A midfield gut runner pressure player - not a speedy forward .
It’s a totally different style required.
Why is Short in the middle and Jack isn’t.?
Tag Butters with him?
It worked against Adelaide on the GF
Just do something different

Should not be playing....so slow..so slow ...can work hard to chase but rarely does as port waltz it away
Never anywhere near the fall of the ball in our foward line
Im not sure what he offers ....
Cumbo should be playing

Despite cumberland's flaws, he has to be a better forward option than Mansell and even Graham

Graham, Ross, Riewoldt, Ryan and Young have been woeful. Too slow

Dusty losing too many one on ones.

Been the classic role player over his career , we now need JG to become more of a ball winning midfielder, this half forward role is a waste of time now, we need more midfield rotations , Clarke, Sonsie, Cumberland all should be getting thier chance where JG plays atm

Graham running around like he’s got lead boots on
Far too slow He’s not a HF doesn’t apply scoreboard pressure and defenders easily run away from him

Is Fridge fit?

Where is he playing?

If he isnt fit then he sits out Ross takes his role and Marlion back to his wing.

Yeh, its sad in a way watching hm play. Can understand the significance of 300 but he's basically a liability on the field. A shadow of his best.

Agredd. Reckon get him fresh for his 300th. Sat night against the Saints. A couple of sub appearances int he next 2 weeks, and then the bye. He'll be as fresh as a daisy for his 300th that way, and we can try and bring back a forward half structure that we so desperately need.

Playing small medium forward is power and speed .
Jack is a midfield work horse and a bloody good one

he's done..... IF it wasn't for his great 2017 grand final he would have been off loaded years ago, now he is running around like a 35 year old he cannot jump and he cannot kick over 45m he cannot tag blokes like rozee, neale and oliver would obliterate him. poor overhead and no left side....injuries, stand rule, insufficient attempt to keep the ball in play and kicker inner allowed to run 40m have made the defensive average skilled gut runner obsolete.... then add taranto and hopper coming and sonz and jack ross already have him covered in 2024. there is no spot for him anymore even as depth.

Hasn’t become the midfielder bull I’d hope he would become when he first started out. Not sure what to make of him anymore.
