I just watched Jacksons hls, He moves well, but im not sure he can kick that well. That is not exciting to me!

[Demonstone 23,130]

Shame about the poor spelling and grammatical errors.  Is Ben Gibson the work experience kid?

Not long now....

Great we chose Jackson and in two years time he is on a plane back home to WA.

That's good he will fit in well with the rest of his team mates.

I’d be excited if I was him too...

The bloke can finally go on an absolute bender on Friday night!

Once again the club is slow to act! #sackgoodwin #sacktaylor #sacknorthey

But seriously, good luck to Jason Taylor.  His night(s) of the year where he gets to go on an giant easter egg hunt.  And word is he is actually pretty good at it.

If we do grab Jackson there's a case for being optimistic - Oliver was the same kind of deal. We identified a player we absolutely believed in, paid the price to get them rather than follow the implied rules of the hundreds of phantom drafts, and came out laughing.

Doing that with a tall inside midfielder is great. To do that with a ruckman/forward, at a time when young rucks in particular are in desperate short supply, would be truly stellar.  There must be only half a dozen truly outstanding rucks of any age in the AFL at the moment - the All-Aus selection is an annual two-horse race and there just aren't that many future contenders lurking in the under-25 age group.

If it works, the rewards are enormous and if Taylor & co believe in him, then it's a thrill.

Sorry.  Got a little off topic to the Jackson debate.  I guess my main point is - that's got to be a thrill, having that much responsibility when you believe in your own ability to shine through.

Good to see they've fixed the schoolboy howlers.  Credit where it's due etc but it should never have gone out like that.

Well yeah, because a few of the past selections have opened up the opportunity for them, by playing insignificant footy...

The draft will be fun but what I am most excited about is   @WERRIDEE doing his post-draft best 22

Gibbo is the young fella who does the interviews on the club website. He's usually pretty solid but unfortunately, he's had a clanger there.

Gone are the days of editors and sub-editors - he would have had 15-30 minutes to get that up on the site, so I'll cut him some slack.
