    I pointed this out a week or two ago on here and a few people attacked me about it, but he definitely plays for high tackles. Not a great look but doesnt seem like many have picked up on it yet

    But when it came for the club and the fans as a collective to actually take a stand, Geelong was the only team who did.

    His first instinct it seems is to look for contact (inside F50) whereas JPK Hannebery and others look to get their arms free to handball. I think he's kicked 10 goals? from set shots atleast half are from free kicks for high contact


    When is the Rising star nomination announced for this week? Have a annoying feeling they might give it to Eric Hipwood from Brisbane kicked 4 goals this week

    I am glad that nobody here has started a Kieran Jack thread but just watching the last quarter again, gee there is something about Brandon at the moment that almost makes me want to cry. He seems such a sensitive kid and he just looked very sad in the rooms when he joined. Kieran is a bit older and maybe a bit tougher emotionally and better equipped to deal with this situation which I must say doesn't seem like it will be resolved anytime soon if at all.

    I know he has been getting some good reviews in the twos but it could be why the Swans have kept him the twos. He's in good hands at the Swans and I'm sure he's getting all the support he needs in what sounds like a terrible family dynamic...

    Yeah I noticed it and was really happy the club allowed him to travel down. He was also next to his brothers GF.

    Brandon is a millennial, a lot of millennials seem to be a lot more aware about their emotions than previous generations. He is also pretty switched on for a footballer.

    I am sure Brandons ideals clash a lot with his fathers old world views. As much as I shouldn't really hold Garry Snrs era to 2016 standards, but can you imagine a very young Garry Jack writing an article in the SMH back in 1982 about domestic violence or current day issues?

    In the twos he has Shaw.
    He's in good hands

    It does seem to be having a big impact on BJ - he was decent on Saturday for ressies, but like a fair chunk of this season, didn't really appear to be knocking the door down hard for a Seniors recall.

    I'd just assumed he was part Selwood.

    That definitely showed that class through the unfortunate Phil Walsh murder too
