The Jackson FIX

My god Gold Coast could be unbeatable soon

That’s actually one part of our plan I’m not too worried about. Kicks are deep and avoid the corridor = low risk on the turnover. Other teams began to copy

He is quick. You don’t have to like him but blaming his lack of speed isn’t a reasonable reason to dislike him.

FWIW; “ Who is the fastest player in the Melbourne Demons? Kade Chandler When it came to the club's speed Demons, Kade Chandler topped the charts with a scintillating 35.2km/hr sprint recorded in Opening Round against Sydney. Caleb Windsor and Kysaiah Pickett were the other Demons to feature in the top five speeds recorded by a Melbourne player in 2024.”

He is one of, if not fastest player at the club. Top speeds in games last season were published in an article in the site. I think people scratch around for reasons that often don’t exist to not like chin.

I don’t think he has too much to repay

My point is: I’ll hold my pre-season excitement for Jeff until I hear he is taking pack/contested marks, working over key defenders and/or taking marks on a lead.

It was a reference to Jeffo

Heard a lot about him gaining size this pre-season but yet to read of him hitting a pack for a contested mark or taking marks on the lead in match sim or out-muscling Maysie etc. Felt when Roo was turning the corner I read about a lot of those things in the pre-season.

Good footballer. Looks like a bog-ordinary bloke. He’d fit in perfectly over there.

JT would still include him in his rankings. Keeping the comment “our next preferred” in the edit for a pick 6 draftee was a bit odd… so my assumption is it was a direct reference to the publically known fact we selected Ashcroft before him.

I want to see the behind the scenes documentary about how they managed to have jumpers ready with their pick number/name on the back! Did they have a a whole bunch of variations of name and pick number ready to go? Did they just wing it and prepare one jumper for each and hope for the best? Did they iron the numbers and name on the spot and if so who brought the iron?! David Copperfield areas.

Could well have been referencing Levi. We did select him before Langford, after all.

He clearly has a huge tank but that might not necessarily translate to dominant 2km times. I recall Nibbler and Tomlinson dominating recent time trials but I can’t recall Lingers being in that top bracket.

Crikey you can’t call your kid Roy George!
