Welcome Welcome to the Hawks Jack Scrimshaw

[TylerDurden]

the eye test is telling me he has adopted two things I wanted to see more of

harder edge / urgency
less backward kicks & more speed on the ball launching attacks

100%
Looks like he's taking the game a lot more seriously

 

[SammyC]

Killing it this year. Love the balance in his game too - defensively strong and launching offence.

From memory, the VFL games last year were about building the defensive skills and mindset.

The way he is playing now is a testament to both Sam as a coach and Jack’s character. He could have coasted along in the B22 but never fully delivered on his talent and potential. He was challenged and pushed to get the best out of himself, duly responded and now delivering on field. It’s a great outcome not only for him but a great demonstration to the young group of the rewards that can come if you put the work and effort in, hopefully this transfers to the youngsters.

He has also close to the 100 game mark where it all starts to click

 

[Judd2Sewell]

That one passage of play on the outer wing, where he collected the ball in a contested situation and did a back-step, whilst literally everyone around him was fooled into going forwards, was the best looking play of the game. It was like some anime move.

Pretty sure he also hit an inboard target after that too.

Can anyone do a gif of this?

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Gone up a level.

 

[Hawkas1988]

He was challenged last year and he has certainly responded. I know some were upset with him playing 2s last year but it has worked wonders into him becoming a much more rounded footballer. Well done Scrimmer.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Love that he has a bit of campaigner in him now.

 

[Sixpence]

One pleasing thing about this game was seeing Scrim, Sic and Frost go in to bat for each other. They weren't letting Naughton get away with being a campaigner.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

According to our BG contract list, Scrimmer is out of contract at the end of this year. Have I missed any extension? If not sign him up Hawkers please.

 

[Hawk1986]

Can’t read the article, but don’t remember anything from the game. Hopefully nothing in this

 

[SSSSSS]

Yeh of course they will try to pick up some bullshit against us.

jelly vibes.

 

[humid hawk]

On the AFL app yesterday he was listed as injured - unsure why.

 

[bigmaxi]

The look on Scrimshaws face post win as the players gathered for the ceremony told it all. Puffed up chest gritty smile on his face strutting around like a KPD should after a hard fought scrappy win. The penny has dropped and he can see it in himself. Kudo's Jack, welcome to the big time, key position player.

 

[Brishawk]

Was heroic yesterday. Fought hard at every contest. Playing with the urgency and intensity that we need and we are seeing the most of his talent now.

 

[TheFourPillars]

I think we can safely say now Scrim is a KPD. He has abandoned our list of Half back flankers. Sam pushed him because he knew he could do it and Scrim has just proven it to himself.

Agree - reads the ball well enough and has enough footy smarts to compete well with taller and heavier opponents. Was superb yesterday and lead the defence with aplomb in the absence of Sis

 

[TylerDurden]

Will get a week. Nothing surer.

Says it was a dangerous tackle on Stocker late in the game that left him looking dazed.

Found it on the Kayo stream 2:37:30, 6:45 left on match clock.

Not sure there is an effective argument to be made. Looks like it will be a week.

 

[rei154]

Will get a week. Nothing surer.

What for?

 

[TylerDurden]

What for?

Dangerous sling tackle on Stocker. 6 mins to go in the game.

[CHUBBSS]

Looks in the best condition his ever been in and really filled out now.

All those Pilates/yoga he has been doing is paying off (on top of everything else)

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Call me an absolute mad man. He has been the best defender in the game in the last few weeks. Let's hope he can keep doing it consistently.
