Congratulations to Jack.  Has provided leadership and stability to Casey, and got lots of possessions.  Good luck to Bayley F getting onto an AFL list

I don't get this comment. Why do you say that?

I just hope that there is either a role around the MFC where he can continue to keep involved (whilst off our list and outside our salary cap)!  Love to see him keep playing at Casey and maybe even Captain them to a Premiership. He is too popular and too good a footballer to leave the MFC family when he can obviously contribute at this well and help develop our youngsters.

Great to read him win it.

Also good news regarding Bayley Fritsch. I hope we can pick him up in the draft (ahead of other clubs).

[Deemented Are Go! 3,677]

Well done, JT. Good luck for whatever the future brings you.

[spirit of norm smith 16,285]

Great news. JT deserves to smile. He is a champion. Unfortunately injury has cruelled his career. He may find another AFL list but will be a fill in type. 

Perhaps captain of Casey or Sturt in SANFL. 

Best wishes to Jack

Generally any established player that wins your reserves B&F is normally delisted.  Simply they are starring in the reserves but not getting a game in the 1st's.  Which was Jack's situation.  

But congratulations to Jack on the parting award.

Jesse Hogan.

Hogan wasn't able to play senior football that year, that's the key point.

[bjDee 1,249]

Congrats and many thanks to JT for a great season. A champion individual and leader. Keep going lad. You WILL persevere and succeed in life.

Interesting to read an article yesterday on how the elite sports coach for Storm decided he could improve Billy Slater's running speed even though he is in his 30's. He rated Slater as having good acceleration but average leg speed so worked with Billy during his 2 years of injury and has measured a 10% increase in leg speed in a 34 year old! And of course it has been on display this season. 

I wonder did we put in the same effort with JT to improve his leg speed over the last 2 or 3 seasons? If Jack had 10% more leg speed would he be AFL standard? Of course Jack's problem may be more about acceleration than absolute speed but you can probably do things to increase your explosiveness as well. 

I never got the impression we were doing anything special for Jack in this area. I noted some repeat sprint work at training early this season but then someone commented on how he seemed to have trimmed down in the lower body this year. The exact opposite you would expect if you want to build speed vs endurance. 

Anyway it is all too late now.

Big deal. He tried. He was no good at AFL after about year 2 due to injuries. Nice guy. Another Demons bad luck disaster.
