Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #30 – April 25, 2018, 12:06:18 pm Wright is a goalkicker because he has goal sense and kicks straight, I'd be kicking the ball to him too ....Jack has a few areas to work on and kicking for goal is one of them.Jack is also holding the ball in weird fashion too when he kicks for goal and doesnt seem consistent in his approach.....needs some time with Sav....When you work in starvation corners like the pockets and flanks you have to be able to convert, you look at Richmonds Townsend and he probably has less natural ability than Jack but you give him four or five direct shots on goal and he will kick most of them but with Jack its a toss of the coin.Richmonds forwards are not big names but the key is they all do the basics very well..

It may require more running, better running patterns, better reading of the play, greater understanding of his teammates' ability and more effort.Is Wright targetted as much as Casboult?There is a pecking order and nobody in their right mind would suggest Jack is near the top of that. He probably plays as a decoy more than he plays as a genuine target....making space for Curnowfides and Casboult.Am i worried about Jack and his output? No. Quote Selected

His form will resemble a roller coaster. His career to date has been filled with peaks....troughs are inevitable and we are seeing some now. There will be more peaks soon enough.People expect too much from a pick 54-odd who has exceeded all expectations. If it wasn't for his last name, everybody would be a fan. Quote Selected

Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #35 – April 25, 2018, 05:42:20 pm He did kick six goals in an U/18 championship game and was a bottom age draftee at the time of selection.He was worth a shot. Quote Selected

Why didn't every other club pick them?What about these?Mitch Brown Sam Collins Jordan Dawson Kurt Mutimer Tom Phillips Ryan Gardner Declan Mountford Shane Yarran Matthew Allen Rupert Wills Yestin Eades They were the 11 blokes taken after Jack and before the 2 blokes you mentioned.Guess what including us, 17 teams passed on them during those 30 (+jack) names i just posted. The only team not on that list is Adelaide who only had 2 picks in that draft, both in the first round. Quote Selected
Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #37 – April 25, 2018, 06:04:16 pm I can read names off a list, and I'm quite aware of who was picked before and after Jack. There was nothing to distinguish him from those others other than his name.

My point is that the only reason he was taken at that pick is because of his name. He is a type of player we have in legion - an honest toiler who tries, but really has limited impact. Any chance we could try something different ? Maybe pick up a lazy bastard who actually impacts games ? Quote Selected
Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #40 – April 25, 2018, 06:52:45 pm Tend to agree, his name would have had some pulling power , he hasn't impacted games, not sure the long term viability with SOJ , hasn't kicked on seem slow and doesn't make the most out of the chances he does get Quote Selected

I reckon we did the right thing using our father/son pick then because Jack is a skilful, natural footballer with potential AND you can't have a Silvagni on the Essenscum list. Quote Selected

At any rate, I don't have anything personal against Jack. He is simply the type of player that is starting to give me the sh1ts. Quote Selected
