Adds that tough edge to the midfield, the Demon vice captain leads by example on the field with his straight ahead approach and unflinching desire for the football.

"The heart-and-soul Demon remains contracted for another three seasons after turning his back on free agency two years ago. The tough midfielder played 22 games in 2022 – his best season return to date – and remains an integral part of the Melbourne midfield machine, averaging almost 26 disposals and an elite 5.7 tackles a game this year." - Herald Sun

    The only knock on his season is he does not kick enough goals and has no depth in his kicking, otherwise I think it was his best season even though he has won the MFC player award on 1 occasion and was runnerup twice.

    Started the year kicking a goal every game for first 5 or 6 rounds. Would love to see that throughout the year. Thought he was absolutely stellar this season

    It was great to see Jack start the year with a full tank, lots of skill, toughness and controlled aggression at the ball and man. Jack played some brilliant footy this year, he would have been disappointed with our last two games but so would the whole team. Let’s hope that he can string 26 games together at that level next year.

    I thought he was tremendous and at times showed a turn of speed which I had long forgotten that he had.

    Jack had a fantastic season, but a pretty poor finals campaign, which will hopefully push him to greater heights in 2023.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
