Jai certainly appears to play taller than his height.

Could he become a deep marking forward like Frittata, and or a big mid?

Appears to have footy smarts

Given hes 6'4... do you see him as a 7 footer ??

That notion of a big mid had crossed my mind.

That was the 'model' the pundits had in mind for Jackson. Not a ruck per se...but big mobile utility.

He has a bit to learn still. He looks very keen.

Another preseason... could be a very interesting and promising year ahead for Jai.

He's enjoyable to watch.

Pleasingly younger than I actually thought he was, he'll be turning 23 just before the start of the 2026 season. Definitely should get an extension with us. Unfathomable that WCE let him go.

These are the shrewd bits of business we have to conduct to work our way back into finals contention.

We have to get creative and think outside the box atm.

We just don't have world class facilities or wadds off cash to offer prospective recruits.

Look at the state leagues in particularly the SANFL Billy Cootee midfielder and a couple of dashing half back/back pocket types floating around at Norwood worth a good hard look at.
