They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Jake was actually terrible in the GF so not sure he proved that.
*Also I'm editing my previous post to not sound like such a prick.

That run around the boundary to set up Picken for the dam breaker goal was pretty awesome.

Yeah he had 2 meaningful touches in the game. His goal was brilliant too.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth
It is rubbish to even think that player A is a better footballer than player B because player A has won a premiership. Ridiculous.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth
This premiership player tag we put on players is a nonsense when people are just talking about their worth.
There are plenty of premiership players who were average but lucky players

Flip side, Cam Mooney played in a NMFC premiership team and registered no possessions. Got a medal for it and all. Meant nothing.

Absolutely. Likewise the champions who never play in a premiership being seen as something less due to their team mates.

The kick inside 50 just before half time which finished in McLean's goal was pretty handy under pressure too.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth
I'm still uncertain about where this ends, but no way is Jake worth anything less than a top 10 pick if it plays out that way.
Interesting take from Cooney, not a terrific endorsement of where Jake is at but rightly identifies the elite potential that's there if unearthed in the right environment.

Mario Bortolotto , Aaron Keating . List is endless of very ordinary footballers who've played in flags .

Chris Grant and Brad Johnson did not play in a premiership. The case is hereby rested.
Crumbs!

Not at all. Clubs know what is happening with players at other teams
