So is Cloke. I wouldn't really class either of them as contested beasts.

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

Just pumping them up

Both can take a good strong mark, something we have lacked in the forward 50.

Re: Jack Redpath

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.

Often a player returning from a long term injury will struggle in their second game back.

Re: Jack Redpath

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.

To be honest he looked really slow in his return match for Footscray. Strong but slow.
He has missed a large slice of footy so must be underdone.

Re: Jack Redpath

I cut Jack a bit of slack with only 2 games back. He kicked 2 against geelong whilst Hawkins kicked one.

It wasn't a game for big forwads. Somehow Taylor kicks 5 though.

Re: Jack Redpath

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.

Re: Jack Redpath

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.

Re: Jack Redpath

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

Re: Jack Redpath

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?

Re: Jack Redpath

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?

I dont think we can afford to play him off 6 day breaks or coming back from an interstate trip. His turning circle is a worry & his kicking for goal is poor for someone who kicks the ball well. Heard Carlton are into him.
