Thing with Jaksch is he doesn't have the same upside that Jones has/had.
He is shorter, less agile, slower and appears to have less of a tank.
I'd prefer to keep Gorringe than Jaksch for the same reasons.
How do you know what upside Jaksch has and, apart from RR, who really knew that Jones had an upside? Jaksch hasn't really shown much, apart from those first few games when he seemed equally at home in defence or the forward line.
I have been very critical of Jaksch's inability to play with the intensity necessary at AFL level but, if it came down to a choice between Gorringe and Jaksch, I'd keep Jaksch.
