I find the criticism of him delusional in the extreme - not that I think he's a guaranteed success. But again - lets have just a little perspective. 20 years old / pick 60ish.
To me he looks like a future Mark Lecras type - although I think he'll be a much better contested / high mark than Lecras. Already is probably.
I only left guys like him out my previous post because we've traded out experienced players to get access to high draft picks. Those are the ones I'm looking at to drive us up the ladder as of now.
What I like about Jack is that he is a footballer first and foremost. He may lack the athleticism of many, but I think that he more than makes up for that with his ability to get in the right positions and to generally use the ball well when he gets it.
He certainly has a way to go to cement a spot in the 22 but he certainly has the football ability to do so.

Agree. Jack has a huge heart and will always give his all. I have a huge amount of time for him and we desperately need players with this level of commitment. I hope like hell he can be successful!

Any of our under 21's -22's could develop into really good footballers.
I think we sometimes lose sight of that because just at the moment there are so many of them.
Whereas in the past we were making calls on mid 20 age players, and that was fair.....now it's a much younger group.

I also hope he'll succeed, but I'm far from convinced.

Either him, Ben, or Tom. Preferably all 4. Maximises our chances of 4 generations of Silvagni.

The only HFF or SF on our list that comes close to Mark LeCras is ....................... none that I can see!
So you don't see any similarities between Jack and Lecras?
Marking player, mid sized, play HFF, not overly quick but a good natural footballer?
No similarity at all?
Jack's quite a bit taller I admit. Incidentally by the time Lecras was 20 he'd kicked 7 goals. Jack 32.
Perspective.
Re: A Rapid Rise Would Not Surprise. - PaulP - 11-01-2018
The fact that Lecras and Jack may share a few superficial characteristics does not in any way make them comparable players.
