His good was very good, but injuries haven't helped. Not sure he is the type we need. Don't get me wrong he would be a wonderful addition and would be in our best 22, but is he too similar to our other two medium forwards in Higgins and Dickson?

I think he's slightly different to those guys, but may struggle to play in the forward line if they are as you suggest.

That being said, if he can get himself back into peak fitness and form, he'd be worth a look as we need run and players who can kick goals. I wonder if he could get fit enough to play predominately as a running midfielder. May need to improve his defensive efforts and contested ball a bit perhaps to play that role too, not sure if he could.

I wouldn't want to pay a lot for his services either, so if there are a few interested parties as there's rumoured to be, we might not chase him at all.

Knights as a reputation as being a bit soft. So that rules him out from us I would say.

Ps Salopek has quit the power today, speaking of soft

Good engine from what I've heard. He's an inside mid as well which is probably a too many cooks scenario. Not sure on how his disposal rates.

Looks like Richmond are interested in him.

I saw him absolutely dominate a state under 18 game 2 or 3 years ago (about 50 possessions) but dont think he has done a lot since. Does he need to muscle up?

Would look at him at the right price, for sure.

Not surprised he didnt enjoy his time at the Power, was treated like cr2p by some of his supposed "team mates" while on the Oval sometimes.

Any reasons why ?

Interesting, do you mind elaborating?

Being an inside mid is an asset not a liablity. It's a lack of speed and/or skill that's a liability. You can never have too many inside mids with speed and/or skill.

Is Jacobs quick?
