He will come in and play 22 games next year, and, barring injury and that, he could come in play AFL footy today and look really comfortable. He is a ready-made player. He is like the old man, in terms of being a raging bull. No disrespect to the old man, he was a bloody hard player to play on, but Jack's got a couple of extra dimensions. He's certainly got that sideways movement and evasive skills. And he's fearless. You need those hard nuts who can go and distribute but he's not just a distributor, he can go and deliver it as well - AIS/AFL academy coach Michael O'Loughlin

Well timed Demonland.

A more positive forum than Caro & Schwabby.

I personally can't wait for Round 1 to see Jack run out in the Red & Blue.

What I have seen of him in Junior footy and at Casey makes me salivate at the thought of what he could do with a bit more support around him in the AFL. He will benefit a hell of a lot more from this pre-season, as will a lot of the other remaining players.

I just can't remember a mid fielder for Melbourne since his old man, that has the courage and strength to tear through packs the way he does. Bring on 2013

Just without the headband?
