for all the talk about viney and vince being top shutdown players, gotta tip my hat to ben jacobs. his ability to go from a rebounding half-back flanker last year / first half of this into a top tagger in the last 6 or so weeks has been a massive part of north becoming a finals aspirant after a shocking start to the year.
dunn being slaughtered by brown early on.
further grist for the mill that fitz should've been given a tunnelball reprieve this week and have been selected to play on him?
tommy mac and howe fly for the same ball...so dumb.
ben jacobs mauling the skipper at every opportunity.
our ability to miss or put a player under pressure with a shocking handball is amazing.
100% agreed that he'll make us s better side.
Unfortunately also 100% agree that these decisions were probably beginning to be discussed 6+ months ago, that the Crows already have a big offer in the table, and he's also likely to want to stay at Geelong.
he's given no indication that he's not going to remain trying to become a cricketer.
he was a supremely talented junior, but hasn't played a competitive game of football for a long, long time.
