Time to Upgrade Big Jack

Re: Time to Upgrade Big Jack

Would you play him stache?

Sure. His form is reasonable, and it's not as if our forward line could get any worse.

Why is he called Big Jack?

Re: Time to Upgrade Big Jack

Can our members survive giving Redpath a 5-6 week slot? Can our coach? Can Redpath?

I don't think as a club we currently have the will power to see it through. Upgrade him for 2, and lets say both are goalless weeks, and he would be gone. Not sure the timing is right/fair. He's only just showing decent VFL form at the moment. If he kicks another 3-5 goals in his next 2 VFL games I think he's starting to prove something.

Not yet.

I completely understand what you're saying but to be fair, I've seen Jack play a few times this year and he seems to be consistently putting in good performances this year.

Dickson was put on the LTIL 2 weeks ago.

Ah thanks, didn't realise.

I'm guessing we have to choose between keeping Jong up after round 11 when the bonus rookie disappears and putting Redpath up?

43 Jack Redpath
Height 194

Weight 100 kg




We need a bloke that can take a mark, is mobile and kicks goals. Big Jack has kicked 14 at VFL level, time to stick him in the goal square and see how he goes.

I agree. What has impressed me with Jack this season in the VFL, which I don't hear a lot about in the write ups, is his disposal by foot when under pressure. He doesn't just throw it onto the boot carelessly but is considered about it and gives his target a good chance of winning it. His kicking has been.quite an asset at the level.

Well if they are going to trial him, at least give him a few weeks to get used to it.

I agree but I can't see it happening.

I think we may leave out Williams and play Cordy, for no net sum gain, and I wouldn't even bank on that happening. I think we'll leave out a running player for another inside mid and that'll be about it.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Cordy come in.

Re: Time to Upgrade Big Jack

I don't get it .
Wouldn't be about time to see what big Jack has to offer?
We kept these guys on the rookie list, for What reason?
Ayce ( if he gets there) is going to be a ruckman.

To stop Gold Coast and GWS getting them Remi! Geez, it's obvious!

Re: Time to Upgrade Big Jack

Doubt we'll see him. It was either in Macca's press conference or radio interview he said he's got some work to do before he gets selected. I read between the lines and came up with: no chance.

Re: Time to Upgrade Big Jack

Oh Joy! Keeping Williams ( has no idea) putting Cordy there( not a forward) Campbell( not a forward)

On the highlights package (and that is all I have to go on) Cordy looked a more complete player, who got the ball in the air and on the ground. His ball use also looked good.
