Where do you guys think he should play in 2021?

Key forward is the obvious pick, but we might get Ben Brown and Weid will be up there too.   The coaches talked of grand plans to make him a 198cm onballer which would revolutionize the position and isnt an absurd idea considering the gifts hes already shown.

We can rule him out as first ruck of course as we have Gawn, though he will spend decent time there relieving him.  (And a LOT of time there if Gawny goes down.)

One things for sure we all cant wait to see him out there.  His talent level is off the charts.

 

Yep it looks like we hit the jackpot with him.

He's still only a kid though so we don't want him banged about too much. I reckon CHF is his go. He can go high to get a kick or start things moving if necessary . Limited ruck time. 

 

Re-signing priority. West Coast will come hard for him next year.

As for position, I think he still serves his "apprenticeship" in the forward 50 taking the second tall and chopping out in the ruck. Wasn't sold on him during the draft but have done a quick 180, could be anything.


Will rotate between half forward, full forward, wing and inside mid!

And double back (with his two way running power) to do the intercept mark in defense.

[censored] sign him for a 10 year deal now.


No need to rush him. Hopefully VFL back up and running so he can spend some time there with some games in the first team as well. Preferably third tall.

Depends on his preseason. He looks really good leading up at the ball and has held his own pinch hitting in the ruck.

If he has a fantastic pre-season, both on the track and in the gym, he could be used on-ball at different stages.

I'd go with 80% forward, 18% ruck and 2% as a surprise mid (a role I think he'll play more and more as his career goes on).

I think in future years he should be groomed into a full time ruck/4th mid. 


I can see the league going “small ball” with the ruck position similar to how the NBA has gone with centre. 
 

we could be ahead with of the curve!

Pretty much just dominate the whole ground the.

Dogs have trialed it with Dunkley but it might actually work with Jackson

LJ 19 year old with plenty of upside. Had a taste of the big time in his first year and knows what is expected to do to play a role.

His marking will improve as will his kicking for goal and will be stronger for a pre season. Barring any serious injuries l would expect him to help out in the ruck  and play between CHF and deep forward as a second tall  marking option. 

The ideal spare parts man at his age.

 

 

Would be great to have big mature bodies around him to take the best defenders and let him ease into AFL footy. 

will cause nightmares for defenders if he can build a tank and work around the ground. 

Wing. Running up and down the ground marking and winning the ball on the ground. Back, centre and forward.

Langdon's apprentice rotating with Harmes, Hannan and others.

 


Not sure I could take another season of "will he go home" a la Hogan.

Sign him until end of 2023 and let's see.

Hope we don't waste him in the ruck. It's become a dinosaur position the way most play it not to mention hard on the body

This.

adam goodes-a-like

will play a lot forward, a bit ruck, and a bit mid

could even push back and be a drop back defensive option

kid looks the goods

I think this could be a good summary of him, Goodwin said he could be the tallest midfielder to play the game and I think this could well happen because the way he almost glides when he picks the ball up and goes is so unique. 

For next year I think (assuming we end up recruiting the second key forward we need) I see Jacko rotating through a HFF/midfield/ruck role. Which will hopefully help him develop the variety in his game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
