He is the first one of the phasing out blokes to get another year. He's playing well enough, he plays a position we have no back up (hello list management issue) and I think he has the most enthusiasm. Probs should have been captain this year and next but missed that opportunity
I actually agree that Jack would've been a good Skipper if given the opportunity.
I reckon it's like when you see a bird and no you like her but don't want to tell her unless she doesn't like you.
Just need to go all in and see if she / Jack is keen coz she / Jack is worth it
Needs to bring more leadership at training to teach some players how to get rid of the goal kicking yips. Our team ethics are *smile* poor nowadays!
Never had much pace to lose, still got enough leap to contest for marks. Decent shot at goal n more footy smarts than anyone on our list. Jaaack gets another year if he still wants it.
Definitely needs another key forward ( Lynchy ) alongside though. As soon as the big fella went off with the hammy Mould Coast simply floated a spare in front of Jaaack all game long n he had two or three to contend with for every ball, hence a couple of the over exuberant leaps.

I'm conflicted on whether Jack goes around again next year. It will be hard to develop a Bauer, Balta or Gibcus with Jack and Tom playing deep in the forward line.
Jack's development benefited from Richo going to the wing. Would playing Jack as a higher forward be a good option?
With his instinct and instruction, it would be invaluable if Jack plays next season.

Feels weird this thread, start of the year I was defending him against the mob who said he was done and should have retired end 21. Now I'm hosing down the mobs demands he plays on in 23!
Either way, I love Jack, and what happens happens. I think he's doing well in his role as cunning old foil this year, but next will be one too many, ah la Roughead. I've always said its very rare, but best, if a player retires with a little bit left in the tank. But what do I know?

i reckon there is little chance Jack and Tom play close to 44 games between them year, so there would still be plenty of opportunities for our next 1 or 2 in line.
300 absolute tops with clear notice he ain’t first picked each week… make way to blood kids, but to teach them
Not sure Jack's leadership is strong enough at the moment and on that there would be no reason for him to go on next year. I'd rather Cotch go around again next year with managed gametime.
Too many posters seem to forget that Jack has a big say in his future and not us
Yep. Play another season plus he gets to work with Robo and Whiney for another year. Win\lose out come
Agree - he's got to accept something like that if he wants to play on.
While 300k might seem a modest or even salary by his career average - it's still more than handy.
And he could be seen as contributing to the Club's future.
FWIW , is actually moving , marking and playing better than last year ,,,kicking is sublime , watch this man snap a goal , textbook
