How about his shots on goal? Very nice stuff.

I'd leave him up forward for a week or two.

Excellent form. And he went back later in the game and played well, I thought.

Yep great debut from Jack, did everything right. Played in front, nice pass to Rocca, chased well, bagged a couple. I thought he was a bit stiff not to get a free in the the 3rd.
Well done Jack!

Give me a break. Thanks for your support. What's your sign? My brain uses AIML to format responses to your inputs, but I don't have one for that.

No chance of getting leather poisoning Jack...?!

Must have felt a bit like a spectator today. But, to get two on debut and to cover as much ground as you did was a real credit to you and it is hard to get a kick with Pebs and Trav around and Dids, Medders, Daisy, Swanny and Mag taking all the crumbs. People will soon learn that throwing yourself around is but one of your trademarks, not to mention a deadly accurate kick over 50m. You just need to get a few more kicks.

Jack looks every bit an AFL player. Fancy playing a kid at Full Forward after hiding him away at Full Back since he joined the club. Really gave a Jack the best chance to impress everyone. The fact he did impress is testament to his versatility and dedication to the task.

Good read, but it has been twelve months, not just six as stated in the article heading.

"You have to show the club and the people that do have faith in you that you're fair dinkum. They give (me) an opportunity, and I took a grasp at that."

Well done JA, looking forward to many more.

I didnt view the performance as favourably as others although I'm not suggesting he disgraced himself.

Positives
- throws himself at the contest
- nice kick

Negatives
- doesn't have a big tank (yet)
- defensive pressure is not up to standard
- looks slower than I remember him

I thought Mick was very fair in his assessment when asked by a Journo what he thought of JA's performance. He should improve considerably in coming months.

Hoping he becomes a very serviceable player.

Good solid debut. Mick rarely throws any player to the wolves and he would not have been given the opportunity if Mick had not thought he was ready.
So game 1 under his belt. 199 to go.........

Well done to John Anthony - he looks hard at it and 2 goals on debut is great. Good luck for the rest of the year!

a defender can kick 50 on the run is great plus.
