Cloke has the ability to still take contested marks either in a pack or strong one on one contests... Not sure Jack does.

How did we rate Jack's game last night. Was good the week before but wasn't featured in my bankers last night. I think we can't be too hard on him either as he is finding his way back at senior level.
Big concern is how slow he looked. It's going to be bloody tough having a career as a leading forward if you don't have the burst to create seperation.
I cut Jack a bit of slack with only 2 games back. He kicked 2 against geelong whilst Hawkins kicked one.
The piece of play where he lost sight of a high ball and then took an eternity to turn was pretty embarrassing.. After 3 knee reco's Jack is now a very limited player and I don't think he is the answer.. Needs to do everything he can extremely well to remain viable, but I prefer others.
My concern with Redpath is his inability to apply defensive pressure if he isn't directly in marking contest. 2 tackles in his first 3 games.
He moves around F50 like a forward from the 80s. That mark and goal early was all for the night. With Cloke, Stringer and Dickson back we have options and I think he needs to return to the VFL to work on his fitness and match conditioning.
Whoops
Redders seems a weird case. His career seems to be, have an OK game, but then a poor one. He stays in (if he doesn't get himself suspended) and plays an ok game. But then follows it up with a poor one.
He's still out of contract. Is this the best we can expect from him?
I think he is what he is.
Do we keep him? Not sure. All depends on where do we see Tom Boyd playing 2018 and beyond?
