He was brilliant in the first quarter. Then couldn’t get near it after that.

WTF was he doing in the last quarter? 45 out dead in front yet chooses to attempt a pass to Dusty who was 20 out on the boundary and kicked it on the full.

He’s one of the smartest footballers I’ve ever seen but that was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

6 touches, 1 after quarter time. Flashes of the Jack of old but I'm certainly not convinced.

Weird game for Jack. When we were getting clean entries he looked unstoppable. When the game became a bit more of an arm wrestle the smalls took over imo.

Started very well.

Then looked to try and get Tommy into the game by moving out and up the ground.

Poor second half.

He's ok not concerned about him.

Jack and Cotch and Sheds all some bad blews tonight, Dusty a couple and Shai.

Dave and Tommy had bad nights.

Nank and Graham underdone lacking run and touch.

he's not the Jack of old, he's the Jack of now. If we didn't have Tommy we might furrow our brows. as for being not convinced, its one game. Talk to me after 7 or 8.

What did Tommy do tonight? one fires when the other one doesn't, hopefully we get them firing in unison

Looked pretty good to me.

Even if he is slowing down he will require attention from the opposition defence. He's still got that wily capability to impact contests and has a great footballing brain. I wouldn't be too worried about his position in the team at this stage.

Jack would have less pre season than most as an older player slow will wind up into the season.

He'll be moving alot better come round 4 -5

That pass to Martin in the pocket that ended up going out on the full was terrible

Jack looked spent after half time.
The work he put in the first half was unbelievable.
Jack is the polish in the forward line

Sure was one of the weirder decisions I'd seen in a while. Problem for Reiwoldt is he can't kick as far as he used to. He would have stuck that once straight through int he old days but would have struggled to reach the distance lat in the game last night.

He was kicking those only a few months back on the biggest stage. I think he was over doing the team thing in that instance.

Well I reckon he knew exactly what he was doing. ..... he ran the clock down for his 30 knowing that if Dusty marked it he'd do the same..... soon as I saw him start averting his gaze, that's what I thought.

Possibly but why though? We were 18 points in front with 3 minutes to go. If that was his concern should have thumped it towards goal as hard as he could and have it thump through for a behind (would make it 19 points). Seemed like a bit of a brain fade if.

Exactly, was thinking at the time even a point would have done just to put the game completely to rest

Yeah maybe, hope he tells us what he was thinking..... seems to be pretty honest these days Jack, so I imagine if he's stuffed up, he'd say so. In the end we're all just a bunch of amateur footy psychoanalysts apart from Zipps who's an expert in this field ;)

I hope Jack doesn't become the next Adam Goodes.
The shitt he is copping for opening his mouth about the pay dispute is uncall for.
Tony Jones and Parrot had a go at him today on the SFS.
Jack was asked a question by Robbo and he responded.
Why isn't Dangerfield copping the same??
