The one I really want to see more of is of course SOS.
I said last year that it would not surprise me if he turned out the very best of all our draftees from this year. Maybe that is wishful thinking, but I really like everything I have seen of him so far.
I don't know if he will get a game this year (and doesn't matter if he doesn't of course), but I wouldn't mind seeing him get a hit out against a Brisbane, Gold Coast or Essendon for a game, (as long as he is ticking the boxes in the 2s for his efforts etc).
I did like what Fraser had to say about him though. Also LOVED the long goal against Coburg, which reminded me of how I used to hear way back when I was in school about how the elder SOS could roost them 50 m as a 13 year old. Jack is going to have a MASSIVE kick on him I think.
From the little I have seen of Jack, he has the attributes to make it. Best of all, he has that rare commodity; time, in which to sum up the situation, make a good decision and execute well.
I would be surprised if he doesn't crack it for a game before the year is done, but there's no hurry.
