The Jackson FIX

Not sure I understand this one. His standout games have all been when he is led to the ball. I just feel we have other options to try in this rebounding HB role. Would prefer him in a more regular midfield rotation - taking some defensive pressure off Oliver/Trac/Brayshaw and allowing all three of them to rest forward more regularly (well, Trac and Oliver at least).

Behind paywall. Title of article not ideal

Sadly, I think his best footy coincided with a period when we ran two off half back (him often being one) to create numbers around the contest up the field. I miss those days...

the between the lines in here is interesting; - pert has time to ‘start construction’ on homebase. nothing in there about when the deal gets done, its all about the first brick that gets laid - goody has no time... not lots of wiggle room when you say ‘finals every year’. the Pres can’t miss the first clear goal and not take a scalp

I’m curious why Nev isn’t firmly in the conversation. The guy is a great story and seemingly well-loved. Perhaps from the inside is quieter than we are aware of but he represents grit and resilience, qualities we’ve lacked the span of our premiership drought.

Not convinced his physical condition has been his greatest impediment... I hope he is focusing as much on keeping his mind ‘switched on’ as he is on dropping a few kilos
