I'm a fan of good aerialists and Jacob seems to have this skillset. Hopefully he has all the other attributes required to make it in the AFL.
You’d love Broady then.
He’s a great areolaist

Can’t fault the rationale of the pick, we need forwards. However, at 191cm and 80kg he’s a medium forward and medium forwards have just about the shortest shelf-life of any position on the ground. He needs to be both excellent in the air and at ground level, have good pace off the mark as well as the ability to cover lots of kms.

It won’t be easy but I wish him all the best.
Interesting that Caddy retires and we replace him instantly with Bauer. Cumberland is medium and close to selection too. Parker is about this height. but struggles at AFL Soldo was tried up fwd but wasn't great and Lynch and Balta is back after the bye.

Anyone reckons he might be a chance to debut against PA if Lynch doesn’t come up.

Would rather leave Gibsus where he has been playing. !

Thoughts..

He can take George’s spot
I’m sure Bauer would get more than 2hb a game

Speaks well and sounds like a great attitude from this kid. Calls himself a footy nuffie, finds it invaluable to play with Jack and Lyncho, and doesn't mind if he waits 2 years to get a game. Loves to play with us who have 100K members, big crowd etc... Who the F doesn't want to play with us!! We're the best.

Turns 20 on Saturday, will fly to Melb with his Mum tonight/tomorrow. Looking forward to see him play. Give him number 24.....it's time.

You never know but very unlikely I would of thought. Probably needs to learn our system of play and gets some runs on the board at VFL level first.

This kid is about to get the very best education as a mobile forward he could ever ask for with JR8 teaching him.
