "Roller" as in Roller.

FTFY

 

[RangaInTeal]

New knick name shall be " Tucker" as in Tucker's Daughter.

Or Roller…

 

[RangaInTeal]

New knick name shall be " Tucker" as in Tucker's Daughter.

Always sung the song wrong, thought it was Truckers Daughter, which would make Roller far more fitting

 

[RossFC]

Memphis reckons his nickname should be "Moss Giant".

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Or Roller…

Well he's not a rolling stone

 

[VineValerian]

Good news!
Appears to have the height, strong build, athleticism and wingspan, plus he possesses a successful junior footy background, so his skills for this code should be adequate.
Coming from basketball, hopefully his peripheral vision and spatial awareness are good too.
It's a Cat 'B' spot so nothing to lose in trying him out for a season or two.

Welcome to the PAFC Jacob

Well he's not a rolling stone

Moss grows fat on the rolling stone

Moss grows fat on the rolling stone

But that's not how it used to be

 

[RossFC]

Not picked in the SANFL side yet.

They go forward.

I was 180cm at 16... And never grew any bigger

 

[dirty2]

Oh... Welcome! Nice surprise
