    That is correct. With this phenomenon in play, it makes sense that we wouldn’t have the traditional big ‘window.’ It’s going to be a pair of smaller windows. But I will say that the second window will be bigger... and hopefully, better.

    They’re some pretty good kids!

    I genuinely forgot about him! I was more thinking finals anyway and while he was on the field I wouldn't really say he played. He did have a good 15 minutes in the second final however.

    Yep, Jake, although a spud of a bloke, was a handful, a mature body, and a presence. A better player today than Schache. However Schache’s an investment in a somewhat brighter future than what Jake probably has in store.

    However, today, Jake for Schache is a step backwards for us.

    Here’s hoping Schache has his head screwed on and will do whatever it takes to reach his potential. Let’s hope he catches a case of the Dale Morrises..

    If you're thinking post 2015 Jake is very forgettable (on-field at least) which is amazing given his talent.
