It will come. Worked his arse off tonight.

Agree. Loved his efforts. Was chasing and harassing deep into the fourth quarter. Really led by example.

Shame the siren went just before he took that mark.

 

[tigerlove]

Thought he was pretty average again. Started really well did a couple of nice things but otherwise unsighted. Feel for him with that last mark but his reaction was probably pretty reflective of his form. Is too slow now.

 

[seven]

Struggling big time.

 

[bairdy380]

Looked determined... but still didn’t click

 

[Mycotchinrules]

Still reckon we looked better with Cholly forward.

 

[Sintiger]

I have concerns about Jack. He has always lacked a yard in pace but looks very slow now. Can’t get separation.
That said there is definitely less space in forward lines this season and that hurts him.
Tiger champ so I hope I am wrong

 

[artball]

thought his best work was up the ground tonight , little taps and touches , got involved

 

[DavidSSS]

Solid game, he is much nearer the end of his career but did some good things, brought his footy smarts and that last, too late, mark showed he can still play as a key forward.

The best he has been all year.
He moved around the ground more freely and looked like he was on from the first minute.
A pity the siren went, that was a ripper mark at the end.

Yes I liked how Jack and Tom got up the ground, we looked a lot more dangerous.

 

[Tigers of Old]

There comes a time when a champion older player starts to hold a youngster back who's on the up.
Jack is heading toward the line..

 

[Dont Argue]

Jack to retire?
I laughed and laughed

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Jack’s back, baby!

 

[BT Tiger]

Much better tonight. He's looked hungrier in the last couple of weeks.

Still not quite timing his marks yet, but i reckon its looking far better.

No need to throw him on the scrap heap just yet. There's a bit of football left in JR, even if it is just the remainder of the season.

 

[St Kevin]

Great to see him get reward for effort. Been busting his hump all season.

[TigerFlag2017]

You can see in his kicking that the strength in the legs is back. Building nicely.

 

[tigerlove]

He made the most of his chances and played a good game but his lack of pace still worries me. Our forward setup and forward 50 forays were a lot better today which obviously helps.
