I actually agree with you to a certain extent. He's a super smart player and actually wins more contests than he's given credit for. He was certainly not consistent in his willingness to defend though. That said, I don't want to overstate this because I think the criticism of him over the years has been nothing short of ridiculous. Quote
Pickett2Jackson 3,904 Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Speaking of duds we have drafted with pick 1, Tom Sc@#ly is averaging a pathetic 12 possessions a game this season for Hawthorn. Quote
Hatchman 539 Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 I met his Dad at a port game at the G a couple of years ago. He was sitting behind me the whole game. Lovely bloke as was his family that were with him. Before leaving I said to his Dad, that I would never wish any harm on Jack, he's copped way more than he ever should have in terms of criticism and was badly managed earlier on and that I hope he does well. And I meant every word of it. I hope he gets on the park again 1 Quote

Jack plays in GF and kicks 5 goals including the winning goal after the final siren 55 metres out on the boundary line............against us! I don't think jack has ever kicked 5 in a home and away match. 4 is his highest. He did kick 6 in a preseason game for port once. Quote

Tom can't run 20 km in a game anymore, that was his 1 wood, endurance is all that he ever had, without that he's an amateur. 1 Quote

I think he is in a nutshell the paradigm for the decline of Hawthorn. Instead of investing in kids, they paid for perceived talent. Many of them have been has-beens for a while now, Scullduggery the leading example. Quote

The Hawks outsmarted themselves, thought they were getting a steal for Scully, turns out pick 60 odd was overs for tom 2 Quote
