The Jackson FIX

The phrase ‘breakout year’ feels like it is having a breakout year.

Is Andy Dufresne digging it with a teaspoon??

It’s February. And it was 30 degrees. Don’t look too much into it

Not feeling warm and fuzzy about Kolt bringjng it out of the backline 🥴

He’d want to given the volume that spews out of his mouth

I also find that odd. It’s not as if the captain/vice captain need the clear air to acknowledge and celebrate their roles separately - they’ve been in there forever!

I fear this isn’t going to be a fun death ride 😢 However, on the off chance it is, I’m torn as to whether seeing Dimma fail or seeing Melbourne getting a high draft pick will be the better spoil? 😀

Missed opportunity to not include a second vice captain as part of a longer term leadership transition, particularly given Viney’s on-field absence.

Sadly Jeffo is more of a ‘still in the hangar’ than a ‘flying under the radar’ type. Hope he soars. I have seen some things to have some hope.

Surely we’re looking at him after clearing some space in our loose-list cap over the offseason?

Predicting that Corns’ carreer as a savant is as successful as his career as a fireman.

He won’t be able to hear your boos from the enclosed OAP box in the MCC anyway.

Don’t understand the mindset of those shaping up to boo him. Aside from the years of service to our club, he played one of the great individual games in the club’s only premiership for many of us. For that alone, I will always have a soft spot for him.

After Origin Jeff White commented something along the lines of ‘looks like Darcy Cameron has gone to school on this new rule over the off-season’. And Max, by his own admission, said he’d been found out a few times in match sim on the new rule. Our head coach was an elite ruckman and we’ve got the best ruckman of the last 20 years in our side. Not sure what they got up to in the pre-season but not feeling warm and fuzzy that we’re in a good position to leverage an historical strength.

I am. Moreso the compounding impact of the new rule + ageing + his ‘saviour’ complex (where he tries to do it all on his own when the chips are down) + transforming side around him. Obviously be ecstatic if I am wrong but I worry that all signs are pointing to the big fella starting to fall away. worst case scenario is he could start to become a liability to our progress. If this was the nba we’d trade him to a contender for 12 first round draft picks and give him another chance at glory.
