I think with one less KPF Balta would slot in and Tarrant comes back into defense.

Next game moves to 312 games. This puts him to second all time list ahead of Jack Dyer.
Still not getting the credit he deserves. People compare him to his cousin. Or they compare him to Hawkins and Geelong flogs and the media have him behind Hawkins in his career.
He is a champion.

He is, and you’re right about that lack of credit. One of the only ones who does is his cousin.
3 premierships to nil
3 Coleman's to 1
Not surprisingly though Shovekins has more AA jackets....4 to 3. That's because he plays for Geelong / doesn't play for Richmond
Hawkins has 2 premierships I think. ... they won 1 of them off his goal that should have been a point didn’t they?
Jack makes sure the umps see everything. Could be bollocks but I also think Hawkins size means he naturally bundles players over more often.
From memory he didn't lead the Coleman at any stage until after the last home and away round. Something like that.
enjoying Jack leapfrog greats on the all-time golakicking ladder each week. Carey and Hudson last week, next Bill Mohr, whoever that is, then Kernahan, Hall and Rocca.
I have always considered Jack the better forward. Jack's 2017 premiership efforts as the sole tall forward make him pretty unique.
However I think Tom has flourished in the final years of his career, benefitting from his size. Whereas Jack has slowed down.
I don't bother get into arguments anymore. I put Jack, Hawkins and Kennedy as the best of their era, behind Buddy who is one of the greats.
I do think there is ample evidence to put Jack ahead of his cousin. Always a fun conversation with Saints supporters....
