If JR goes on to be a line coach at freaking Haw or somewhere worse THEN I'll probably give it away.
I'll never bring up "the end" again. The club knows. They aren't sitting around circle jerking. And Jack done has everything and more we could have asked. A god to me.
George at 250/1 for Brownlow.Jack was just saving George from the added media scrutiny
Easy money
He’s become a very polished media performer. I bet cousin Nick is hoping Jack will play for a good deal longer, because when he retires and moves into the media that’s something else he’ll do better than his cousin.
First article I ever saw that mentioned Jack in any significant way was about a media training course all of our first year draftees had to do. It turned out to be rather prophetic in his case.
It’s heartening to see Jack in excellent condition this pre-season.
We can attribute his past 2 years of form to PCL effects, pandemic-related effects, and confirmation bias. Age-related decline is unknown.
But even as Jack’s body does eventually challenge him more in the future, I think there’s a strong argument to have unwavering confidence in him.
He wouldn’t have played almost every game for a decade as a KPF if he wasn’t smart at adapting to niggling limitations.
Can’t run? He found a way.
Can’t jump? He found a way.
He’s spent his entire career proving he can perform around physical restrictions.
On a separate note, I’m impressed at how wise and genuine Jack has become talking in that AFL 360 clip posted above. He’s not doing lip service either. He clearly understands the wisdom behind what he’s saying.
By comparison, non-Richmond players answer questions like atheists quoting the bible.
Some high-quality philosophies have filtered through the club. Who was the original preacher at Richmond? Long may leaders like Jack continue to model the club‘s unique culture. I’ll raise a holy drink to that. Amen.

Great game, dropped that last mark due to fatigue, then Jones flopped into his back and tackled him without it due to fatigue.
