Has been immense in some games for us this year. Has definitely found his form of old. Was in the back of my mind that he may have been on the slide this year, but obviously not.
Good to see some increase in form from the likes of Sauce, Douglas, Kelly and Otten

Damn straight.
Hes improved, but lets see how he goes when under pressure. Easy to look good in the side at the moment. A lot of our losses last year were in part due to him being ineffective in the ruck.
The 3rd man up rule has helped a lot as well.

I did. I said the Max Gawn type of ruckman is what you nees nowdays. Not just a tap ruckman but a mobile contested marking tall who can go forward and kick a couple of goals a game.

Yep thought we needed more mobility, all we needed was to tell Sauce we might recruit Grundy and wolla!
We need to give some games to ROB against the crappy sides I think. Keep Jacobs fresh
I am not sure. He is the kind of guy who seems to love the week in week out grind of AFL footy.
Not sure he would really benefit from a rest it may upset his form and rhythm.
He did look done last year. But as pointed out earlier that coincided with his rolled ankle. The club probanly erred in not giving him more rest then. As they did Jenkins.

His ball use is elite for a ruckman, it's better than half our midfield. It's handy, especially with our fast paced style, to have a ruckman who can actually hit targets by foot rather than always searching for a mid to hand it off to.
I said he couldn't jump so was wrong, he must have a bouncy castle in his back yard and practices every night
Sauce has been great this year. I still want to see some ROB action though.
It takes me a while to diss my own, but it does happen....yeah I am looking at you Mackay....and even he is playing good footy.

I'm sucking up to the mod in agreeing with every word. Oh except specifically
Oh and yeah put me down for not believing 100% in #OrganicGrowth
I was concerned that against the "athletic" types he was gonna really struggle, his game against Ryder (more hit outs to advantage), proved to me he has plenty left in the tank

I think the Jury is well out about if ROB will make it. I think they need to give him some games to see if he can make the step up.
Continuing to play SANFL for the next few years Sauce is still around isnt going to do anything for him.

That is exactly what is still need. Jacobs has been able to been doing that somewhat I'm the first few games. He's been better around the ground, getting involved in play, taking marks and kicking goals.
Whether he's able to continue to do that will be dependent on how we manage him.
He still moves like every joint in his body is suffering arthritis and I just wonder what sort of toll the game is taking on his body, especially considering how many minutes he plays.
We definitely need to manage him.
You use the word elite too liberally or you have low standards.

You miss the bit where he said Ruckman??
Edit : disposal efficiency of 78.3% is pretty decent for a Ruckman.

A bigger deal out west.
Disposal efficiency is the marker of safe, not elite disposal.
Elite disposal is reserved to those who can pierce zones and hit the high degree of difficulty passes.

Another that fails to see that was in reference to the majority of Ruckmen who historically can't hit the side of a barn....

Because he is the best Ruckman still.

My complaint was in the usage of the word elite though.
One of the safest ruckman disposal wise, and I'd agree with you.
