Some merit there. I said this plenty of times, Jack one on one is a dangerous player. Smart and can out position the opponent. You are right, Lynch can have two against him and another front and back waiting for the crumbs. I loved Lynch's games against the dogs.After watching the replay , I was really liking his hands and movement in the first quarter, forget the fact he kicked 3 goals , just looked good after that he got a bath from a solid backman who he would have had kicked 6 on 2 years ago. Hate been critical of a genuine Richmond star , however I think his time up is coming quickly, clubs leave Jack one out and just focus on Lynch now , that dosent mean I don’t think he still has a role this year, especially with him kicking very well for goal , but the fact is going forward we must find another key forward, this is why we need to really have a look at CJ with Lynch as this could solve the problem quickly and allow us to develop a draftee from this years crop.
I know I’m on my own here , however I’d play Jack back in his original HFF roleSeriously let him play up the ground a lot more and allow Lynch and CJ to work together deep.
This nails it IMHO
Unless we can get a ready replacement mobile KPF, we keep Jack.
Jack can still play at this level, but he has set a high bar so when he doesn't get to it people just write him off.
How about we judge him when we have a best midfield back on the park.
We are missing 5 of our best 6 mids FFS.
Yep.
So many times people crack the *smile* over Jaaack not dancing on heads n getting his bags of goals or his lack of running speed n they start calling for the farewell parade. He's still one of the smartest footballers out there playing the game n his bustling body positioning, grubber toe pokes n delicate tap ons still so often result in us getting a clean possession and chance at goal that we'd be mad to push him out before stumps.
Jack is a beauty.
He's carried a huge load for a long time now.
He's no longer a genuine tall, so to speak, even though he's still trying to fly for the screamers.
It would be good to get another tall into the forward line and let Jack off the leash as he struts between the two arcs.
Such a smart footballer. Take some of the pressure off him, give him some space and he will continue to be a creative player.

Also he is a reliable set shot for goal unlike some of our other forwards who can’t hit the side of a barn from 20m out directly in front
Jack is our best field kick. His kicking to advantage today has been brilliant. Can he play up the ground and allow CCJ and Lynch to play as key forwards? Endurance to play on a wing? Can he do a Richo (who moved up the ground for him)?
Jack was humble when asked but I reckon his mark looks more dangerous than Cuz Nick.
Man. What a champion.
Two proper bigs - Jack's been lying about his height for 15 years - and he can get up the ground, lose the mug on him in traffic, lead into holes without two hanging off him and set up his mates.
And when Adelaide were starting to think, "we can pinch this", went, "Nah. Don't think so."
All-time great, not just of the club but of the game.

I think it’s a big chance. The way the game is being played in 2021 the opportunity to play three genuine key fwds is there.
Played the ‘Richo’ role ala 2008.
Up the ground using his smarts but completely outsmarting the opposition.
Also reckon he loved roaming around and not being 1 on 4 all day.
Yep, and this is a vital strength we can build in the team for the number 14.
